Wedding band

My FI gave me a 'promise ring' years ago, after we had been together for six years. Three years later he proposed and when he did I moved my promise ring from my left ring finger to my right, to make room for my engagement ring! I have been wearing the two rings on seperate fingers for the past few months and plan to do so till the wedding, but I am thinking that I want to make my promise ring into my wedding band instead of getting a seperate one.

I love this ring and don't want to stop wearing it, but probably wouldn't wear three rings at a time. It's a super simple silver Tiffanys band with three small inset diamonds. It's similar in color and style to my engagement ring. I would probably have my FI get it engraved with something before the wedding, and maybe have the minister incorporate that I am making my promise ring into my wedding band somehow, just to tie it in.

I really like this plan but my mom isn't thrilled by my idea, but won't give me a solid reason against doing it other than 'but you will wish you had another ring.' Any other thoughts on this?

    If you love it, I don't see why you shouldn't make it into your wedding band. I wouldn't bother having it mentioned during the ceremony, though. When you show people your rings, you can explain the story.

    Moms are funny about the things they get randomly weird about.  Or, maybe it's just my mom?  Or maybe it's just everyone!

    A wedding band is a personal decision.  In fact, it's YOUR decision.  Your mother has no say over your band.  She can like or dislike the idea, but her word is certainly not final.  I think the idea of incorporating your promise ring as your wedding band is a lovely thought.  Why have three rings?

    I love the idea of incorporating your promise ring. It was a step of commitment you two decided to make, you've worn the ring as a symbol for years, and I just love the idea.
