Re: whats the reasoning for not letting people try

Someone at work told me it was bad luck to take off your ring in general (to shower, sleep, etc.). She got so upset with me when she found out I took it off to shower, sleep, wash my hands, and sometime even cook, could you imagine if she found out I let people try on my ring as well. I think people have their own beliefs about it, but I do let people try on my ring as well, and I don't feel it gives me any bad luck. FH & I are very happy and I know our marriage will be what we make of it. My ring will not determine if I am happy or not <--just my opinion anyway.

Re: whats the reasoning for not letting people try

Let me tell you a story when I got my e-ring sized...

I brought it back to the store for them to take it and resize it. I was sad thinking I'd be without it for a week or so. Then the associate took it from me and automatically put it on her hand as she looked up my records on the computer. For what seemed like forever as she filled out papers and tortured me, I just stared at my ring on HER finger. My sadness was gone and I just wanted to kill her. I kept thinking 'take it off biatch!!!'


I came home so angry. I told my FH the story and he asked if that meant if he was engaged to her. (Normally we joke all the time, hence our wedding date, but I was so mad when he asked me.) Now I look back and laugh.
