The groom should buy the engagement and wedding ring for his bride to be and the bride to be should buy the groom's wedding band.
It is thought to be bad luck if the bride and groom see each other on their wedding day before meeting at the altar. Whether true or not it is much more romantic for the groom to see how beautiful his bride to be looks as she comes down the aisle in her wedding dress.
