And I think the wedding ring I got married with would hold way too much sentimental value for me to just replace it like that. Anything to spend money pointlessly, I guess.
Wasn’t getting married/having a ring like the most important thing to her before Frank? Why would you then take that ring and just swap it out, especially for something ugly? There’s only a few instances where I would want to get a new ring. One is weight loss or gain to a point where the original ring can no longer be resized. The other comes with a personal story alert** For my sister’s 15th wedding anniversary, her husband got her a new band with 15 diamonds (3 rows of 5.) Then for their 20th she got a right hand ring with 5 more diamonds. She wears those two rings now instead of the original wedding ring (which was probably pretty small and cheap since they were 22 and 8 months pregnant when they got married.) The new ones are clearly sentimental too, and I’m sure she has her original wedding set safe in a jewelry box.**
But why replace your ring within a year or two of getting shotgun married? Also, I feel naked without my ring on after wearing one everyday for 12 years. Does it just not bother her since she’s only had one for such a short time? Can’t remember if she wore an engagement/promise ring with Ean.
