Last weekend we went to the beach and went swimming....while we were wrestling around in the water he looks down and his ring is GONE! We don't know where he lost it though.
I was so upset because that was the one that was blessed at the church, a part of the ceremony, in all the pictures etc. I was just about crying and even my husband was upset.
So on Tuesday I went to see if they still had his ring and low and behold there it was. I was so relieved. We have only been married for a year and a bit so that's why we could find it.
The worst part was we bought him a little fancier ring because he didn't plan on ever wearing it...it had diamonds in it and white gold with yellow gold. It was very nice.
Well - he ended up wearing it everyday for work and it was getting really worn out (after only a year). He works in construction and is always laying conrete, jack hammering etc and the dust and dirt just did a number on it.
So now we have two rings for him....a ring the same as the original which we are saving for special occassions and a gold band for him to wear to work. He wasn't too happy about that at first, but I would hate for us to try to find the same ring in a few more years when that ring has been discontinued.
The funniest part of the whole thing:
When discussing if he should wear a ring to work at all because of it's safety issues too he says: But I really like wearing my ring to work, I like being married. Awwwwww!
He ends the sentence with: Maybe in a few years when the novelty of the ring wears off I won't wear it as much! Whhhattt!!!
Men! No idea! Of course he back pedalled when he seen the look on my face!!! And said: I didn't mean it like that!!!
Surreee you didn't!!!
Just thought I would share a little of my dream marriage LOL KIDDING

Lana Marie,
What do you mean you were "wrestling around in the water"? Don't you two know you should save that stuff for the bedroom? Just kidding!
You sound like you have a real sweetheart of a husband. I'm sure he didn't mean anything by his comment. I can just see the look on his face when he tried to get out of that one! Kind of like when I ask my husband if I look fat in an outfit and he says, "Not too much!" Yikes! What do you mean, "Bot too much?"

LOL - They are so clueless. For all the men on the site I think we should compile a list to help them know what we really mean....
For example:
1) When you arrive home late, drunk or other and I don't greet you at the door and you ask me whats wrong...and I say fine! It means I am NOT fine, but you have to guess why!
2) If I ask how this dress looks, you should say you look beautiful!
3) If a volumpuous women walks by us, you should say you are more beautiful!
4) Just because I am grouchy does not mean you have to roll your eyes and say "PMS - gotta love it" I don't have PMS - I am just really angry at you.
LOL

I know that feeling of losing his wedding ring. About two years ago, my husband who can't wear his ring to work, went to put his on and it was gone. He told me he thought he lost it. He used to be real bad about laying it down anywhere. So we searched the house and found nothing. A few days later I went to put on my engagement ring, it was missing. We finally figured out that someone must have broken into our house when one of ran to the store or something. We would occasionally leave a door unlocked to run to the convenience store or grab a bite. I cried for almost a month. I couldn't get a replacement for either ring. His I bought at a store that went out of business a year later and mine wasn't sold anymore. He had bought me a ruby ring to wear because the original plan was for me to get my grandmother's wedding set. I needed to get my ring sized for my right hand and I had never gotten around to doing it. I still get bummed out over it. I am at least thankful that we have pictures of both rings. Ya'll were lucky that it got to be replaced. He now has a gold band that he wears when he's not at work.

Laurie,
That's terrible...you know some people are so rude...why would they take something that has no sentimental meaning to them.
Feel free to steal every TV, VCR, stereo system everything we have, just leave the rings....it just is so frustrating.
I am so sorry this happened to you. I understand how upset you must have been. We are very fortunate that we could replace ours. We were lucky he learnt this lesson now instead of 5 years from now.

My husband lost his wedding ring while working three months after we got married.  Since we were poor college students at the time we couldn't afford to buy another one.
A good friend of ours wife up and left him for no reason and he was going to throw his wedding ring into Lake Michigan. He asked my husband if he wanted it and 12 years later my husband still wears the ring.
Can you believe I have never replaced his ring?

So sorry to hear that Lana-marie. I know how you feel about the ring being blessed and the sentimentality of it all and I know I would be devastated over it too.
Remember though that a marriage is about so much more than the rings and whilst they are incredibly special, the love you share is even more so.
