Dh always wears his. I only wear mine when I go out - if I remember. Even though I love jewellery I find wearing a ring a bit irritating. We had new palladium wedding rings made for our last anniversary, which are really nice, so I am tending to remember to wear mine more often atm

My SIL keeps telling me SHE NEVER TAKES HER WEDDING RING OFF.

As if her marriage will end the second that gold comes off her finger. I take mine off once a week or so--just to check that I still can. If it's tight I know I need to watch what I eat.

I don't like any kind of jewellery on me.

No, partly because I developed a gold allergy some years ago, but also because youa re either married in your heart- in which case you won't play around- or you're not. A weddingr ing won't change that.

Dh wears his all the time.

I haven't worn my rings for about 8 years - just don't like the feeling! DH hasn't ever taken his off since we got married.

ahhh my comment about never taking them off was not some point that makes us more married - probably more that I can't be bothered taking it on and off so just leave them on.

DH and I both wear our rings all the time.

Both DH and I do.

I like wearing my ring. I like what it stands for. And I have an engagement ring too which I also like to wear.

we both do.i wear my engagment ring as well,i havent taken them off atall since we got married.i dont think dh has either,though his engagement ring snapped(argos crap).

We both do.

I like it, he likes his. It is an outward sgn of our commitment to each other.

We both do, although dh used to take his off when at sea sometimes for safety reasons.

He wears one as otherwise I was going to have married tattooed on him in an extendable and retractable place.

I have to wear it or else I'd loose it.
I'm rubbish with remembering where I keep things - I haven't told DH, but I can't find engagement ring ATM. Its here somewhere!

Neither of us do, but then we got married in secret. Lots of people assumed we were married before we even were.

The only time I've noticed people checking is when I've been pregnant, and lots of pg women have to take their rings off anyway. I don't really care what anyone assumes about us being married or not married on the basis of what they see.

I never take it off. No one actually notices! I took mine off from my first marriage when I was a widow so that people wouldn't keep assuming that I had a DH and it didn't make any difference whatsoever.

DH does (although not the original because his fingers have got fatter).

I've had at least 4 but pregnancy and age changed the shape of my fingers. I loved my original platinum ring but none of the cheap replacements have been as comfortable.

DH wears his religiously. I wear a ring, just not my original wedding ring. I tell everyone it's because I no longer like yellow gold so I replaced it with white gold, which is true to a certain extent. Real reason is because I'm now such a lardarse that it doesn't fit me anymore! Have to get my arse into gear and either lose weight or get the ring made bigger...

It's an outward way of showing the world you are smugly and happily married.

And of telling potential chatuppers to fark orf.

ouch
jsut realised i can't get mine off.
better not have a big row until it's cooler

Both DH and I do wear ours (we just got married). As I'm German I wear mine on the right, DH had an accident on the left and wears his on the right, too.

People always ask me: where's your ring?

I love wearing it, I'm so proud of my DH, so happy we tied the knot, ahhh....[dreamy sigh]

He was a bit reserved in the beginning, but is loving it now.

It's an outward sign of the bond between the couple. Others should stear clear and move to chat up someone else without a ring. I noticed guys checking my hand and backing off...could also be the 23 week tummy

lol scaryteacher

I wear one - a plain gold band. Love it. I have always been a ring person, but gave up the chunky jewellery for safety reasons when changing nappies...

Would wear an engagement ring too if DH had given me one (sniff!)

DH doesn't even wear a watch, so no ring there - but you only have to look at his impeccably un-ironed clothes to know he's happily married

We both wear wedding rings. The thought that DH wouldn?t never entered my mind. Both our fathers wear wedding rings.

I don?t always wear my engagement ring though. We both take our rings off at bed time. I still love seeming them together on the bathroom shelf??..

I wouldn?t feel any less married without it or be concerned if DH went out without his.

Dh and I don't bother. Dh is Pakistani and not his culture to wear one. I sometimes wear mine but I usually forget where I've put it and don't bother.

DH and I both do - also lots of family history tied up in bith rings - mine was my Grandmothers and is a really heavy plain band. DH's is his mum's wedding ring - DH's dad died when he was quite young, his Mum remarried, and offered DH the ring his Dad gave her. I like the continuation, and I like being married to my DH
