My boyfriend just proposed to me Thursday night. I know that he is short of cash at the moment so I don't have a ring but he promised me that he will get me one soon.
I hate the idea of having to wear a engagement/wedding ring.
Is it absolutely necessary?

the ring is only important if it matters to you.
I wore my engagement ring until I got married, just to have something to remind me that it was real, but it wasn't eh traditional ring - it was a silver spoon ring with a small sapphire in it. once we got married, I had it turned into a pendant and wear it as a neckalce now.
if it's not important to you and your fiance, it's not important, but I personally think getting a little something is a nice idea, it doesn't have to cost a lot.

I think it depends on you and him ! How you all feel about it! But i am wondering why you would hate to wear one anyway?? you didn't say why? maybe you just don't like wearing rings?? But anyway , on the other side of it, I think wearing a rings is saying alot and your letting other knows your engaged and all ! and there is meaning behind wearing the ring you know? It wouldn't matter how much it cost ! it could be from a pawn shop or a bubble gum machine if he really couldn't afford one !! But if you don't mind and hate wearing one then let him knnow so he won't have to work hard on getting you one or so he won't worry about getting you one for now !!! It may releive him sense he's short on cash !!! All that really matters is how you feel about Him really and he you !!! So i'd tell him how you feel and see how he feels about it!!! But later on i think you should want to wear your rings when you are married ! Cause how would you feel if He doesn't want to wear his wedding ring?? Women would think he's a free man, right?? well good luck to ya !!

I have been married to my husband for 33 years and have never had an engagement ring. I do wear a wedding band to honor my marriage, but it is not necessary.

If a man was asking the question on wearing his wedding band, I believe the answers would range from "What are you trying to hide", or "do it for you bride/wife".
It doesn't matter what anyone here thinks, all that matters is what you and your boyfriend think. Some people want their spouse to wear the symbol of their love, others do not care.

Society says you must have a ring, but I think it doesn't matter. The true meaing of getting married is to love each other and build a life together, the ring is a material symbol, love is the only thing that truly matters. Good Luck!!!!

Hey hon just wear the plain gold wedding band. It will look elegant and classy. I don't think an engagment ring is necessary at all. The wedding band is what says you are married. :)

I don't think it really matters. Its more of a symbol of what you have (love). If you don't want one the money for the ring could be better spent somewhere else, like the actual wedding or on the honeymoon.

It's only important to those people that are materialistic, you don't have to wear any rings at all, it's not a legal requirement so don't wear one if you don't want one

No, it's not necessary if you really don't want it. However, reconsider wearing a wedding ring...

not absolutely neccessary, the ring is only a "symbol" of his love for you! the ring is only a thing, you dont need it to know that he loves you
