I realize what the ring symbolizes but now days you have the engagement ring surrounded by guards used as rings, anyone with just a wedding band is snubbed at these days. Why is the ring so incredibly important to people? Isn't the meaning more important? I have a freind who doesn't even wear a band. Why do people always say, "oh you just got married? Let me see the ring"?

It's an insensitive boorish person that asks such a question unless they have actully seen that the person is wearing any ring. You know, like when a person ask you how much you paid for something. Like it's any of their business.
There are some religions that don't believe in wearing jewelry and that includes wedding rings as well. My poor mother didn't get a wedding ring until she'd been married almost 40 years. She wore it proudly as times had changed since they'd wed.
It isn't the ring that make a marriage. It is the commitment & love between two people; and their behaviour & conversation should reflect tha union as well.
But in this day & age, [most times] a wedding ring is respected and the interested party moves on when they see that ring. If you can't afford an engagement ring, that's fine. Presonally, I think a wedding ring is a good idea.

No, not all men wear their rings. Not all women do either. Some people just don't like jewelry. My husband has only worn his ring a handful of times and we've been married for 6 1/2 yrs. As long as you trust him then it shouldn't be an issue. A tattoo of your name is a lot more permanant than a ring anyway. ;-)

This doesn't really answer your question, but I just read somewhere that the size of the diamond represents how much the guy loves the girl. But it's the smaller diamond that means more love. With a smaller diamond there is real love in the relationship. With the bigger diamond it's as if the guy has to buy her love. I thought that was kinda interesting - I have the smallest diamond among my friends and I honestly think that my husband and I get along the best and have the better relationship.

if the ring itself is that important, it's for show mostly. The ring represents an unbroken circle between two people. The size and weight of the ring is only a technicality.

Just like the size of a guy's "tool", the ring and its size matters to women. Also it shows that the fact that you went out of your way to get a really nice ring for her shows how much you love her. If you had a new car or baby, you'd want to go around showing it off. It symbolizes love in the long term after the initial "OMG look at my ring. It's something for her to look at and think of you. Also we women LOVE jewlery. Especially sparkling ones. Jewlery to us is like candy to a kid.

most women like to show off their rings. if i was given an engagement ring with a small diamond, i would take it. honestly, the size of the diamond doesn't really matter to me - the most important thing is his LOVE.
what's important to you - the size of the diamond that you have or your love and relationship with your partner?
a small diamond and a simple wedding band is perfect for me. i really dont want those extravagant, huge diamond rings on my finger.

Oh baloney!
They are a symbol of love and it tells everyone else to stay the hell away cause this person is taken.
Many people won't listen but that's what I see when I see a ring on her finger.

Women like to show off their rings. It's an envy and jealous thing. It's a way to show other women you've caught one.
A wedding ring was also used as a courtesy to the opposite sex, especially for a woman, that she was already taken. That way she wouldn't have to continually fend off and reject lots of new mates.

People look at marriage and wedding rings in a different way.

because in america, people think that materials mean everything. I agree that weeding rings r important but some people forget about the meaning and see the ring to compare it to theirs (if they're married)
