Wow GF, that is great! That really is a huge step.
Ok, here is my 2 cents on the wedding rings. And you can disagree with me if you like...just a pet peeve of mine on these boards. I read so much about people getting new wedding rings or wanting new rings because they want it to represent a new beginning...while I understand that...I don't agree with it.
I think they represent how strong you are as a couple to have overcome that bad part. You didn't give up, you worked through it. We said for better or worse...that just happened to be the worst...and you worked through it. That pain is a part of your marriage and you two loved each other enough to work through it. Rather than reminding you of the pain it should remind you of the love it took to work through it. It should remind you of how strong both you and your H are. Anyway, that is just how I feel about it.
