I am not married yet ...

This is, as was said in our wedding, our outward sign of our inward commitment to one another. I am PROUD to be my husband's wife and I know he is equally proud to be married to me. For us, it is important to show the world that we are married and that we are proud of that. I love my wedding ring and all it stands for, I will wear it proudly and so will he.

I always find it surprising when people don't wear wedding bands and they are married. I guess its a social statement in this day and age that you are attached to someone. Why wouldn't you wear the band if you are married? But, maybe people feel like the custom of wearing a band does not have meaning to them. If that is that case, then I can understand why they don't.

I've been married for 26 years. I wear a simple golden band. My husband, on the other hand, has never worn a ring. It never even crossed our minds that he would wear a ring.

My husband and I have been married 28 years. My rings were stolen over 5 years ago and my husband's ring doesn't fit his hand anymore, but we are 100% committed to each other. We don't need a symbol to prove our love for each over and we don't see the need to replace the rings.

My husband tattoed a ring on his finger, it is our anniversary date. Not saying it's the most romantic thing but atleast I know he cant hide it lol. He did it on his own terms I didn't even know he was going to do it, oh well it's his body.

My husband and I do wear rings but if he had a profession that made it difficult or dangerous to wear his ring or had some other reason not to wear one it wouldn't bother me. I love my rings, I designed them so I would never consider not wearing them but he doesn't have that connection to his ring other than it shows people that he's married.

I do not feel a ring changes whether you are married or not- yes it is a symbol but when you are in love you are always in each others hearts that is what is most important

My husband and I both have jobs where we can't wear rings that could potentially get caught on machinery or rip thru gloves. It doesn't change our committment to each other or how much we love each other.

My husband wore his ring for the first 13 years of our marriage and then took on a job where company policy prohibited it (safety with chemicals). Anyway, he would wear it on the weekends and if we went out for about 6 months. He gradually quit wearing it after gaining weight and it fitting too snugly. It sits in our safe with my band (also gained weight and it no longer fits). I enjoyed wearing our bands, but don't feel the need to spend money to replace them with a bigger size to fit. We are just as committed with our without jewelry - but do need to work on the weight issue to be around a long time to enjoy each other ;)
