My husbands father got killed in a tragic accident about 5 years ago. They had to cut off his wedding band and it was given to my husband. It sits in our china cabinet, chopped up and never looked at.
Our 10 year anniversary is coming up and I was thinking about having the ring repaired and give it to my husband to wear in place of his.
Is this a good idea?
He was very close to his father and I thought that this would make him feel even closer, by wearing his ring.
He isn’t a materialistic person, nor am I, our marriage isn’t bonded by a gold band, it’s bonded by our love, so him wearing another mans wedding band, wouldn’t bother me at all, if anything, it would make me happy to see him wearing his fathers ring. His father was an outstanding man.
Any thoughts?
For those who say ask first: His mom is nuts and we don’t really deal with her - my husband on the other hand, is just like his dad - easy going to the core. I know he wouldn’t mind, he doesn’t seem to hold sentimental value to material things, maybe it’s a guy thing. But I know, that if was fixed, he’d wear it, because it belonged to his dad.
I just don’t want to do somehting tacky that people will say “you don’t want to wear someone elses’ wedding band - that’s bad luck - or unproper” ….I know I shouldn’t care what people think, but I was just curious as to everyones opinion on it.
I’m married, we did the vegas wedding and had the vegas rings, now my dad has passed and I have his ring, it fit’s on my middle finger, slides right off the ring finger. it has inscriptions and is a patterned ring, I don’t want to cut it to my size and ruin the pattern or the inscription, and at the same time I don’t think the finger should matter, I know I’m married.. why doesn’t my wife get it?
