What do you think if a man and a woman who are married have different colored wedding rings?

Husband has gold ring and wife as white gold ring (wanted it this way)-how would you know if they are married?
just at a glance, don’t know their names
thanks for sharing

wanted to know
they are very much in love and not afraid to show it-holding hands, kissing, and hugging (normally)
nothing to do with dressing alike, just my parents have matching wedding bands

    that is cute

    you know they’re married cos they have the same last name. what do you want?

  2. Silly Penguin says:

    How would you know any two people are married with any combination of rings…. you don’t know they are exclusive only that there is someone in their life!

  3. Meg says:

    I don’t really like that.. I would want us to match when me and my boyfriend marry :)

  4. Regular Joe says:

    smell them. married couples always smell the same.

  5. Patti says:

    it is their choice and who is to say if they are married if they don’t even wear a ring? a ring doesn’t make a person married. If you want to know ask them, hopefully they will give an honest answer.

  6. ??????????? Rebecca ???????????? says:

    I say the only people that will ever notice is the couple.

    So over~rated all that wedding/matching stuff. Who cares?!?!

  7. chanelxlover says:

    its stupid then when ppl see you together they will think you are having an affair!

  8. Mr. Aucoin says:

    cheatin

  9. y.m says:

    So…. it doesn’t affect there marriage one bit.

  10. ™ILikeShinyThings says:

    Who cares. Worry about the marriage. Trivial things such as wedding rings dont matter and as long as the ring is on the left hand on the ring finger thats how people know others are married.

  11. ali says:

    its up to them what colour rings they want. You would know they were married by them wearing a wedding ring although you wouldn’t know who too but then you don’t always know this anyway! So it don’t really matter if they’re different does it?

  12. Chii-chan says:

    some people just have different colored wedding rings. If the girl is married, there will be a ring with a diamond on it and then there will also be a plain ring with nothing on it that she wears on the same finger. guys just wear a band.

  13. Paola R says:

    If you both wear your rings, it’s obvious you’re both married to anyone who looks.

    When you’re together, hopefully you act like a married couple.

    Unique

  15. Baby C says:

    i think it’s fine all that matters is that your married in the end

  16. valisme says:

    I think it’s no big deal, just personal preferences… There’s lots more important/meaningful ways to prove you’re married. Ring color/style means nothing.

  17. Katie C says:

    my dad has a braided gold ring and my mom’s is i think platinum
    i don’t think it matters that much
    like the person above said, you have the same last name
    you don’t have to be ‘matchy’
    if you like different metals go for it
    maybe match up on style if you want- like simplistic bands or something

  18. sssz says:

    no problem with different colored rings. they don’t have to match! you know they’re married cuz they both have rings on….

  19. Nicole says:

    If you’re happy with it no one elses opinion should count!:)

  20. Nelly says:

    Honestly, I have never even noticed. My husband has black titanium and I have white gold. So I am not sure that it makes a difference.

  21. help!! says:

    I like the idea i think white gold rings are only nice on darker men looks tacky if hes pale and you would know if they were married because they would have the same name or show some kind of affection towards each other (body language).

  22. Harry & Pauline H says:

    A wedding ring is a wedding ring ! Nobody can tell who i am married to and my husband and i both have gold rings. I think its a cute way of saying opposites attract .

  23. Blunt says:

    Only the drapes and the carpet should match.

  24. Samworld says:

    My husband and I chose rings individually. We both prefer yellow gold but his is a wide band with engraved crosses and very small diamond, while my wedding band is just a simple band with small round diamonds inset on it, an eternity band. We didn’t see a need to get a big set because my engagement ring was a surprise and is a solitaire. We both love our rings and I think it represents how we work together but are still individuals. It was a happy accident.

    That shouldn’t be the only thing that says they are married. The way they interact with people and each other should also speak for them.

  25. sxycaramel says:

    It really doesn’t matter. The rings are not the most important thing. They are simply a symbol of the marriage. Its like saying what if you don’t wear your ring one day and your husband does. This means no one can identify that you are married to him? Nonsense.

  26. HIS! says:

    I would think they had different taste in jewelry, and never worry about it. In fact I’d never even think anything about it if you hadn’t brought it up.

    What’s the big deal?

  27. English Rose says:

    I say they should have the rings they each want. I only wear white gold, and my fiance only wears gold. But we wanted matching rings, so we found a pair of two-tone regular gold and white gold rings, so they WILL match. But even then, you get so many brides that have wedding rings drowned in diamonds. Their husbands normally go for a plain ring. There’s nothing to say the rings need to match.

  28. Soon2bMrsM says:

    Has some one just invented a new law that says wedding rings have to match….oh, i didn’t think so!

    I have a yellow gold engagement ring and wedding band and my hubby to be has a white gold wedding band.

    Just because two people get married does not mean they are clones of each other. They still have their own personality and individual tastes. I dont like white gold and hubby to be hates wearing yellow gold.

    Seemed natural to us to get different ones. Ones we both loved, instead of getting rings neither of us would be happy with, seeing as its something your supposed to wear every single day.

  29. SirenSong says:

    It’s their choice so it shouldn’t matter to anyone else. I don’t see anything wrong with having different colored metals.

    If you are talking about random strangers at a glance, it’s fairly easy to tell with some people whether they are married or not by their behavior toward each other and most people don’t look at strangers’ rings to see if they are matching.

  30. tammyj_1971 says:

    My wedding band is platnium with a large aquamarine stone. My husband’s is a silver & black titanium ring. We both have not only a spouse that we will love forever but a ring that each of us will love forever. How do people know we are married? Well, if someone cares enough to ask, I tell them. If I’m being hit on in a bar on girl’s night, I TELL them. Same for my husband. Chances are if you have “matching” rings, one of you doesn’t really LOVE the ring. If a spouse wants to cheat, well that ring isn’t going to stop them. And these days a ring doesn’t seem to stop some people from trying a pick-up anyways. And I have never been in a crowded room and tried to “match up” spouses based on nothing but the wedding bands.

  31. stamper says:

    I would think that they are individuals before husband and wife and they liked something different.

    Matching rings is silly if you ask me. I am not a twin to my husband, I am his wife but still an individual with my own preferences for things and he has his own preferences.

    Most wedding bands and engagement rings don’t come in his and her sets to begin with.

    Besides rings don’t mean someone is married anyway. Some couples choose not to use rings as their symbols, some people can’t wear jewelry period.

    I guess the only real way to find out if someone is married is to ask.

  32. shining_eyes says:

    I’ve never thought rings have to match, they are a symbol for the marriage I wouldn’t think anything of it

  33. Ty-Ty...Mz. Dark Choclate says:

    they just wanted to be different n by the way they act toward each other

  34. TotalRecipeHound says:

    Mine is white gold, his is yellow gold. I think it’s just fine. You’ll find that many posters will tell you that matching rings ARE NOT NECESSARY! I’m glad I listened to those posters and not to some family members. We each got exactly the type of ring we like (our tastes are quite different – i like antique, he likes flashy).

  35. LBB-06/05/09 says:

    not everything has to match

  36. lazeny says:

    I think that it’s a personal preference and that they have different taste in jewelry. It doesn’t make them “less” married, or weird if they have different colored wedding rings.

  37. BadMonkey says:

    That they have different tastes in jewellery. My wedding band is white gold and diamond; fiance’s is tungsten. We don’t dress alike on any other day of the week, why would we want to have identical ring fingers?
