My husband and I got married a few years ago without doing the ring thing. Neither of us wanted to wear rings ever, as we both hate jewellery on our hands, and to us the meaning of ring wearing is not important in the least.
We love each other, have been together for 15 years and have two beautiful children.
Sometimes I get paranoid and get the impression people might think we don't wear rings because we want to send the message to the world that we are available or that we are not committed enough.
The only message we intended to send to society is that we just don't care about the ring's significance, we care deeply about our relationship.
I have even been called "weird" for doing that by an old acquaintance. Shall we try to comform to society rules?
