So I'm always curious about what other same-sex couples do in regaurds to "traditional" things. Although DP and I can't legally be married, it would still be nice to go through the process and have the visible recongintion that other couples have. So because I'm nosey and I enjoy this sort of thing, if you don't mind will y'all post pictures of your wedding/engagement/commitment rings. I don't have one yet, so I have nothing to share, lol. But if theres a reason why you chose the rings you chose, share that too please!

We chose plain wedding bands because neither one of us is into wearing jewelry. In fact, I don't even have my ears pierced, so wearing any piece of jewelry was an adjustment for me at first. Now, I never take it off. I love it.
Edit: I should mention that we are not legally married because we live in PA, and we have also not had any sort of commitment ceremony. We do plan on having a small ceremony when it is legal (which we anticipate to be sometime in our lifetime!).

We plan to have some kind of ceremony on our 10 year anniversary and have simple silver wedding rings with all our kids' names engraved on them.

DP proposed to me on Christmas Day 2008. She gave me a round set engagment ring that has several smaller diamonds and then four on each side. I like that it's not just one big diamond and doesn't stick out very high. It has a vintage feel to it. Very much my style. And I got a curved wedding band to match. DP has a traditonal band in a channel set and the diamonds are square. Here are some pics below! I had to include our Save the Date though! I absolutely loved them!!
We are hoping Alabama comes to it's senses soon, but we do plan on having a commitment ceremony in a few years. We just cant wait to see Harper all dressed up for our ceremony.
I don't have any pictures at the moment, the pictures we did have were on our laptop that I recently broke (due to my short temper : (
She gave me the ring of my dreams...which wasn't super expensive...just exactly what I wanted. It's a tension set diamond ring with a titanium band. LOVE it and I get compliments all the time. Here's what it looks like: http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/2/0/0/c9/f/AAAAAmyPCj8AAAAAAMn5Fg.png?v=1202317613000

But Jane has two rings - her original engagement ring, and a plain white gold band. She's a nursing student, and needed something safe to wear under gloves, and around magnetic hospital equipment (there went the meteorite rings we were thinking of!). But she LOVES her band, and when she's not in the hospital working, she'll wear both rings together.
My ring is the white gold band with the row of little diamonds set inside. It was my engagement ring (which we bought about a year after I proposed to her - we were going to college and there wasn't much to spare), and it was also a perfect wedding ring. I didn't want or need another - though people kept asking me! Why change when you have the perfect ring already?
Of course, I can't wear mine right now either. Fingers are all pudgy from being so pregnant! What a great problem to have!
But here are some pictures from the wedding:

Weddings are a deep-rooted element of our society, and Indian brides are known as symbols of beauty, pride and elegance. India is a vast country with different customs and traditions practiced even within the same state. Yet, there is something that unites us all - the "muhrat" or the auspicious time for celebration. At Kalyan Jewellers, we embrace the importance of every "Muhurat". Our wedding collections are for every bride, from every part of India.
