Yellow Gold for him and White Gold for me??

I was going to say what the other girls already did. My addition is that you should both have what you like and what you want, regardless of colour. Its for him to wear, not you and vice versa. So, good chioce to let him have his yellow gold.

my ring is platinum, and his is a white gold w/some celtic knot design - they totally don't match at all and we didn't even thing about them matching. he knew he wanted a ring w/an irish influence, and i didn't.

I don't think it is weird at all. They don't have to be matchy-matchy to each other as long as you both are happy with it. I like the idea of mixing the metals though, like Kelly suggested. Although, my e-ring is both, so I guess I am partial to that already!

My fiance's great-uncle is making us rings out of old quarters (or is it nickels? whatever used to be silver). He uses a spoon and it takes him a few months, so we called him like as soon as we got engaged. I am really excited for that ring. Didn't mean to steal your thread!

I agree with the other girls that your rings don't have to match. My FSIL and her husband have totally different rings, and I have never thought anything of it. I also really like the idea of a two-toned ring for you FI. Then, you could still feel like they "match" a little. Let us know what you decide!

I agree, they don't need to match.

I don't think it matters one bit. You can both wear what is most comfortable, flattering for you.
