titanium wedding band 04 by Article Announcement
Published Date: 10/02/08
When I became engaged, I wanted to do something different. I wanted to get a wedding engagement ring that defied convention. It seems to me that when people are getting wedding bands, they do one of two things. Either they get a simple gold band ? elegant and tasteful but a bit unexciting ? or else they purchase a wedding ring adorned with every possible jewel that can be fit on it. This latter idea seems a bit tacky, but the former idea seems unsatisfying as well. I wanted to get something that was unlike anything I had seen before. I wanted to get a wedding ring that was striking and new.
I decided that I would get my bride to be a titanium wedding band. When I first told her about it, she was not thrilled with the idea. She had never even heard of titanium wedding bands before, and when I took her to the jewelery store to look at them, she did not want one. She is pretty conventional, and something like a titanium wedding bands did not meet her expectations. She was afraid, after all, that her friends would be unimpressed by a titanium wedding band. They would think that I was just getting it to be cheap, and that the fact that she did not have a gold wedding ring meant that I didn't love her.
She knew that I loved her, and then I wanted to get a titanium wedding band because it seemed unconventional and exciting to me. I wasn't being a cheapskate ? in fact titanium many wedding bands cost as much as, or more than, comparable gold wedding bands. I simply thought that we should get wedding engagement rings that looked different. Our relationship is unusual, and our love is unusually strong. A titanium wedding band is also unusual, and is unusually strong as well. It seemed like the perfect match for our love.
Hearing this, she began to see my point. It took some convincing, but after a while she was even more exciting about the idea of getting a titanium wedding band than I was. She couldn't stop talking about it, in fact! Titanium is one of the strongest substances known, and the temptation to use that as an analogy for our relationship was irresistible. In the end, each of us got a simple titanium wedding band with a small diamond embedded in it.
