Old Traditions
I was sitting with Will and Caryn at their camp last night before the drumming circle, and we got to talkin about wedding rings. I had mentioned that I still had my engagement ring, wedding ring, and Alex gave me back the wedding ring that I gave him, because both of the wedding rings were my parents.
Caryn was going to give her wedding ring to her son, Tegan, who is a very young and foolish boy, and at 18 is already a papa. But instead of giving it to him, so he can give it to a girl that may end up leaving him anyway and taking the ring with her, Caryn thought about selling it and giving the money to Tegan to help support the little baby. Which I thought was a very good idea.
I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with mine for a while. I thought about attempting to sell it and using the money towards my fathers medical bills. His recent surgery especially.
I’m not sure what to do about the wedding bands themselves. They are both yellow gold, and both look like chained links, with the womans having 4 diamonds along the top of the band. They are sentimental to me, my fathers wedding ring especially. But they aren’t something I intend to wear again. One reason being because I don’t like gold, the other being that I wore these in my first marriage. Doesn’t seem right to wear them in a second.
I suppose I could save them for any potential children I might have, so they could perhaps wear their grandparents wedding rings if they wanted. But I think the engagement ring I will probably definitely sell. Unless anyone has any other ideas.
This expensive ring shit is the pits. My next one will not be this expensive.
