We had white gold rings when I was married, and yes, it was largely because of the Chronicles. Then we got divorced.

I've been married eight years and have yet to buy a wedding ring. I gave my wife an inexpensive...er, I mean cool, antique engagement ring. Two months later we dropped the traditional marriage plans and decided to get married in Vegas. Since then we've just been looking for that right set of rings. Which will definitely be white gold or platinum.

I always fancied a white gold ring and was overjoyed when the missus suggested we get white gold rings for our wedding - I didn't tell her why I was so pleased! I don't think she would really understand the whole concept of the Arch of Time.....

I had a white gold ring when I was married and, should it happen again, I will do so again.

Getting married within a couple of months, and yes, white gold rings are on the agenda, for all the right reasons.

I have a white gold wedding ring, however, I think it depends on your taste. I have a few white gold chains too. Platinum is nice though too :)

I was away from the site for a while so I am playing catch up, I just seen what Aliantha wrote. I just quit smoking so I decided to wack myself in the head with my fist. Great nicotene deterrent! LOL

My wedding ring from my first marriage is white gold. I insisted on it due to the TC books, which my first wife didn't want to read or understand my fascination with. This is but one of the reasons I have a second wife. ;)

I still have the ring, it's in a box in my desk. It's the only thing from my first marriage I have any attachment to, but only because it's white gold and the symbolism is still strong in connection to Covenant and the Land, to me at least.

My (now) wife isn't a TC fan, but she is reading Mirror of Her Dreams at the moment, so there is hope. ;) She likes SRD as a person, so that's something. 8)

Definitely. I had yellow gold rings in the 90s, although I would have preferred white. I didn't have much choice because they were sprung on me during an anniversary dinner. But although gold wasn't my color, I wore it proudly, every day until my s.o. passed away 7.5 yrs ago, and probably for 6 or more months after that. Now, sometime in the very near future, white gold will adorn my finger - as I've always wanted it to be.

25 years after reading TCTC for the first time, I just presented my Bride-to-be with a white gold engagement ring last Saturday. Coincidentally, she preferred white gold, despite never having read SRD (which I plan to remedy). :lol:
