You all are crazy. if I am expected to give up other men until death, I want the freakin' ring. And no, I will NOT give it up before I die unless my husband divorces me, in which case I will give it to my daughter. I will not subsidize someone else's stinginess. What a bunch of cheapskates! LoL.

You'd really want to give your daughter your ring if your husband divorced you? Isn't that like passing on bad karma or something?

If a person wants to know if I'm faithful... all they have to do is ask... a fancy ring does not show how great the man is... rather it shows how much of a gold digger the woman is. In modern times... it is beginning to reflect poorly on women as we move closer to 'equality' between the sexes.
Seriously.. if the woman gets a fancy ring... why not give the guy something of equal value to show his 'faithfulness'... like an expensive car... or better yet... something that will cost a lot and only increase in value... like a rare collector's item?
The whole tradition is ridiculous... a man has to fetch some metal and a pebble to show how much of a good provider he is? If you don't know this by the time you decide to marry him... you probably shouldn't marry him."The weakest soul, knowing its own weakness, and believing this truth that strength can only be developed by effort and practice, will, thus believing, at once begin to exert itself, and, adding effort to effort, patience to patience, and strength to strength, will never cease to develop, and will at last grow divinely strong."

Had I not wanted physical memories(photos), I would just go straight to the courthouse and get married.

Good for you and your idealism. I wanted the ring because of tradition and symbolism, and I am still married. Besides, it makes a nice heirloom for your daughter. BTW - he got a ring, too, and I didn't care about a big wedding (he did though). Originally Posted by Aeradalia

You mean, you don't sport 5 rings per knuckle, like Mr. T?

Nope. I also rarely wear my wedding band, and never to work. They harbor bacteria.
