For someone who prefers minimalism or just doesn\u2019t like wearing jewelry, an all-in-one ring may be a better fit.<\/p>\n<p>Since a wedding band is traditionally exchanged during the ceremony, there\u2019s no urgency to determine the want or need for one right away. As the engagement ring is often a surprise, picking out the wedding bands together as a newly engaged couple can be a fun bonding activity.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;28px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h2>How Much to Spend on an Engagement Ring<\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Remember that old rule about spending three months worth of salary on an engagement ring?
