Men's Wedding

Found this website that has a good selection of wedding bands -- for men -- from Jewelery Vortex.

The Ring Bearer

At the solemnisation/ holy matrimony, someone has to deliver the wedding bands into the hands of the pastor/ justice of peace. This person is usually the bestman or groom's brother. The ring bearer can deliver it straight from the ring holder or through the ring pillow. The latter offers a tinge of romance. The former is a down-to-earth way of introducing the ring into the solemnisation. Your choice.

The Laud of the Rings

The wedding bands signify the union of two and the sacredness of the union.

The bride and groom have different needs when it comes to choosing suitable wedding bands. Comfort is very important but this need is more crucial for men than women. For the ladies, we tend to be comfortable with rings. We love rings, don't we? So it won't be difficult to get used to having one more ring on the fingers. However, the men would probably need more time to get accustomed to their ring, especially if they do not have a habit of wearing rings. Thus, it is one important consideration when a couple chooses their rings.

Here are some considerations when looking for appropriate wedding bands.

1. Ring Shape
There are wedding bands that are slightly curved on the inside rather than being flat. These are comfort fit/ dome-shaped rings. However, this does not necessarily mean that the outside of the ring is rounded too - it can be flat if preferred. It's a matter of personal style and taste. Comfort fit rings allow easy wearing and removal of the ring. As the name suggests, this type of ring feels softer on the finger.

2. Ring Width
Think about the size and length of your fingers as well as personal preference. For the ladies, something not more than 5mm would be preferred. It can be as narrow as the bride fancies. Men would do well with a ring that is not too narrow because a narrow ring could look a tad too feminine for them. Besides looking masculine, wider rings would give a tighter feel. Ultimately, try on the ring to get a feel of it and to see if a particular width is suitable for you.

3. Ring Size
Obviously, you need to choose a size that is not too tight or too loose on your finger. Bear in mind that your finger size will change slightly depending on the seasons of the year and time of the day. For the ladies, when we get pregnant, our fingers might expand a little and this could mean a very tight ring if you choose one that is just fitting. You can consider a slightly bigger size (about 0.5 bigger). However, this is provided the bigger ring does not slip off your finger easily. Nevertheless, for preggies, should you feel the ring is getting too tight for you, take the band off your finger lest it gets stuck on your finger -- for life?

4. Metal

Platinum is the hardest. It doesn't get tarnished easily. White gold does but it is almost twice as cheap as platinum.

As always, taste and preferences play a huge part in shopping for a wedding band. Try on as many wedding bands as you fancy (or could tolerate) till you find one that is comfortable and would be willing to wear.
