Ring Insurance Ladies!!!
Hi Ladies,
After reading a post by emisi on our board on TK, and something that happened at our very own wedding I thought it would be a good idea to post this as a reminder!
One of my hubby's best friend's fiance was at our wedding reception, and went to the bathroom, took her ring off to wash her hands, and left it on the sink. When she realized it, she went back to the bathroom, and it was GONE. She told the people at the venue and notified our DJ so he could make an announcement but it didn't turn up.When I said to her, "you had insurance, right" her response was "No, HE didn't insure it." Immediately, I wanted to slap her right across the face and tell her it's not his responsibility to insure it, it's hers. Let me reiterate this: GET YOUR ENGAGEMENT RING INSURED!!! It is NOT the responsibility of your fiance/husband to do this; it sits on YOUR finger and you are responsible for that ring - which means you should get it insured!
Sorry, rant over, but I am so sentimental about my ring and personal things, that I would be devastated if I lost it or if something happened to it - but I at least have the peace of mind that it is insured.
Anyhow, I called the venue the next day (to thank them for everything) and the manager asked me if the girl found her ring, and I told her she had not; they said they were going to go through their garbage bags from the ladies room and see if they can find it.
Husband spoke to his friend the night we returned from our HM, and it still hadn't turned up. The poor guy can't even tell his parents because apparently a month prior to this, his mother said to him "you need to tell your fiance that she needs to be less careless with her engagement ring" and this was after she took the ring off and decided to pass it around the table at a restaurant to show it off. He also told hubby that he told her to get it insured and she didn't. She's a grown woman, an attorney, which means she's got a brain - so why she chose NOT to do this is completely beyond me. I'm certain that her ring was pricey too...and now he's feeling guilty asking himself "do I really have to get her another one?" and I feel he absolutely does NOT!
Morale of the story: get those sparkly things on your left hand, 4th finger insurrrrrrred!
Re: Ring Insurance Ladies!!!
Yep, just call them up. It's a personal articles policy. Mine is like $160 for the year, so WELL worth the $$$!
Finally...we are Mr. & Mrs.!!! WooHoo!!!

My mom's an insurance agent, so this happened almost immediately! If you have renter's insurance you can add it to your policy -- it cost us around $120 for a whole year. Definitely worth the money.
It's almost here! Weeeeeeee!
