lodo,

I wore my wedding ring until the end. Kim kept asking me why I still wore it. I just needed to wear it to remind both of us that we made a commitment to each other.

When Wifey was in Europe, I thought since she was wearing an engagement ring, I should as well. I purchased a braided white gold band.

The toughest part was putting it on; my "wedding ring" finger had been bare for a while. It brought a flood of emotions like I had never felt before. To me, it was a symbol of my love for Wifey...

I went home, took a picture of it and e-mailed it to Wifey..... She loved it... She was pleasantly surprised I would want to wear an "engagement" ring...

When I told one of the gals at my new job I was getting married, she said, "Married? You are already married! You have been wearing that ring the entire time." I said, "Yes, I have. It is an engagement ring." She said, "Wow! Most married guys don't want to wear their ring. Yet, you wear it before you are married!" I said, "It is just a symbol of how I feel about Wifey."

On a side note, the old wedding ring came in handy.... I used it to pay for a portion of my "engagement" ring.....
