This is how my husband and I thought about it too. Plus, my Mom never had an engagement ring (it was furniture or a ring? for them and Mom was too practical to not see the obvious choice) so I didn't grow up coveting her big sparkler or anything. My husband had already given me some gorgeous diamond earrings for a Valentine's day gift, that's enough diamond for me. He bought me a very meaningful ring (for us) when we got engaged and then we picked out equally meaningful bands. I do not get some women's obsession with engagement rings and assigning so much meaning and spending so much money on an accessory. The wedding band is your bond. But that's just me.
