Congratulations! You’ve found the love of your life and are about to make it official in the eyes of the world. Unfortunately, weddings and engagements do involve a certain amount of work if everything is to go without a hitch.
While a large part of the wedding and engagement preparations can be left to your close family circle (or a professional wedding planner), there are certain key tasks that require the happy couple to put in an appearance. Fortunately, the majority of these are truly tender occasions that you will look back on fondly for the rest of your life.
Choosing your engagement and wedding bands is one such enjoyable event. While traditionally, it was the groom who chose the engagement ring (In Danish Vielsesringe), an increasing number of modern couples are choosing to do away with the presentation of a ring during the marriage proposal. Instead, they prefer to buy matching sets of engagement and wedding rings that the bride in particular can wear as a matched pair later on.
Making the purchase of the rings (In Danish ringe) a joint venture also has the added advantage of making it easier to take the tastes of both partners into account as well as ensuring that no bloopers occur with regard to the ring size (remember how the picture of William struggling to get the ring onto his Kate’s fingers was one of the few jarring notes in an otherwise fairytale Royal Wedding? The last consideration is particularly important for couples who are planning on using an heirloom wedding or engagement ring.
An engagement ring traditionally offers much more opportunities for creativity when compared to the wedding band which is generally more solemn in tone. Couples with fun or quirky tastes can think about expressing their individual tastes through their engagement jewelry and keep the wedding ring a simple traditional design.
Finally, be sure to choose your rings well in advance, especially if you are planning to go in for a custom made design.
