Juuuuusstt kidding
Any good fights yet? The biggest is always in the 1st year they say.
My wife almost divorced me for leaving the house without my wedding band on. I have two bands, I where one jogging and when working on cars. I went out with her mom wearing "the wrong ring"

Oh we've already had some good fights, like when I took off during hurricane sandy for a business trip, that one went over well :p Or the classic: out at a buddy's shop till 2am and forgetting the cell phone
I made the bands from Ti90Al6V4 ("aircraft titanium") so no problems forgetting them...

you made them yourself? pretty awesome, post a pic of this! Right now going through the process of getting some wedding bands. Actually both the fiance and I are interested in some stainless steel bands or even a spinner wedding band, as its just like a bearing, and I love the concept.
Can't believe how reasonable non gold wedding bands are

Yeah, I think the bar was around $130 shipping (minimum 12" order). Mine *was* mirror polished but I bang it on stuff all the time. Her ring has a brushed 600# finish because she bangs it on stuff and doesn't want the scratches to show up.
Find a school or lax shop down there and make your own, but take my advice and get Ti99 it will be much easier to work with and still stronger than gold. If you're going for bearings that's trickier, SS and Ti like to gall
Here's a pic in the shop & at the wedding:

I bought it online over 10 years ago which was unheard of then. Even back then, titanium rings were not as popular, but today they are so popular you can order a simple band for $45 online.
Not sure how Stainless steel holds up, but I say if you need to get that replacement and plan to not loose it, titanium is the way to go!

10-02-2013, 01:55 PM #26I'm a so glad that I have a titanium wedding band. My wife and I got matching Stirling Sliver 10 year anniversary rings for the other hand and I almost cut off my finger (little exaggeration) from it being deformed from just the daily abuse I give it. I have now only wear that ring once in a while. The titanium ring has not deform ever and at the same time, my wife's platinum wedding band is also kind beat up.

My concern was an emergency medical kit ring cutter may not be able to cut a titanium ring in a situation where the ring has to come off the finger and can't slide off (like if I broke or smashed it completely)

I went with a $7.99 Overstock.com SS ring. It's scratched, has surface dents all over it. But the most important thing, that it's remained on my finger, hasn't failed me yet.

11-24-2013, 01:10 AM #30I use a small uick release carabiner for a keyring (works really well for the nice large hole M-B keys)...anyway, I always throw my ring on that thing when working with machinery of any sort and usually working on my cars as well...helps keep my disposable gloves last a little longer as well...even the 14mil latex ones can tear pretty easy with a ring inside...
