divorced parents wedding rings
Hi guys! It's been forever since I've posted. I was so busy with the holidays and then I started grad school and a research assistantship in January. I've been so incredibly busy since then!
So, over the weekend my mom gave me her E ring, wedding ring,and my dads wedding ring. My parents were married 19 years, together 16 of those years. They've been separated since 2000, divorced since 2003. Mom is remarried. They had an...average divorce? Idk. A messy enough split but on good terms now.
So my question is, what do I do with these rings? I like my moms bridal set but is it weird to wear two bridal sets (mine on my left hand, hers on the right)? especially when one if from a divorce. would it be less weird if I just wore her e ring? not sure if any future sons would want them to give to their FI since the marriage didn't last. i like the rings but feel weird wearing them.
thoughts?
Re: divorced parents wedding rings
my parents are seperated but my mom wears my dad's wedding ring because she likes it (it's a plain gold band that looks like a ladies ring!).
I wouldn't be opposed to wearing my moms rings if she gave them to me...but then again, i probably wouldn't wear them becuase I only wear my own rings. You could always keep them just because.
