hmmmm might need to show DH this thread

I was always lead to believe it was on the first wedding anniversary or the birth of the first child......... yep still waiting

Yes I have one. It's supposed to be first anniversary or first baby, whichever comes first. It came about like this as traditionally when a couple got married, they started TTC on the wedding night.
Mine is 18k gold with diamonds half way round it set in white gold.

I went and picked out and put a deposit on mine when we had been married only 7mths and told DH where to pick up in time for our 1st wedding Anniversary

A friend is still waiting married and first child 10 nearly 11!!! I told her DH has to go in cost with interest for every year late!!!

Have one, got it for our 6th wedding anniversary which coincided with birth of 1st child. He had it on hold for the 5th anniversary but I miscarried a month before and he didnt think I would want it then, thought I might think he was trying to 'take my mind off it'.

Eternity rings are traditionally given after ten years of marriage.
My nana has one
My mum got one
And I will, in 7 more years.....

Mine was ordered on our first anniversary, and I actually received it not long after.

We're having an additional stone put in for the little miss, and then maybe other stones for other events down the track.

18 years and still waiting here ROFL. Holding my breath for 20 years . DH knows I want something *really* sumptuous with diamonds the same colour our wedding champagne was.

I have an eternity ring I received for our 1st wedding anniversary. I wear it in front of my engagement and wedding rings.

When I fell pg with my first child I told DH he had to buy me a 'maternity' ring. You know, like an eternity ring only a woman gets it when she falls pg?? He fell for it and I wear my 'maternity' ring on my right hand. The blokes at work gave him hell for it! I also received a beautiful necklace when my first DD was born. For the other two bubba's.... NOTHIN'!!!

This was a big joke between DH and I in our first year of marriage. We got pg within the first 6wks of getting pg and I always told him he had to get me an eternity ring - which is usually given at the end of the first year of marriage but when I got pg it turned into a Maternity Ring LOL. DS was born 6 weeks before our first anniversary, but I got the ring by the time our anniversary rolled around and we were on holidays. It was a sapphire and diamond setting.

I'm still waiting. We've been married for 5 years. We decided I will get one when we renew our vows on our 10th anniversary.
