Have any of you ever forgotten to wear your engagement ring?

ladylee, on April 1, 2010 at 3:50 PM Posted in Planning 0 28

I know some of yall sleep in them and everything but I cannot b/c I wake up with a swollen finger. Anywhatever, I've had a couple of Oopses since I got it. One day last week I just completely forgot to put it on. I remember that morning being interrupted from my normal routine. I remember putting lotion on my hands before I went to the jewelry box and then something happened. I was walking into the office when I realized I didn't have it on.

Then another time I put it on the wrong finger. I don't know if yall remember a while back I made a post about losing one of the stones out of my stepmom's ring. I had worn this ring nearly every day since she died in 2001 and I always wore it on my right hand. It was just part of my routine to put on mom's ring and then put on my watch. One day I was half way through the workday and realized I had my e-ring on my right hand!

    I have. I also dont sleep with any jewlery. I workout first thing in the morning...6:00 am. I also dont workout with jewlery. I pack my stuff (clothes, jewlery, etc.) the night before. A few times, I forgot to pack it up. Then I worry all day whether I just forgot it or lost it.

    I totally did! She was the ceo of his company lol. It was amazing, and HUGE!!!

    His direct boss has another version of it (slightly smaller, and yes I mean slightly) with a yellow diamond in the center.

    I had MAJOR ring envy the whole time. BAD.

    I forget a lot on the weekends. During the week I always remember to put it with my other jewelry since I go to the gym. On weekends I don't do that so it gets forgotten if I don't go to my jewelry box

    I have forgotten a few times, and I also have freaked and thought I had lost the ring, when all the time I had just switched it to my right hand.. I am also used to ALWAYS wearing a ring on my right hand, but since being engaged I don't. I am however getting a right hand ring as a wedding gift- so that should solve my hand swapping issues!

    I've forgotten it a few times :-) thats why I got into the habit of wearing it to bed. I wanted to get used to the feel of the weight at all times. Most of the time now I notice if I don't have it on within 3-5 mins

    I take it off when I sleep and when I do chores around the house, and there have been times I've forgotten to put it on in the morning. Usually, I notice when I'm a few blocks from home and I'll turn around and go home and get it. I don't care if I'm late to wherever I'm going - I want my ring! Smiley smile

    The only way I can sleep in my ring is to turn the center stone to the inside of my hand. I do that sometimes if I lay down for a nap. Otherwise, it sits too high and it's just painful b/c I usually sleep laying on my hands lol.

    Iguanatan have you picked out a ring or is it a surprise? I've been keeping my eye open for a ring or two. I kinda want to have a statement ring and then I'm kinda thinking of a diamond thumb ring.

    I have never forgotten it but I have chosen not to wear it- usually on a weekend when I know I'm going to be cleaning or gardening. Otherwise I am constantly thinking about it and looking at it, and I wouldn't want to miss that! I love my ring!

    We live in NY and are getting married in Maine. back in September when we were there to meet with vendors I left mine in our motel room by accident after a shower. Not only was I completely embarrassed in front of the vendors for not having one on (ha-ha) i was flipping out and so nervous it wouldn't be there when we got back. Then one day I forgot to wear it to work. Luckily I have errands to run at work and live 3 miles away, so I came back home 20 minutes into work to get it cause I hated not having it on.

    I forgot to put it on today when I went for my dress fitting. Haven't worn the last couple of days because we have been bailing water out of our newly finished basement.

    It's funny that the one day I log in here I find your topic that pertains to me, and I thought only happened to me! Lol...



    I take mine off to put lotion on every morning and I ended up leaving it on the table one day... he was still asleep and I was only down the block so I came back in the house and put it on like nothing every happened, but a few weeks ago the same thing happened and I didn't realize it till I was at work already. Of course I text him and let him know and apologized before he found it and had a fit... needless to say he threatened to hide it on me, but put it in my jewelry box! lol
