and to the married men...do YOU take off your WEDDING ring for certain reasons?

My husband takes his off at work because it could snag on a machine and cause him to lose his finger. If he lost his finger, he'd (a) have no where to wear his replacement ring and (b) lose part of his "tools" for his awesome massages. I think those are pretty good reasons.

First, pick your date or at least a time of year. Then, look in the phone book under "wedding." A lot of reception sites, caterers, bakers, florists will be listed there. Otherwise, look up the individual entries of "banquets", "caterers", "florists", etc. Then, call the places and book appointments. Start with the ceremony location and reception site, depending on which one is more important to you (if, for example, you already know where you want the ceremony to be, start there so you can ensure your date). Compare the services of each one, keeping in mind that not everything is equal. Location, appearance, packages, etc. will all vary, and you will have to decide what is most important for you. Then arrange food, photography/videography, dj, transportation, florists, and cake in that order. Florists and bakers can do more than one wedding a day, but photographers can't so they need to be booked first. Once you have the vendors, then focus on the details like programs, favors, centerpieces, etc. The vendor search can be a little overwhelming at first because it's a lot of phone and leg work, but once you get the hang of it you can overlap planning the details with planning the big stuff. The Knot has a lot of wedding planning ideas. They also have a handy checklist that you can customize to feature the things you want to include in your wedding. There is no reason why you need a wedding planner, and they often get you to spend more than you otherwise would want to. If you want any more detail, contact me directly. I loved planning my wedding!

The whole wedding ring thing is a silly, backwoods concept if you really think about it.

Is that the only thing preventing two people from committing adultery? GIVE ME A BREAK!

I can tell you right here and now that wearing (or not) some stupid ring isn't going to affect the outcome if I decide I want to fool around. Ridiculous!

This is just another weird notion dreamed up somewhere back in the freakin' stone age that no one has thought to question.

"Oh, I would have banged him senseless if he had not been wearing that ring!" Right....

I can tell you that no ring will ever stand in the way of two people who want each other... period.

Women.... stop worrying about the ring deal. Its a waste of time.

No I don't take off my wedding ring for any reason...although it has slipped off a couple of times...I need to get it re sized....My husband doesn't wear his wedding ring to work...It is a big no no in his line of work and could be very dangerous if he did.

I do when I get home.

I have nice ring I dont want to mess it up doing stuff around the house.

I am not married, but the place where I work, we are not allowed to wear jwellery so many of them just don't wear it. After all its marriage is not all about the ring.

religous reasons....it is not a biblical ceremony remember?

some remove after their wives cheat on them

some remove after cheating on their wives

some do not wear a ring because they do not need a piece of metal to feel married.

My husband always keeps it on, even if he goes to work and forgets it at home he carries a backup one in the car to put it on in case he forgets the real one. I don't see why you shouldn't wear it unless of course your job requires you not to for safety reasons.

i'm not married but i would take mine off since i'm a mechanic an dmy dad is too an dhe always takes off his when he workin on a car so it doesnt get caught on anything

my husband takes his off while he is at work, he is a mechanic and it would get in his way so he puts it on his key chain until he is done for the day
