I was married for less than one year when I was young and dumb. I designed the ring myself AND paid for it solely. I was married briefly and LOVE the ring since I designed it. It's the ring I always wanted to be married with but unfortunately everything in my first wedding was perfect EXCEPT the groom! Question: I'm getting married again (after 9 years) and it's a second wedding for both of us. We finally found our soul-mates and are ready for a marriage not just a wedding. We already own a home together so I would be paying for a new ring again anyway (we'd use the household account that we both contribute to). I hardly ever wore it the first time around (I didn't want people to know I was married, should have been a red flag, I know!) so I want to know if my fiance is ok with it, can I use it again? We've talked about it and since I picked it out and paid for it and it's not like the ex got down on one knee or anything, my new man is ok with it. We've talked about resetting it, or trading it in for a better diamond, but you can't get any better than this one, it's the highest color and highest quality you can get. We talked about resetting it in platinum instead of gold, but I like gold and it makes it shine nicely and goes better with my skin tone. Is it completely wrong to reuse the ring??? I am NOT superstitious about it carrying bad vibes, just so you know....
If it's okay with both of you it's fine. As long as you're sure that everytime you look at it you won;t see the first husband's face, I guess you're good to go. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
I completely agree. I believe that we should be more practical these days. And, as long as no one is getting hurt or objects, this is fine. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
Heck no, I didn't see his face even then when he was in front of me! Again, young and dumb. I picked it out, I paid for it and said ok we've been together this long, it's time to get married. I definitely settled......now I've found my true soul mate and all I see when I look at that ring is what awesome taste I have! Thanks for the advice!
