Whenever I think of “joining two lives as one,” of course I think of a loner like the cheeriest of cheeries, the Batman. This custom­-made wedding band, which comes in gold or sterling silver, says to your husband or wife, “I’ll never treat you like a sidekick, but I might have anger-management issues and need alone time in my man­ or woman­-cave.” The ring can be forged with stones of your choosing, such as black diamonds– diamonds as black as your partner’s world before meeting you. When wearing your Batman wedding band, it’ll help remind you to leave the past in the past, so you can stop worrying about those folks you indirectly killed by letting a Shriner’s clown reject live another day.

Do you want to show your fiancée that your love is invincible, but you’re working with a reporter’s salary? Then look no further than the His and Hers Superman Concave Wedding Bands. The rings are made of tungsten carbide, giving a simple, elegant look, just like the first superhero himself. The symbol for the House of El is etched across the rings, acting as a symbol of hope that your love won’t go the way of Krypton and explode in everyone’s faces. As the metal fits snugly around your ring fingers like Doomsday’s hands around Clark Kent’s throat, your Superman wedding bands will serve as a reminder that “til death do us part” could be much worse.

With Captain America: The Winter Soldier in theaters now, why not show your patriotism, love of comic books, and, oh yeah, devotion to your spouse with this Captain America silver pipe cut wedding ring? Just like Captain America himself, the ring is understated, bearing only a lasercut emblem of Cap’s shield in the ring’s center. The ring will let your best guy or favorite dame know that while he or she holds your love, you’ll dump them when duty to country calls, so suck it up, babe. I mean, really, you knew what you were signing up for. If Ultron starts laying waste to a small agrarian country for shits and giggles, I can’t stick around because we have dinner plans with the Davidsons. God in Heaven, don’t start the water works. Sigh. I didn’t mean it. I didn’t. I was tired and Iron Man made fun of my suit again and the new costume is sticking to my giggleberries. Don’t cry. Screw that country! What time are we heading to the Davidsons’ house?
