is it ok to get a new engagement ring and wedding band after marriage?

Answer 1

Absolutely! Those rings are a trophy, baby, and if you want to celebrate the success of your marriage with a new ring, go right ahead. My original engagement diamond is now one of several in a new ring setting, and my husband and I both retired our old wedding bands for new ones on a significant anniversary. Not everyone can afford to start out with the big rocks, but its perfectly acceptable to get them at a later date whenever you can afford it; jewelers would go out of business otherwise!

Answer 2

I personally don't think so. There is something special about the original set - the engagement ring that the guy chose for the woman, then the wedding band that is usually blessed at the ceremony. I think if after a wedding a woman wants something different, she should just get a dressy ring or something. Or wait til the 25th anniversary for an anniversary or eternity ring.

Answer 3

Of course. The marriage is the most important thing. The ring is a symbol and sometimes it works out where the rings come after the wedding.

Answer 4

Why not get a hoop that ought to bypass for engagement ring or wedding ceremony band and purely have the single ring? placed on it until now the marriage as your engagement ring and then after the marriage it is your wedding ceremony band.

Answer 5

I see nothing wrong with it. My husband has a job where he wore two of his wedding bands out...so I bought him a new one, twice. Now I got him a good comfort band with more too it so it won't wear out. Also for Christmas just over a year ago he bought me a new set. Most people would say that a new set would not have the same sentiment as the original though. I LOVE my new set and passed my original on to my daughter.

Answer 6

Your wedding band is a symbol. It represent your oneness, your bond, your cirlce of unity. I don't think any one should ever change wedding bands. My husband used to tell me that he was going to get me a new ring I told him several times that if he got it I would wear it, however I would not wear it on my ring finger and it would never hold the same meaning that my real wedding band does.

Answer 7

I waited about 7 or 8 months before I got a new wedding set. I plan on up grading soon too.

Answer 8

I guess so. We did because my husband lost his at work fighting a fire and that was the only way we were going to have matching wedding bands again.

Answer 9

If it was because of your financial situation, which has improved since the wedding, then of course. But what I would do is make it a surprise. Like asking her to marry you again.

Answer 10

that sounds senseable . but what are you going to put on each others fingers at the wedding. if you are short of cash just get two gold wedding bands.
i will ask you to do one thing and that is not buy a diamond .
i know that sounds odd but there are horrors beyond that of the holocost going on right now because of the diamond mines in the 3rd world. i wont even list one thing that goes on but i know its true and worse then anything you can imagine
the deburrs that isnt how they spell there name i dont think but this jewish family controls over 90% of all the dimond market and you would think jews would be considerate of others who are in living hell but no . on tv a reporter stopped one of them and asked where do your dimonds come from and he said the air port. when told by the reporter there are no dimond mine at airports he just walked away. so please dont buy a diamond
