Getting married is a lot easier than it used to be. Thanks to online shopping sites and digital wedding planners, future brides and grooms can research anything before they buy it. This may include everything from the wedding gown to the flowers, honeymoon destinations, photographers – wedding rings.

If you’re one of those people who lag behind the rest of the crowd when it comes to technology, it’s possible you are just now discovering the convenience of shopping online. At first there were some legitimate security concerns about entering credit card information on the Internet, but when you think about it, the security used on most web sites is more secure than what’s used at the register in your favorite store. Brick-and-mortar stores enter your credit card into their system without much encryption, but online retailers take extra steps to ensure your security.

If you’ve been watching the news lately, you may be a little nervous about making any major purchases. With the recent downgrade in America’s credit rating, it looks like the economy will be shaky for a while, which means that now is not the best time to buy expensive items on a credit card. In response to growing concern over the economy, many engaged couples have asked me how they can find the best men’s ring for their money. What I tell them may surprise you.

If you’re a history buff like me and you love to study the origins of popular culture, then you may find yourself pondering every little thing we do. For example, why do we drive on the right side of the road, and why does Thanksgiving have to be on a Thursday? Why do we wear a wedding ring on the left ring finger? Not long ago, the answers to these questions might have remained a mystery indefinitely, but thanks to the Internet it’s now possible to find answers to these questions and many more. You may end up a storehouse of useless “trivia”, but you never know when someone might ask you to explain the evolution of wedding bands for men.
