I can see a lot of heart in what you wanted to do. Recently on some website I saw bracket earrings which were just adorable. Perhaps that's the more practical thing to do. If she wants the braces and you're able to afford them down the road, maybe giving her a pair of those earrings would be a really cute way of telling her. As a symbol of commitment, I don't think braces should be thought of as that icon of permanence that you're looking for. Keep in mind that most of us only keep our braces for a year and half to two years. You want your marriage to last longer right? There will be a time when she's 30 years removed from wearing braces, by then so much more will have happened that is more important than the fact that 30 years ago, she had braces. So braces is probably not the thing she'd need to be seeing when looking down on her wedding ring. I completely agree that diamonds are overrated, I'm not itching to get one myself. I prefer a pure and unbroken simple band. In my mind, that's the true symbol. A simple continuous band unfettered by a big diamond (which just symbolizes rock in the way of my otherwise smooth band thus meaning a roadblock in my relationship). Remember, this is just my opinion, all you rock loving ladies out there can lower the heckles, I've nothing against your stones.
I'm glad to hear you got braces. Who knows, maybe she finds them as attractive on you as you had hoped to see on her. Good luck to you!
