My husband's original wedding ring (that HE picked out) fell apart on him. I purchased this one as a replacement ring.  We were married after opening ceremonies at a Scottish festival where he was competing in the games, and this ring embodies many things that we are sentimental about.  The wide band has a masculine look that compliments the delicate pattern found in the ring.  I worry about it's durability over time, as it is silver and therefore potientially mallebale.  He has to take the ring off if he's doing any heavy lifting.  He definately has to take it off for any Scottish gaming!  He is very happy with the ring (unless he's just being nice to me).  I love the way it looks on him, and how it reminds me so strongly of our wedding day.
