I just got married on saturday (9th). it was intense.

i have a tungsten ring. I wanted a really flat gray that didn't really shine to much. Tungsten is the only metal that does this. also available in black.

So far, i like it.

Ours are white gold. First consideration: something silvery and not yellowy. Second consideration: budget. So far: we are happy with our choice. Later, I will post a picture of my cousin and her husband's wedding rings, and it may blow your mind?!

Congratulations Jeremy!!!

Goncratulations Jeremy!

Ours are 14K white gold. Actually, there's pictures of the same type online:

My cousin was married at GenCon, the annual gaming convention. This picture is from the wedding DVD, entitled "My Big Fat Geek Wedding."

If you can't tell from this picture, the "stones" set in those rings are actually 20-sided dice.

I would have to agree with bob weston about white gold.
Its' the way to go.
Gold is too old school and titanium is the "nu"- old school.

Although tonight my wife said that her engagement band is yellowing.
I personally didn't notice it and unless I had seen it against the newer wedding band i would never have noticed, but she is a lady and they notice these things.
apparently it is from getting it cleaned so often.

oh... and congrats.

thanks for the advice!

If you're looking to save a few bucks, then you could have one of the two wedding rings that I have lost.

One ring is at the bottom of Redfish Lake near Stanley ID. It's titanium. I lost that one after I flipped a jon boat on the lake.

The other ring, which is silver, is somewhere in the pool complex at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas NV, most likely the "Backlot River".

No shit. I lost a wedding ring in Las Vegas.

Anyway, if you can find 'em, their yours.

It makes me happy that two people who would want 20 sided dice on their wedding rings found each other.

And then put 20 sided dice on their wedding rings.

My folks couldn't afford a ring when they were married, but they didn't want to wait, so they used a curtain ring for the ceremony. Maybe that would save you some money.
