They're easier to remove than tattoo's.

Not if you take in to account divorce court.

Only if you have a progressive judge, otherwise, you'll lose that too.

A friend of mine bought wedding rings at a total $80 US, about 12 year's ago.
I told him he was an idiot and I wished his marriage would last more than 5 years. He started cheating on his wife after 3 years. I haven't talked to him since.
Is there a correlation between what you put into a wedding ring and a happy marriage? Probably not, but who the hell buys his wife a $40 dollar ring, and what kind of bride says that is Ok?

I'm not even sure the ones I have seen cost $40.
Doing a little google search, I think they might be silicone.

I dunno - aren't there more important things to put into a marriage than an overpriced loop of a good conductor and a lump of squashed carbon?
Maybe that's what the silicon bands are saying ...

So what is the lifetime?
Longer or shorter than the marriage?

Although I think going in to debt to buy a wedding ring is not smart, spending $6 doesn't seem like it is being taken serious enough.

More money for burgers and fries and the ring grows with you. Perfect

I always assumed the silicone ones were proxies for more traditional rings when the traditional ones weren't appropriate to wear for the situation (e.g. doing heavy work, using power tools, etc.).

I guess that could be in some situations. But I see people wearing them to the office and other places that shouldn't be an issue.

I spent 80€ apiece and we were both fine with it - she would have chosen something even cheaper. The 11 years of relationship mattered much, much more. And financially, it has been a lot better spending 3k on the wedding travels rather than a lump of almost gold which gets entangled in the keyboard while typing.

I hear you, but I have never had an issue with my gold wedding band getting entangled in a keyboard....ever, and I am on the keyboard 8-10 hours a day. Must be a lot of gold in those "other" wedding bands.

I have a normal gold band and it really does impede fine movement, in a year and a month I never got used to it - and it has a flat profile too.

It depends on upbringing and culture.
In West EU, expensive rings are commonly frowned upon.
In part because of the bad press associated with the diamond trade (= all diamonds are conflict-diamonds by default)
and in part as a rejection to the American movie ideal of getting on your knees and presenting an expensive ring (= imitating movies is considered a sign of being immature or insincere)
As a result, anything goes as long as it has personal significance.
The majority of people opt for a plain ring or one with fake stones in the $20-$100 range.
Not a lot of people actual wear them in public.

Chuckle - I've been married over 40 years and have never worn a wedding band, I think the wife has it squirrelled away in a draw somewhere.
I hate jewellery and have never worn any in my life, plastic or not!

Well, judging by your picture I'm sure your wife was not worried about some other girl trying to snatch you up.
