A plain gold band is the only choice for a wedding ring. Anything else looks tacky and garish. Platinum is cold and dead, titanium is ridiculous, any ring with stones in it doesn't look like a wedding ring, which should be plain, and rings made of semi-precious stone are too fragile to last, in addition to looking tacky and cheap. Go with gold, and don't go too thick either. Don't get the gold ornamented or engraved -- the ring has to be plain. Think Lord of the Rings, the ring of power. That's the archtypical wedding ring. Do you think some Orc said to Sauron, "Lovely, Sire, but wouldn't it look better with a few rubies on the top." No, go plain.
