Engraving wedding rings?

fancywright2

Is anyone planning to do this? I'm on the fence right now, but I think I'm leaning towards doing it.

I wanted to but he has no intentions of wearing a ring. So I'm saving my money.

question: why do they not plan on wearing a ring? I know some people look at it for symbolic reasons and of course obvious reasons...Mine has no choice!

Case.. AGREE... a man not wanting to wear a ring with no explanation.. no bueno... Definitely a discussion needs to be had!!

I think alot of it has to do with being him being all macho and trying to prove a point that although hes married theres no need to broadcast it but i do know for sure as long as there is breath in my lungs he will put that ring on or hes going to be tasting my shoes LOL

This right here... to me has to do with maturity... AND.. when a man is proud to say he is MARRIED.. he will wear that ring PROUDLY.. because it shows commitment to something GREAT..  imo

Mari, you so right. But I'm one for if the two have an agreement, I have no right to comment. So if you are cool with him not wearing one, thats ok. 

I am planning to engrave our little saying to each other in his. I think my greatgrandmother already has something engraved in hers, so I dont wnat to alter it more than what I already have.

Agreement... what type of agreement would there be?? religious reasons.. I understand.. but what other agreement would there be?

we're married... but we aren't wearing wedding bands that signify our union? maybe I just haven't thought about other reasoning.. can't wear it at work.. ok.. got it.. But just because I dont want to 'flaunt" that I am married... I dont understand... But in saying that... It isn't my relationship and it doesnt matter what I or others think...

It all comes down to IF YOU BOTH ARE HAPPY... then that is all that matters.. Nobody else matters... <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" border="0" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" />

To me it really doesnt matter IMO and i say that only because when you are in a commited relationship prior to getting married no one has any rings that says you have a GF or BF or anything of that nature and even in being engaged hes not wearing any ring to say hes engaged...and im in a learning process im my relationship to pick and choose my battles with him so thats one that im just like whatever its sooo much more i knw down the line of this wedding planning that we are gonna have some disputes about and thats not one im in the mood to get mad about....

[Deleted User]

and T you really shouldn't have to feel any way except how you feel about it.  whatever ya'lls understanding is, it is.   I can also see why the other ladies are so passionate.  one more whisperholler then imma build my bridge.  being a boyfriend or fiance doesn't represent a committment that you pledge to make forever.  marriage is really looked upon differently in that regard so I guess the thing that symbolizes that permanence is looked at it seriously too.   I don't think that added one thing to the discussion I just wanna say whatever you all feel is the right thing for you, I just get why it produces a strong reaction. 

nursing2u

Agreed... Sorry I got a lil carried away... some things bring out the passion...

As long as you two have an understanding and are happy... That's ALL THAT MATTERS... all love!!!

I have no problem with him not wearing one. I did buy a ring to exchange when we get married but he's not gonna wear it daily.

Me and FI are getting our rings engraved. We are surprising each other with what they will say for the wedding day when we exchange rings. I have to depart with my ring for about a week out from my wedding until its done. :
