I always wear the wedding and engagement ring my wife bought me when dressed, after all, we are married.

this conversation with my wife. Told her that I wanted something to wear, doesn't have to be fancy, but something feminine to wear dressed, especially if we go out. This actually made her quite happy, and we are in the process of finding a feminine wedding ring.

I always wear my "boy band", it the only thing my wifes really asks me to do. But, I also wear an engagement ring with it. That way it doesn't look like a "boy ring"

I have never worn any rings, because of my line of work. But my heart is her's for now and always.

Mine has never been of in the 9 years we have been married.

That's a big no-no! :tongueout

I have not worn a wedding band in 25 years and now that I am separated ... that is not an issue here :)

My wife's and my wedding rings are matching so I do not have any problems.

I don't wear my wedding ring because my wife hocked it a few years ago! Im guessing that says " I really dont love you anymore" Oh well.

I always wear my wedding ring. My wife recently got me a (fake) engagement ring to wear,too when I'm dressed. It's not a real diamond of course, but it's big and sparkly! The first time I was dressed after she bought it, I took the wedding band off, but that was apparently a no-no!! (I figured the engagement ring still showed I was hers!). Anyway, I am dressed right now for one of those rare treats and I have both rings on. I like it better with both rings, anyway, I discovered, even though they don't really "go" together (1 gold and 1 silver). Maybe someday I can have the whole matching bridal set (and maybe I can get that while I'm dressed in a wedding gown!!! -- Hint, Honey!) Lol.

I only wore a wedding ring in the first few months of our now 38 years of marriage...

My wedding ring just became too small too quickly after politely eating all the food I got put in front of me once married... Once it was off I never wore any ring again, until I started going out dressed in the beginning of '07...

Now when I go out en femme, I wear 4 rings, all fakes, but very real looking with Cubic Zirconiums in three of them...one of them is a wedding type ring with a row of tiny (fake) diamonds in it...

:love:Dita.

I never go out dressed without wedding and engagement ring, plus an eternity ring when I can remember (lol).

My wedding band is in a box in the dresser in the bed room. I work around aircraft and I safety wire components on the aircraft, Its too easy to get your finger cought on the safety wire and loose a finger or loose the ring in a turning jet engine. I don't wear rings when dressed

I just switch mine over to an engagement style ring when I am enfemme. I also add some others to the other hand to balance the look out.

I wear my wedding ring all the time. So being "en femme" doesn't change a thing in that respect.

I don't want to hide the fact that I am married.

I have my wedding ring on my left hand and a ring containing one of the diamonds from my mothers wedding set on my right hand.


The only time they come off is when I am work, and thats only for safety reasons.

I do not wear a wedding ring en homme either. Neither my father nor my father in law wore a ring so it wasn't that odd for me. When dressed I wear both a wedding band and an engagement ring.

I always wear my wedding band with an engagement ring that matches my sweetie's. I don't know if it drives off the possible encounters but I've done alright so far.

I found a wedding set online. It is hard to find large size rings.
Jean says that she wants me to have a real diamond, but I said that it is not necessary.

I always wear mine. But I have to wear it on my right pinky. I think it got smaller after 41 years. And I refuse to have it enlarged.

Took it off after the first week. Working as a machinist means never wearing jewery. Don't care for it anyway. Well... except... maybe nice big dangling clanking hoop earrings while dressed. .

Wow! soo many different responses. Thank you all. I like to wear my wedding ring and think I will add an engagement ring. I think it tells your SO you still care enough and are still commited. Merry Christmas everybody.

I would like to wear a ring or two infem. But I never wear rings, wedding or any other kind. I kipt getting my wedding band caught on everything. So I took if off and never put in back on again.Good way for an active person to loose a finger.

I have alway worn my male wedding band when going out. My wife bought me an engagement ring to match it about 2 yrs ago. So now I wear both when going out.

I have a plain white gold band so my wife about 4 years ago went to a pawn shop and got a white gold 3/4 cart demand engagement ring she had size to fit my wedding ring finger so when I put it on they look great! like they always have been there for the past 16 years.

My wife and I have almost identical wedding bands, so I just wear mine when I am dressed.

AnnaMaria
12-26-2007, 12:32 PM
Actually I wear two wedding rings all the time. I wear the one that my wife gave to me and I wear a celtic wedding band also known as a claddagh which was a gift to my mom from my dad who has since passed. I wear them both on the same finger with the claddagh on the outside like an engagement ring and it is not very often that anyone says a word about it.

I have considered getting some type of engagement ring to wear when I am dressed but that would mean that I would have to take off my claddagh and that is something that I am not willing to do, and there is no way that I will take off the one that my wife gave me no matter what.

Personally I feel that me taking off my wedding ring for any reason is a kind of betrayal of the vows that it represents.

I wouldn't mind having a more feme looking wedding ring to wear since I am looking at having to replace my origional band due to the work that I do and the fact that it is starting to wear kind of thin. The problem with that is the fact that it would not last as long and decent rings are not cheap so I will probably end up sticking with a ring that is a little heavier so that I can wear it longer before it too has to be replaced.

Wow... what a good question.,.. The thought never occurred to me..

WHEW! My wedding ring hasn't even come off in the more than three decades we've been married....I can't get it off now unless I have I cut off...BUT..what a dead give away....what am I going to do??? Oh dread...:( maybe find a fem ring that I can wear with it??? Oh what to do ...what to do... it's just a plain gold band....maybe it isn't such a dead give away after all???:heehee:

mollytyler
12-26-2007, 01:07 PM
When the right guy asks-then I'll wear one-LOL...for now just wear a traditional Irish Claddagh ring on right ring finger....ring has heart(to symbolize love) Clasping hands(to symbolize friendship) and a crown(to symbolize loyalty) - when single and 'looking' the heart is worn pointing out....when you find the true one..the ring is reverse and heart points to your heart(all on the right hand)......if you become engaged...switch to the left hand with heart facing out.....when married...during the ceremony the ring is reversed on the left hand with heart facing your heart.....mine is traditional claddagh setting but with diamonds on the heart/hands/crown......alas.......it is on the right finger with heart pointing outward.....for now.......

Yes of course even though mine is rather masculine I do wear it I am married to a wonderful girl and wouldnt dream of not wearing it sometimes I do tun it around so it looks just like a plain band I add a pinky ring to take away from it though

Tina Dixon
12-26-2007, 02:16 PM
Well no I never were it, took it off one day and that was it, hell I don't even were a watch, just don't care for jewelry so I don't wear it.

Sam-antha
12-26-2007, 02:24 PM
Ach now Tina you have done it again to me.... I, like you do not wear mine and when I am out, I do wear a watch (a fem watch if I am in town that is).
Tina, It is the watch thought that I bind about, I thought I had something new.

Yes I do, but I also wear a very feminine wedding band over it, as my band is very nondescript and small anyway. good luck

AudreyII
12-26-2007, 07:47 PM
I was in a bitof turmoil over this very issue. My boy wedding band and engagement ring (yes she got me one) are too masculine for when Im en femme
The solution was found in the form of an engagement/wedding ring set discovered on E-bay

I know that when im in drab, the first thing I look at is the ring finger. I wonder how many times guys have checked my ring finger. I wouldnt want to hit on another mans wife...lol

KateSpade83
12-27-2007, 08:52 PM
I'm not married but I wear a ring to explain to any guy that hits on me that I'm married! When I'm out in drag shopping sometimes I dress too attractive and men have looked at me! So I want to avoid trouble with men. The St John saleslady - Anna - told me to get a ring when I told her I'm afraid men might hit on me.

I bought a $75 ring on sale at Macy's for $25. It's a green cubic zirconium, cheap, but I don't care. I just care that it'll keep men away from me!

Great Question!

This was one of the first things that was brought up when wife & I discussed me going out in public. I wanted to wear a ring that showed to all that I was married to the most wonderful woman in the world and certainly was not available. Even with the ring I am still approached. A ring though symbolic is not what really matters it is the vows one makes to each other and the willingness to keep those vows the ring is just the visual symbol of these vows one has agreed to keep. With my job a lot of times I remove my ring when I am around high voltage anyways.

The ring is not real but a wedding set made out of CZ found on Ebay for under 20 bucks shh dont tell anyone.:heehee:

I stopped wearing my wedding ring after a co-worker 20 years ago, lost his finger. In drab, i keep it on my keychain. This thread brings up an interesting question and I need to go ring shopping for my femmme days.

Always wear it. I'm not trying to pick up GGs. My ring could be seen as a larger female band, so it works well for me. Would not want to wear an engagement ring in case I forgot to take it off before entering the house. That would cause a scene!

KarenNY

I always wear my boy wedding band, but I add a cubic zirconia engagement ring when I'm out en femme... my wife and I have virtually identical wedding rings anyway... the engagement ring is one I picked up for cheap, and I wear it with my wedding ring whenever I dress... just one of my usual accessories... :)

So.. Wear your wedding ring on a chain, as a necklace? :strugglin

I'm with Eugenie, whole-heartedly. I'm married in my head - it's a useful visible signal for the rest of the world, whichever mode I'm in? :)

My wife bought me a diamond wedding set for our first anniversary but I do keep my male wedding band on me at all times.

I always wear my ring. Short Story: We bought a 925 silver ring at the Big-E after we started dating in 1991-2 ish. We bought custom gold wedding rings, I went to boot camp for the USAF. I didn't see them until the day of the wedding in June 1994. It didn't fit, but was forced on for show. That was the only day I have worn the ring, (no it can't be re-sized for those whom will ask, had stretched to max and still too small.) I have worn my silver ring for 16 years now and have been through everything in my life, so it has lots of damage and scares, but is still true to it's round shape. I would never think of taking it off except to do my hair or lotion up.

After my second wedding in May of 1981, I only removed my ring once, and that was to place another ring on, as I renewed my vows on my tenth anniversary. In August of 2007, The Lord compassionately called his dear daughter home to end the pain that ravished her after her cancer returned.

After my wife passed, I removed the ring and placed it in her jewelry box along with hers. While I wore it, my ring signified my total commitment to the love of my life. However, as a widower, I cannot honestly display that commitment. My ring, along with hers will always be a treasured keepsake but I am now a single person with many good memories.:happy: Jill

Always wear it and a ring that resembles an engagement ring

Cristi

My band is too big to every be mistaken for a woman's ring, so I had to come up with a compromise.

For the first 20 years of my marriage, it never came off my finger. But when I wanted to go out dressed, I came up with an alternative. I remove the ring while dressed, put in on a chain, and wear it around my neck UNDER my blouse or dress, so it is against my skin. So I am still in contact with it.

The only downside is that I've worn it for so long that I have an unmistakable mark on my ring finger where it usually sits. I need to find some kind of woman's ring to take its place.

Ashley Williams

Oh no! Another thing I hadn't thought about!

In fact jewellery in general is something I have not given much attention to yet - still psyching myself up to try make-up again.

(The last time I dressed fully en-femme I still had a stash of stage makeup from my college days that worked very well.)

The lengths a girl has to go to for her beauty!!
