    Yes, Sometimes, Ring Finger left hand. I don't like restrictive clothing, I don't wear a watch, I class jewellery as restrictive clothing. I don't really like it. I put the ring on, if I remember, before going out and take it off again when I get home. Often at work I take it off and sit it on the keyboard or monitor stand. In meetings I take it off and fiddle with it. I hate washing my hands with the ring on, have to take it off afterwards and dry things properly. I'm sure one day I will lose it and be in for a massive bollocking. It is flattened on one side, from singing the Wild Rover with over enthusiastic banging one late night in a pub. My dad did have one, but lost it soon after getting married. Rings can be dangerous, and more people than you would think (mostly women obviously) lose fingers when they catch on things. The joins in water slides are good for that, nothing kills the mood at a water park quite like someone emerging at the bottom of the slide screaming with blood gushing everywhere, closely followed by a ring.

    Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

      An article from Aunty[^] made me wonder if you guys [and gals] wear a wedding ring and if so where. My Dad never wore oen as shortly before his wedding a Gunner on his Gun lost a finger when his ring got caught. I wear one but on my right hand as that is where it was put when we got married; the Teshies do do things the wrong way. So A. Are you married? B. Do you wear a ring? C. Which finger?

        Yes, I'm married. 29 years this Sunday, actually. I wear a wedding ring, but not all the time. When I wear it, it is on my left hand ring finger. Culturally, I wonder where all this comes from? :)

          A comment from another article on the story; "Surely, if she can wear a ring prised off a corpse he can wear a ring given by his bride."

              Yes Yes Left hand ring finger. Have taken it off maybe three times since the wedding. The last time, it disappeared for two days, but was finally found rattling round in the dryer. Not coming off again. Need it...it has my anniversary date engraved on the inside, along with the name of my wife. If I forget either of those, I'm dead.

                A. Getting there, just 3 weeks to go. B. I will, I went out and got a cheap palladium one a few weeks ago, and I'm looking forward to wearing it. I did see a nice brushed platinum ring but it was the price of the honeymoon, so the GF was having none of that. My GF on the other hand likes her engagement ring so much that she doesn't want a wedding ring spoiling it's setting, so I'll be putting the engagement ring on her finger again at the wedding. C. We'll both be using the 3rd finger on the left hand.

                  My wife's engagement ring was bought from a shop in the jewellery quarter in Birmingham and we went back to them for the wedding rings. The wedding rings were designed by us and them together, and specifically to go with / around her engagement ring, and then made up by them. The do go very well together because of that.

                      I got the engagement ring in 'the design yard' in dublin, which stocks stuff from lots of designers. The engagement ring had to go back to the designer 3 or 4 times cause the diamond started to slide out of it. The last time it went back he came up with a solution that seems to have fixed the problem We thought about going back to the designer to get a wedding ring, but she loves the engagement ring and thinks any ring on the same finger is going to detract from it. I spent enough on it so I'm happy enough if that's the way she wants to go.

                        Well that is the point of all this expense, to make sure she gets what she wants. Getting married is insanely expensive, anything that deducts some cost without annoying her has got to be good. How are you finding her this close to the event? My missus turned into an insane b!tch as we got closer and closer to the day. I told her that if she didn't revert afterwards I was getting an annulment. Fortunately she went back to normal as soon as the day started.

                          My GF is completely laid back about the whole thing, same as myself. We've been lucky that her friends decided that they needed to organise the date, the venue, ... which was cool cause if it was left to us it probably wouldn't be happening (cause we've done f-all ourselves). So her mother has been doing the paniced Diva bit, driving the GF up the walls. And it's usually over the phone, so I'm not getting any of that hassle. Wedding is on the 29th and last week we still hadn't sent out the invites so her mother was going nuts. We had to sit down last monday night and do them all, we started with 25 invites for us, 25 for my mother and 25 for her mother, but we're up to about 110 people for the main gig now. We brought the laptops to bed last night and organised the honeymoon. We had the flights to Jamaica booked yesterday morning, so we decided on 4 days in Kingstown, 5 days (I think) in Negril, 4 days in Boston Bay and back to Kingstown for the last night.

                            Left ring finger. I do take it off after getting my hands wet because my skin will turn white with moisture and will crack when it finally does dry if I don't allow it dry properly.

                            I have nothing more to say.
