My generous father in law offered a beautiful diamond ring to my fiancé to propose with that he’s been holding onto to for over 40 years that he had originally bought to propose to a woman before my mother in law.
I confessed to my fiancé that I would like to get the wedding band reset before the wedding and my fiancé was SUPER offended. He interpreted it as it wasn’t good enough for me. And I was being a spoiled brat. I wanted something personal and meant just for me. He thinks it’s dumb and petty that I care about a band and we’re not even married. I don’t want to wear a ring that was meant for someone else and it would mean the world if it was personal for me.
Is it a reasonable request to get picky about the wedding band before the wedding?

You are coming at this from different directions. You see the ring as a token of love, a personal thing that you should be involved with, they - father and son - see it as a brand. As in cattle. A token of ownership.
It was a generous offer, and maybe (without imagining the consequences), your response was a little lacking in tact. But still, this says much more about the family you are moving into than it does about you. To call you dumb and petty over this - traditionally a bride's concern - is another warning.
Be careful.
