The Ranty Bride on Wedding Rings - Buy Them Cheap. For Reals.

HELLO THERE:

Welcome to Kiss My Tulle, where the weddings are big but the budgets are small. I'm Cris Stone and I live in San Antonio, Texas (by way of Salcha, Alaska) with my new husband (The Boy), our puppy (Hank), and our cat (Caira).

I'm excited to share my ideas on creating the wedding of your dreams on an affordable budget.

The Ranty Bride on Wedding Rings - Buy Them Cheap. For Reals.

This is short so it gets right to the good stuff. AHEM.

BUY YOUR RINGS ON AMAZON.

My husband did it (twice...*). *perhaps he would have been a bit more careful had it cost more than $20, but we will never know.

I did it.

Mine is no longer available, but it was $600.* Similar bands we priced were in the $1500+ range.

*Here's a similiar one for $499.99!

As for his? A friend of ours was comparing his wedding band, which was pretty much exactly alike, and nearly choked on his drink when the husband said his version cost $30. Our friend's was $800 (I KID YOU NOT).

And, honestly, Amazon has such good customer service that, if you look at reviews and find a reputable vendor, it's worth a shot. They have not compensated me for this recommendation* - I am just one happy customer. My UPS guy can attest to that.

*Though Kiss My Tulle is an affiliate of Amazon.

hmmm... I will have to check out amazon. I already bought my wedding band and love it but my fiance doesn't want anything that cost a fortune and I'm sure it will probably get ruined a million times at softball!

Danielle, We were looking at getting The Boy a ring off Amazon (before we ended up DIYing one: http://su.pr/350JvF) because he's a high-voltage electrician and can't wear one anyway - so why spend money on it, right?

If nothing else, it's good for a cheap one to wear while traveling or whatnot.

I just ordered both of ours on Etsy (hers in sterling silver plated in gold with a small diamond and mine in 14K white with a row of diamonds) and they cost less than $300...combined. I know, right?! My engagement ring is also from Etsy and it was $500 for a huge aquamarine with a diamond halo (also white gold) so I'd definitely say give Etsy a shot, too.
