Ring Inscriptions

PJSPJS

We had our wedding ring inscriptions picked out until the jeweler told us about leaving space for the date. Now we need to either not include the date or include the date and pick a different, shorter inscription. To me, it's more important to have the inscriptions we want than to have the date. Is your wedding date part of your ring inscription?

We didn't do any inscriptions.  What you choose to inscribe is up to you -- date or no date, whatever means the most to you.   I don't think the date is "mandatory."

We're not having our rings inscribed.

My parents do have the date in theirs, and they joke that it helps them remember their anniversary.  That's really the most thought I've given to the matter.  If it's not important to you, you don't need to do it.

I guess unless you're afraid of forgetting your anniversary.

We didn't do inscriptions, but I would think the saying would be more important than the date.  Hopefully you always remember the date.

we chose each other's and they were a surprise.
him to me:  "love, John"
Me to him: "God's love and my heart"

I'd go for the words, rather than the date, but that's me. I have a student who, whenever he talks about his wedding, takes off his ring and looks at the date inside. At this point *I* remember that he got married on January 27... why can't he?! :-P

I worked at a jewlery store for 2 years. I sold thousands of wedding rings in that time and never once saw anyone get a wedding date engraved. So unless it's a new trend I don't think it's that common of a thing.
I know a personal message would mean more to me than a date.
