no they dont need to match

Answer 2

Yes, I think a husband and wife's wedding rings should match.  As a Wedding Planner that one of my jobs making sure that the Wedding Rings Match because when i usually plan Wedding it for girls that need to have the perfect Wedding which to be honest really never exist you will never be able to have the perfect Wedding of your dreams because even if you plan your Wedding to be the perfect Wedding something or other is going to go wrong.  Anyway, I dont really think it matters as far as traditional Wedding but in my opionion i think they 2 wedding rings should match because you're bring to people together and techally you aren't together as one if you dont match as far as Wedding Rings.

Answer 3

i don't think they need to match. the ring is a symbol of your never ending love for each other, the symbol doesn't change because the rings look different. personally i think that each person should pick out a ring that they love because they are the ones who have to wear it forever. my husbands and mine do not match but they do compliment each other i think but that was just a coincidence.

I don't think they have to match, because by being two different people, you have two different personalities.

In my case, my mister and I wanted them to be the same metal type. We're having custom bands made of 10KY white gold. Mine has 14KY yellow gold accents and his is plain white gold with Celtic knots.

Answer 5

No, I don't think matching rings is necessary.  My fiance and I are individuals, and will still have our own tastes in jewelry and other things long after we're married.  My wedding band is lovely- 14K white gold with three small diamonds in the center.  That would look silly on him!  LOL

His band is a very masculine titanium band, in that gunmetal gray color.  It looks great on him but a similar band would look sort of mannish on me, and it wouldn't match my engagement ring at all!  

Answer 6

i personally like when the rings match because it shows unity in a way

Answer 7

No, it doesn't have to match. No, it doesnt matter. If you both want it to match, great. But most people don't get matching rings.

Answer 8

I want mine and my husband's to match (much to his chagrin), but really, it's a personal thing between the bride and groom, and they can get whatever sort of rings they want, matching or not.

Answer 9

I think this was common at one time, but not so much any more. This tends to go through phases.

I've seen some lovely trio sets - where there is the engagement ring, wedding ring, and band for the husband.

Our rings don't match. My parents' - from 1945 - didn't either.

However, one of my older sisters has a really unusual set, and their rings match - so in their case, I think it's really cool.

I think more recently it isn't happening a lot, because lots of women are following the fad of having white gold, whereas men prefer classic yellow gold.

So, no they don't have to match.

Answer 10

I don't think they need to, but I would like it if mine did.

Answer 11

No not at all. My h2b's ring is titanium and mine is white gold as he doesn't like shiny jewellery and i do. Also mine is shaped as my engagement ring is marquise shaped so a traditional ring wouldn't fit.

Either matching or not matching is fine, it is totally up to the couple.

Answer 12

Our rings don't match, although they are both white gold.  I think you should both get something you like - you're gonna have to wear it the rest of your life. ;o)

Answer 13

I dont think they *should* match. Only if they just happen to like the same style, but thats rare.

Answer 14

Not at all. My fiancee is very utilitarian and simple, where as I really like antique jewelry. He wants a simple, plain band, and I want something that matches my antique engagement ring. I would never think to force him to get something that he doesn't like, nor fits his personality, and I wouldn't want a ring that didn't match my engagement ring.

Answer 15

I think they shouldn't "clash."

Meaning, woman shouldn't have a plain platinum band and guy has over-the-top, diamond-studded, yellow gold monstrosity.

My wife has a very nice channel set engagement ring, and a very nice channel set (with smaller diamonds) wedding band.  Both in platinum.

I got a bezel-cut tungsten carbide ring.  It's brushed silvery-ish.  It's not exactly the same, but it goes nicely.

Answer 16

I don't think it matters. These days I see a lot of people who don't even wear them or change their last name. I find out two people are married and I'm like WHA? They have different last names and don't even wear rings. I wouldn't care as long as he was wearing one.
