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 a very plain and simple gal….my engagement ring and a watch are all I wear and have worn in my life!! My mom gave me an antique pearl necklace, but to me, it doesn’t look like “me” when I put it on. It’s odd to see necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc. on me….so….would it be TOO plain to not wear any jewelry on my wedding day?
Thanks!! 
Everyone in my family has a six prong Tiffany setting engagement ring and a plain band wedding ring. My fiance and I want to look for something that is antique,preferably Edwardian or Art deco. I love filigree and things that are simply interesting. I think it will be difficult to find a matching band. Do you think it is okay to just have one ring? Finding the perfect ring is like finding a needle in a haystack. My mom wants him to go out and buy a ring now, but I told her, round diamonds and Tiffany settings are aren’t a dime a dozen, but we are not running out of stock, so we are going to look.
What do you think, Engagement and wedding ring or just one ring?
