A getting married question.....

[galain]

A general question for those who are married, have been married, have thought about it or have some knowledge of it.

What does a bride give a groom if the groom doesn't want to wear a ring? And can't stand watches or timepieces in general. AND has no intention of getting a tattoo ring on his finger?

A new racquet would be happily received but not probably not the most appropriate thing for the walk up the aisle with! Any ideas most gratefully received.

 

[origmarm]

If you don't want to wear a ring on your finger, I've seen guys with watches but as that is out, a guy I know wears a ring around a chain on his neck

 

[Duzza]

I don't think I could stand wearing a ring all the time either...This isn't just for the ceremony, but for life after as well yes? I know my dad doesn't wear anything...

 

[galain]

A ***** slap?

Ha! Nothing to do with committment or lack thereof. I actually tried rings on and each and every jeweller I went to said "Well - you don't HAVE to wear a ring you know...". My girl would rather I didn't wear one - they just looked ridiculous on my fingers. A ring on a chain I'd be more than happy with but the wife to be is also against men wearing chains.......

I'm just joking, I actually feel the same way, though I would probably try to find something simple that would not bother me, since it seems that it's really important to my girl (at least I'll give it a shot...).

Never been married and will not be for quite some time, but if I was I would wear the ring on a chain around my neck.

What's so bad about that?

1. its really, really hot
2. it screws up people's schedules

we have a friend that had a summer weekend wedding. looking back she said that she could not believe how inconvenient and inconsiderate that was. it was hot and humid, and she would have changed that if she could go back.

in regards to the OP, you could have the diamond set into her skin. i heard about that on the radio.

whatever you do, you want to get her something that will last.

Hmm.....wearing a ring...probably the easiest "sacrifice" you'll have to make in your marriage. If you can't do that....oh boy, are you in trouble....just don't get married! Then you won't have to do anything you don't want to.

 

[GRANITECHIEF]

I got married last august and i had never worn a ring in my life before that. I thought i would hate it and it would annoy me.

I was wrong. I got a titanium band and its so light that i barely know its there. Now I'm totally used to it and i like having it on. Its cool to fiddle with and knock on stuff.

 

[forzainter]

my dad doesnt wear a ring because it would mess with his golf swing or something, i dont think he got anything else

I looked those up, they are very interesting. Is your just ti, or does it have a gold inlay?

 

[chroix]

Wear a ring. You get over i quick. I had never worn any jewelry other than the occasional watch. After a month I felt weird when I didn't have it on.

Her sister.

Her sister.

You know, some people might be having water or juice or drinking whatever while reading thru the posts in front of the screen, I think you should be more considerate sometimes...

No gold, silver colored Ti only. Two groves pattern.

 

[LuckyR]

Her sister.

Only if she doesn't like her sister...

[JRstriker12]

I got married 3 years ago. I wear my ring (platinum - a simple band with two grooves) and feel weird without it. I've even worn it when I work out (forget to take it off), but it scratches the hell out of the finish.

Anyway, I can't see refusing to wear a ring as it has a lot of symbolism referring to your commitment to the marriage. No watch or necklace (or tennis racket) has the same public significance in publicly declaring "I am married."

I find a lot of guys who skip the ring (golf swing excuse....whatever...take it off...put it back on) seem to like to use that excuse to stay on the prowl when wifey isn't looking.

Funny, you don't see a lot of women complaining about wearing two rings.

 

[galain]

Her sister.

You Sir, have just ruined my week with that imagery.....

This has nothing at all to do with my committment. I was happy to have a ring. After 30 odd years in the martial arts I have knuckles that are somewhat "different" and any ring I tried on was met with dead silence or horrified expressions from my girl and/or the jewellers. Seriously - even the jewellers were saying I probably should think about something else.

To the poster who asked if i'd expect my girl to wear one - no mate - I don't expect her to do anything she doesn't want to do.

 

[Feña14]

..I know my dad doesn't wear anything...

Words of wisdom, there, mate... ^^

So... you don't want to put a ring on your finger, huh...

 

[Solat]

i wear my ring, take it off when i do manual labour coz it gets scratched so easily, you do miss it when its off tho.

 

[Fedace]

What is the best way to get a bride to be to sleep with you few days before the wedding ? i heard that all bride to be try to have a last fling before they get married?

 

[galain]

Deuce you're a genius!

we have a friend that had a summer weekend wedding. looking back she said that she could not believe how inconvenient and inconsiderate that was. it was hot and humid, and she would have changed that if she could go back.

A little concerned by this now as just booked a wedding in for next July ..
That said most of us my folks live in the UK and the wedding is in NJ so I guess they will take a week and use it to visit NY etc.
How hot does it get in NJ over the summer, I was thinking max low 30s in C...

Something tells me that I really want to see these pics...for some reason doesn't work for me

 

[Steve Huff]

I've been married 27 years. I don't wear a ring. I have one, and if I'd have thought about it, I'd wear it around my neck on a chain. I may now that I've heard the suggestion. I'm an RN, and several studies have shown that jewelry is one of the best houses for bacteria. Plus, my fingers are no where near the size they were when we were married.

Never been in NJ in the summer time but I've been in the city and it hot as
HE11!!! I mean heck. ;-)

I only wore a watch before getting married. I have a simple platinum band. I have a friend that has this oversized engagment ring looking thing, it looks ridiculous.

and I too gained some weight after marriage and couldn't wear the ring for long enough that the ring farmers tan even went away. Now that I've lost almost all the weight and can wear the ring again, Wifey started making little comments to let me know she wants me to wear it I still take it off if I'm working out at the gym or playing tennis.

 

[Discovery660]

I didn't want to wear a ring either. Yanno what, you are giving yourself to this person forever. Wearing a ring isn't the end of the world. I was never a fan of jewelry, never wore it ever. For the first 6 months wearing a ring drove me nuts. Now I am use to it, and would never go w/o it. Show the new wife some respect.

 

[Kaptain Karl]

what do you think wearing a ring symoblise?

This is a good question. What's the meaning for you and your Bride...?

Show the new wife some respect.

I didn't get the sense it's a "respect" issue at all. I think it is between you and your Bride.



(My dad never wore his ring. One brother and I do ... always. One brother is a Chef; his ring would be an occupational hazard, so he doesn't wear his.)

Talk it over with your Bride. Examine the alternatives. Make a joint decision.

My girlfriend and I wear rings and there's nothing wrong with it. It proves hw much we love each other and are willing to devote out life to each other. It's another way of expressing your love without words. I agree, you should love your wife and show her you mean it.

 

[beernutz]

Just wear a ring, you'll get used to it eventually. I hate wearing jewelry but I've worn my ring for almost 19 years and maybe taken it off once during that time.

 

[neo]

If your future wife is fine with you not wearing the ring, then what's the problem? Just wear it for the ceremony, then never put it on again.
