My boyfriend and I decided to get married. I told him I don't want a ring because I don't wear jewelry. Big rings really get in the way at work (nurse) with gloves and frequent handwashing. I just don't care that much about one so to me it's not worth the money.
So today ge asked my parents for their blessing/permission etc. They were excited, but they think it's a surprise for me... But it's not like there is a proposal or anything.
How do I tell my parents were engaged?
Re: How to tell our families? No ring...
[QUOTE]Just tell them. Are you planning on wearing a wedding band? I'm in nursing too and I only wear my band to work.

This. A simple band will not get in the way at all. I'm in dietetics so I have the same problem as PP -- frequent handwashing, gloves, etc so I'll just be wearing my band to work. If you don't usually wear jewelry it ma taking a few weeks to get used to, but after awhile you will get to where you feel weird when you accidentally forget it in the morning. You certainly don't need a ring to be engaged, though -- just tell your parents.
