Anyone not bother with a wedding ring?

[Madge9991]

Just seeing if anyone else didn’t bother with wedding rings? We are getting married in a month and still haven’t found ours. My other half is a tradie so won’t be wearing it during the week anyway for safety reasons, and isn’t much of a jewellery man! I’m absolutely in love with my engagement ring and basically hate any wedding rings next to it, as feel they ruin the look of it a lot 🤪 I’m also a very minimalist person so the thought of wearing two rings on one finger is stressing me out, especially as we picked my engagement ring due to its minimalist design. We’ve said about just getting fake ones for the day to exchange maybe. Also the price of gold has bloody shot up, so would end up costing more than my engagement ring now!

No wedding ring here - same as you - don’t like the look..we just didn’t exchange rings on the day - husband wa sin trad too

People comment on my engagement ring all the time. /it’s just a lovely ring - family heirloom

I have just an engagement ring which was used as a wedding ring on the day. My husband doesn’t wear jewellery so doesn’t have a ring at all.
My engagement ring is quite bulky and an odd shape so another ring wouldn’t sit next to it at all easily so this seemed like the best solution.

I've got one but never wear it. DH wears his. Entirely up to the both of you what you want.

I didn't have an engagement ring either (I proposed and wasn't fussed).

I think that it’s really important to wear a wedding ring so everyone knows you’re unavailable in terms of random flirting
I also think it’s a key symbol of your union and lovely reminder of what will hopefully be a nice day and new chapter in your life together
I find it odd when people don’t wear them, and to be honest I assume it’s so they can play the field
if it would annoy you every day the don’t bother, but I like looking at mine and remembering all of the above

We didn't have rings, you can do the ceremony without them. I have a beautiful engagement ring but don't wear that now. Basically, neither of us can be bothered. It's the relationship that matters.

I don’t need a wedding ring for people to know up not up for random flirting!!!

I never wear one, didn’t like my engagement ring so have bare fingers.

I don’t wear a wedding ring. I also don’t play the field or participate in random flirting. It is morals that prevent you doing that, not a metal band.

I agree it’s morals that stop people playing the field if married rather than a metal band on their finger, however two of my close friends have had occasions where they basically had emotional affairs with a work colleague unwittingly because the person didn’t wear a wedding ring or ever mention they were married. My friends would never have dreamed of getting remotely in that situation if they had known, and it wasted their time. One married person clearly DID like the attention before finally admitting they were married a few weeks later
im not saying everyone who doesn’t wear a band is like this, just that it makes it easier for everyone to know straight away I recon.
im happy to disagree on it though, congratulations on your engagement

Haven't worn any rings for years DH never had a wedding ring.

Neither an engagement nor a wedding ring here.

We exchanged rings but DH never wears his, I did mine for a bit but went of the style and then he bought me an eternity ring which I wear instead.

We used a ring for the ceremony, it was my great grandmother’s and was also my “something borrowed” (borrowed from my mum).

I don’t own or wear one. I have an engagement ring, barely wear that. I don’t love wearing rings tbh.

I used my grandma's ring at the ceremony but don't wear it on a day to day basis (not practical). Husband doesn't wear jewellery at all

Wow you sound really narrow minded. I don’t wear one because I have tiny hands and don’t want to wear two rings on one finger. I’m not interested in shagging random people I encounter 🙄

Look, it’s fine if you need a —chastity belt— wedding ring to remind you not to accidentally trip onto Nigel from Accounts’ genitals, but give the rest of us some credit for managing not to do so, despite our lack of jewellery.

I have a wishbone style wedding ring, that allows my engagement ring to sit nicely together. However, on a daily basis I rarely wear them, not because I dislike them etc but for practical reasons. I always wear them on a night out and weekends though. My husband doesn't have a wedding ring, he dislikes jewellery, and would never wear it, even if he'd had one. He only wears a watch. My Dad never had a wedding ring either, as he was an engineer, and it wasn't practical to wear. I think it's personal choice, not everyone likes jewellery, or is bothered.

I have one but never wear it tbh . I found it made my fingers sore .

We got married in Germany, we went for the non ring ceremony, rings are not compulsory. I also said I didn't want an engagement ring, too worried I'd lose it.

I have a platinum ring (bought with Tesco vouchers 😂). My DH’s cost less than a fiver from Argos as he hates wearing any jewellery so it was just for the day. I don’t have an engagement ring.

I'm the opposite, skipped an engagement ring and just got a wedding ring

What a shallow opinion. A piece of jewellery doesn’t indicate a happy or secure marriage

You can’t be serious? 😂
