I’m very surprised that I didn’t blog about this on our actual anniversary, which was the 17th. I can not believe it’s been that long, and that so much has happened in those years.
Something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time has been replace DH’s ring with something nicer, like a tungsten wedding band. I’ve casually browsed them, wondering if I could surprise him, but the more that I’ve looked, the more I want his opinion.
Because of his line of work, I know he’ll want to keep it simple. Some of the tungsten bands I have seen seem like they would perfect, like this one:
They have that one, and then one with a straight edge.
I’ve noticed though, that guys take just minutes to decide on a ring when a woman? A woman takes FOREVER. I love my ring – DH picked it and it was a complete surprise to me. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I don’t want a ring with a big diamond on it. Why? I am constantly swinging that hand into the wall when I turn a certain corner in a house. It’s like there’s a magnet or something there, and while it drives me nuts, I just know a different ring would get scratched or something.
So what would you do? Would you take your DH somewhere and make him take his time and really pick out something he likes, or would you go online somewhere like Men’s Tungsten Online and pick one out yourself?

I let my husband pick his out. This past year was our five year anniversary,a nd we finally got new rings, largely becuase Ben’s had gotten so tight we had to have it cut off him. He’s a really big stickler though about he wanted our rings to match, and so he chose the pair for us. Black Ceramic, very pretty, not tungston, but similar properties. For an extra fee we also have a warrenty that since they are not resizeable if we ever need it we take it in to Morgan’s where we bought the rings and can exchanged them for the new size we need for no charge. Pretty cool. But I let him pick, if though you’re really into the surprise and you want to look online. Compromise. Tell him you’re thinking about it and you want to know what he likes. Have him show you between three and five options of rings he wouldn’t mind having and then pick the one that you want to give him of the ones he likes. You know he’ll like it and he’ll get a surprise to see which one you pick.
