At some point my spouse inherited his mother's wedding ring and gave it to me so I swapped out the rings. I lost his mothers ring when I lost weight. One day it wasn't on my hand anymore.
I miss the ring.
That is hilarious.
As for lost rings, mine is too big because I have lost more than 30 lbs since getting married, so I just moved it to my middle finger. It fits perfectly. My husband was a little annoyed until I showed him how it would just fall off while walking. Besides, he married a nontraditional woman; he can't be surprised if my wedding ring is a little nontraditional.
