Is there anyone here, who would be fine if their fiance did not want a wedding band for personal reasons that have nothing to do with money ( honestly )?

yes, it is fine.
It is only a tradition after all.
What you and your partner have should together, should be far more important than a band of metal.
Still, I know more women than men who have gotten upset when their partner, for any reason, stopped wearing their wedding band. Not wearing it to begin with is probably better way of showing the world you are not committed to someone specific.

ooo, I like Paul Hxyz's answer... I completely forgot about the wedding band, the one you wouldn't wear.
Go Paul go! Good answer!

There are sure to be many reasons why men or women may choose not to wear wedding bands, and there is nothing that says anyone HAS to do so.
If you fiance has their own reasons not to wear a wedding band, no-one else really has any say in it.
If you are disappointed and would like him to wear a band, it is really something you need to discuss.

Hehehe ... I just read the answerer regarding the band, as in musicians! Didn't even think of that, but he certainly covers that aspect with excellent advice! Personally, if this is the band you mean, then there are other options ~ lots of people nowadays have jukeboxes, DJs, or just a singer who brings their own backing tapes. The choice is yours!
Best wishes :-)

I'm a professional musician, but its YOUR wedding - what you decide is up to you. A good wedding band is not inexpensive - most bands charge a premium for weddings, and just because a band says it is a wedding band doesn't mean that it is. If you do decide to get a "wedding band" get one with a good "track record" - a bunch of my beer guzzling friends does NOT constitute a "wedding band". If they are telling you "$30 and free beer" is what they are charging, RUN to somebody else. A decent wedding band should be charging about $1,500 or more, depending on size of the band, distance traveled, and who is in the band. If it has a lot of famous musicians in it, it will cost more.

Wearing a wedding band is a choice a person makes.
There are some guys who don't like wedding bands, or any kind of jewelry.
A woman can make this decision, too.
Wedding bands are not very expensive (unless they are encrusted with diamonds.) Buy one for each of you, have it blessed at the ceremony, then keep them locked up in your safe deposit box.

It is fine with me, but I do prefer that we both share a symbol if I'm "supposed" to wear one. I don't think any outward symbol is necessary, however.
Neither of us have wedding bands; instead, we have a small tatoo on our wrist.
