How important is a wedding ring, would you marry without one? Why do you feel it is important? Has anyone here had a sucessful Ring-Less proposal!? My husband and I were married in April of last year I told him I didn't need a ring because I know how much we love each other and He cannot wear a ring anyways because he works with sheet glass all day. I have a ring and he doesn't But, I want to know howyou all feel?

The ring is not important. Nor is the dress or the ceremony. The love and commitment between the two people getting married is important.

I run a wedding shop in Ontario and I admit this is rather unusual, but nothing wrong with it. It's your marriage and it's how you want it done. Not many people can afford wedding rings, and for this reason, they just bought regular rings for the ceremony and wedding rings when they can afford it. Rings are only symbols, don't let it get in the way of your happy life together. Don't tell the jeweller though, they'll hunt me down :)

it depends on how you think about it. not everyone think wedding ring is important, 'just believe me n my love', and wedding ring is only a symbol of marriage

Rings aren't important. It is the person who you are marrying that is important. My first engagement ring was an $8.00 mood ring. Before my husband and I were engaged he jokingly proposed to me with a mood ring. When he really did ask me, I asked him to go out and get me a mood ring. So, he did. I wore it all the time. Even when it turned my finger green. I still have it, too.

I think that it's up to each individual couple to decide what is right for them. If it works for you great. I would want rings, but that's just me.

I dont think the ring is important at all. I have a promise ring as a wedding ring, it was inexpensive and i just wanted something small and dainty. We almost got married with no rings, but we decided we should pick ourselves out our own rings, they dont match, and i never got an engagement ring. It doesn't matter, how you get married or even if you get married i don't think. you know you love eachother weather a peice of paper or a ring tells you you do dont you ? So, i think its not important at all. Material possessions - you can't take em with ya they are meaningless in the end.

When my husband I got married we didn't get any rings. With my husbands job he can't wear rings. And it is just not important to me to have a ring. This is my second marriage and I only had weddings bands in my first marriage. This is just not a priority with me. I felt the money would be better spent on other things.
