While wedding planning is quite an extensive (and expensive!) task, many women feel both overwhelmed and excited when it comes to selecting and purchasing their wedding bands. Not only do they want to find a band that will coordinate and work with their engagement ring, but they want to find one for their husband-to-be that will match their own. Interestingly enough, wedding rings weren’t always a sign of eternal love and devotion. In fact,in some past cultures they were a way for the bride’s parents to be ensured about the groom’s wealth or given by the groom in exchange for a dowry. According to the prayer book of Edward VI, after the wedding band was presented, the groom also handed over a bag of coins to the bride while he stated, “This gold and silver I give thee.” Surprisingly, it wasn’t until the 20th Century in America that grooms also began to frequently receive a ring during the marriage ceremony. Luckily for all the women out there who fit the bride-to-be profile, the staff at Van Scoy Diamonds is here to help. Even if your husband-to-be hasn’t proposed yet, we have assembled a short list of matching sets to make your wedding planning a bit simpler. If you and your boyfriend are having serious discussions about getting married and you know the big question is somewhere in your near future, help your man out and leave him hints about the bridal set you want.
