I am going to get married next September and are planning to have a somewhat traditional Mexican wedding with some minor differences. My fiancee and I plan to buy our wedding rings and have the "padrinos de anillos" present the rings at the alter. We were planning on asking his brother and sister-in-law. My godmother called my mom saying they way want to give me the wedding rings. I want to say no but my parents insist that it wouldn't be right to say no because their feelings would be hurt. There's another catch to the story, back in the 80's my godfather "mishandled" some of my dad's money. We think he stole it but since no one wants to bring it up its always been an issue. I don't know if they really want to give me the rings because I am their goddaughter or because they want to "pay back" some of that money in a sense. I really don't know what to do. I just want to be able to pick my own rings. I wouldn't want to look at them knowing there's that story behind it...

Another thing is that my godparents live in Mexico and I live in California....they would be the ones that are going to decide what they look like.

Well if this was me, I would take this day as it is. That means that this day belongs my so to be and I. So what I want Is what I shall get. If that means get my own ring then be it. POINT BLANK! But It's not me it's you. So take it from me and have your day. Good luck

Sounds very complicated, but maybe you can at least pick the rings together with your godparents so that you get the model you want?
Anyway, having some additional story to your rings might make them just that more special! And if they can help your family to have better relations, isn't it nice?
If you really do not want to have anything to do with it, just make it clear that it's your wedding and that you really want those other people to do it. Say it has nothing to do with your godparents, but that you just prefer the other people.

I would take the rings as a gift and use both in the cermony and them use the ones you like for everyday and keep the others as a keepsake
