If the girl accepts – well, then you guys are engaged! The wedding band comes before the wedding ceremony. Your fiancé (girlfriend) puts your ring on you. And you put her ring on her. The girl does buy her guy a wedding band. She does not buy her man the engagement ring. The rings do not need to match at all. It’s a nice touch however if you use the same color metal. Guys like Titanium and Tungsten but they might go for WG. The girl should get platinum. Here is a bit more info on metals you may find helpful: http://www.whiteflash.com/diamonds_info/t/articles.aspx?articleid=809 Good Luck! An engagement ring is given during the ‘proposal’.

It is like collateral for the marriage. If you break up you have to return the ring. Same as if you propose to your boyfriend and give him an engagement ring (this practice is becoming more popular). Sometimes an engagement ring if it is a band of gold with writing on it (sometimes called a posy ring) can be used as both a wedding ring and an engagement ring, especially if the person doesn't like to wear two rings. You can find posy rings on the internet. A wedding ring symbolizes the actual marriage itself. That is usually a band of gold, sometimes with diamonds, sometimes not. It solidifies the union itself. Rings do not have to match. It is up to the individual couple on what they prefer. After the marriage if you divorce, both rings are yours forever because you went through with the marriage.
