Does Not Having A Wedding Ring...Take Away From The "Married Feel"?

Question

Rings are somewhat expensive, so not everyone can afford them. Do some couples choose to just not get wedding rings completely?

Answer 1

If you get married for the ring, there is a problem.
If you get married for your heart, who cares?
We don't have to be conventional. DO what is good for you and what you can afford...and my Gosh! all the money spent for few hours of celebration? I find it is insane if you don't really can afford it.
I would give up the ring and focus on the relationship instead. Better have the money and enjoy your newly married life then being indebted to pay for a wedding ring and start your marriage with financial problems.
I remember reading that when Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford tied the knot, between themselves, they made the rings out of aluminium foil, just as the symbol of their love.
I am sure they got into the diamonds later, but this it does not matter..

Answer 2

All couples exchange rings. If money is a problem check out the cheaper rings at Wal-mart or go to a pawn shop. Wal-mart has personalized sterling silver wedding bands for $25.88 on their website. So it's not that expensive.

Yes, not having the wedding ring will take away from the "married feeling".

Answer 3

A ring is a symbol of union, that you belong to each other for better or worse. your wedding day is the day you start the journey to live your life together hence you want to celebrate this special day with those who you would like to share the joy with. It's the blessing of the union where the ring symbolizes, that matters. You need a ring but doesn't have to be expensive. My wedding ring was actually a present from my husband for my birthday and also my engagement ring - one ring, that's all I need.

Answer 4

Sure some do choose to skip the ring, but all the couples who did that ended up divorcing. A ring is a constant reminder, especially for those who like to wander.

You don't have to splurge on a ring. Even a $50 ring is still a ring.

Both of my rings, together, cost less than $500. I'm okay with that!

Answer 5

My wedding ring was a silver band from a craft store that cost $2.50 in 1975. I was satisfied with it until 15 years later when I finally admitted that $2.50 was all I was really worth to my now ex husband.

So you need a ring, it doesn't have to be expensive, but as things improve, make sure he knows you expect and deserve better.

Answer 6

Rings can be very, very, very inexpensive. The rings' symbolism of unity internally to each of you, as a couple, and externally to the world is very important. I'd be more curious why a couple wouldn't want to show this beautiful sign of unity? Obviously, rings can't make a marriage succeed, but what's the point in making a "show" against them?

Answer 7

I would know that I am still married, but there is something special about the symbolizing of the bonds with wedding rings.

Answer 8

I don't think so, You can get rings in any price range. How about simple gold bands that would go for about $100? Absolutely nothing wrong with that.
The rings are important because of what they symbolize - the circle of the band for love neverending, and gold because it is precious and, like love, will not tarnish.

Answer 9

Sure, some people are just not ring people. Walmart sells basic bands for under $50 so most peeps could save up and even put them on lay away.

Answer 10

Wedding rings can be done at such a minimal cost. You should have the ring to symbolize the commitment you have made to each other and to show others your commitment as well.
