Congrats Bill and post up some pics of Germany!
Billy and I both got Titanium wedding bands and we love them. Especially Billy b/c he doesn't like jewelry, but since it's so light it doesn't really bother him.
Supposedly they can't be cut off and I was quite worried about that for awhile. I asked one of our ER docs at the hospital and he just laughed at me. Turns out it can be cut off very easily. Most ER's have a diamond saw made to cut off rings. It just has a really big guard. It's always a good idea to remove the ring the second you thik your finger might swell.
