We are thinking about selling our old wedding rings (this will be both of our second marrage) and use the money from the sell towards our wedding or the new rings. I wasn't sure if that was in bad taste, or even bad luck. I would love some advice on this topic.
Thanks in advance.
Re: Old rings
I can't speak to the luck factor, but we did just trade both of our old ones for FI's band. I had a horrible time selling mine. Unless yours are really nice and you get lucky, they may not be worth as much as you think they are. Good luck though
I would obviously feel different if my marriage had ended due to death, or I might feel different if there were children involved.
I don't think getting rid of a ring makes it "like it never happened" and I still do have my wedding pictures - in a box, in a far corner of the basement.

I gave mine to my DD. She uses the engagement ring on occasion. I have no idea what she did with the wedding band. That marriage, like some of the previous posters, produced her, so it seemed natural to give them to her.
i say sell 'em and forget about 'em. the marriage is over and you've moved on to better, happier things. enjoy what you have.
