HI., We almost got a white gold one-but come on-now with gold prices a men's ring in white gold with NO DIAMONDS was 499 and 599(the style he liked).

 

So we got a tungsten one. Its brushed looking with the edges smooth-it was around 170. Its awesome b/c my FI's "style" is not shiny and bright-and this one was a darker grey color-not as shiny as the gold. Its really nice looking on him!

 

I wonder if I should have bought one cheaper online or something?? Hmmmm...

 

Good luck shopping :)

No kidding! We origionally bought FI a white gold one... it was 600 + tax + the extended gold coverage, so just over 700 dollars.

We returned it, and bought him a ring that looks exactly the same, only in titanium, for $15! Including shipping!

i'd def. go w/ titanium or tungsten. i don't think either scratches. gold and platinum should be out - they'll get scratched too easily.
from what I've read I think its a myth too.

I read that tungsten & titanium are probably safer if someone's finger got crushed. Gold & platinum would bend & tungsten & titanium would stay in shape which would be safer for the finger.

And ERs can cut them off.

Some of the stuff I read was that jewelers probably tell people that because there is less money to be made off tungsten & titanium. Mike's ring came from the same website abbie posted. It's gorgeous & only cost $8.75. I'm sure the jewelry stores don't like that there is such an affordable option.

Also keep in mind that if you do something like titanium it cant be cut off his finger (in case something bad happens) with the Tungsten, the ring can be shattered if they have to get it off.

FI and I just ordered 2 wedding bands for him. We were looking on the tungstenworld site. Then I turned over the laptop to FI, aka Frugal Dave. He looked up tungsten rings on slickdeals.net and was directed to amazon.com. We got him 2 tungsten rings (one which looked exactly like the $149.99 one we were about to order) for $29.99 each.

And now he has 2 to choose from or a spare for when he loses one.

I will let you know how they are (and post pics) when they arrive.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
