I'll say, "Oh, are you engaged/married?" They say, "Oh no, my boyfriend and I bought each other promise rings." (although I've had this situation with both sexes) The promise ring that I'm referring to in my post is a ring that sports some sort of nebulous statement of love without any real commitment backing it up.<br /><br />The picture of the hand is one that popped up when I googled "promise ring", and does not belong to my arm. :-P I've actually always worn my wedding ring on my left hand with no problem, but some musicians prefer to have it out of the way. Obviously, I need to be a little more observant when I pick pictures for the blog! ;-)Maria D. @ DownrightDomesticityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455425847355266585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4118162652498641658.post-44069675879456398822011-02-11T22:15:55.707-06:002011-02-11T22:15:55.707-06:00Hm, so I don't understand the last picture. I...Hm, so I don't understand the last picture. If it's what I think it is, it's that you wear a ring on your right ring finger instead of left? And I would assume that has something to do with violin playing? (We have violinists in our church who wear their rings on their right hands instead of left.) The other thing I came up with was that maybe you don't wear a wedding band? Regardless, I loved reading all those things about you!! That's really cool about playing in Pavarotti's orchestra :)Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03171889409871334109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4118162652498641658.post-70540537870472612922011-02-11T20:44:30.551-06:002011-02-11T20:44:30.551-06:00That was a great list of things!

I've known several people who took a ring, many times in high school, to symbolize saving their bodies for marriage. I think those rings have value, because they actually stand for a commitment to an ideal.<br /><br />What I take issue with, however, are the couples who decide to buy each other expensive rings to signify that they're "going steady", and then wear them where a symbol of lifelong COMMITMENT(engagement/wedding ring) should go. In my mind, it devalues wearing a wedding ring when you replace that special spot with jewelry that really doesn't mean any kind of "promise" at all.Maria D. @ DownrightDomesticityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455425847355266585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4118162652498641658.post-4848903232342390902011-02-11T16:41:27.419-06:002011-02-11T16:41:27.419-06:00I knew several of those... but I have known you lo...I knew several of those... but I have known you longer than the average person who reads your blog. ;) <br /><br />BUT I have to give a tiny argument for the "promise ring". There are promise rings that promote saving yourself for marriage (i.e. the chastity ring) which I wore until I was on the altar actually. I switched it to my right hand when it was time to exchange our rings. Though still somewhat confusing because people ask (it's on your left hand after all), it is a great opportunity to witness to others that sexual intimacy is worth saving for your future husband/wife.Kayla Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12666634330877505214noreply@blogger.com
