I Don't Want A Ring When/If I Get Married

Post Reply New Topic

What about a nice pin to be worn on the shirt/blouse?

I think the only issue I would have is a wedding ring also serves as a "back off" symbol for people.

Actually that is not entirely true. My husband noticed that when he was wearing the weeding ring women started to flirt with him. That was one of the reasons we stopped using our wedding rings. Females are very competitive, and apparently some find very exciting to steal other women's men. I never found married men attractive, but apparently some other women do.

We ought to be able to tell people to "back off" on our own. We don't need a ring to say it for us.

I think that if your partner loves you and you explain to him your reasons for not wanting to wear a ring. Make it clear that it's nothing to do with him, it's just sensory.

Personally having a wedding ring is just tradition. If it doesn't work for you then make a new one. To me the acknowledgment that two people have made a commitment to each other is more important than jewellery.

My Great-Grandmother, got married during a period of economic depression, she wore an engagement/wedding ring which was a braid piece of string. She wore it until my Great-Grandfather could afford to buy her a real one. I'm pretty sure my Nan has it in an envelope somewhere.

You could try -
*earrings
*bracelet
*necklace/pendant
*artwork
*a photo of the two of you
*a watch
