Well guys, I spilled the beans to my mom about the marriage. She's ecstatic! And she asked me if I still wanted to use her wedding ring. I had totally forgot that I had even asked for it! It's a really really beautiful gold ring with little inlaid pink gold roses all around it. I've always loved it.
But! It's from her first marriage, the one that ended in DIVORCE dun dun dun! My SO kind of looked at me funny when I said I'd use hers. Like it was a "cursed ring" or something. But it's not like my parents had an awful marriage. They were happily married, then they fell out of love, had a "calm" divorce (meaning neither was fighting, crazy, trying to steal stuff, etc), now get along pretty well and are both happily re-married. I think that's pretty awesome.
So would you wear a ring that was from a marriage that ended in divorce? I think I will. I just love that ring. Will have to get it re-engraved though (she also mentioned that a ring she gave me before with yellow "conflict free" diamonds would look really nice with it as an engagement ring, but my SO has got to buy me jewelry! So he's buying me a goddam engagement ring for goodness sake! He's no getting out of this one! )
