Wedding Ring Problem?

Question

I have had my new wedding ring picked out and sized a month ago. I had it in for engraving and to make a long story short, after a month of headache and hassle I have it in my hands today. When I picked it out my hands were not swollen from being pregnant yet. Well now that I got the ring today, my wedding is tomorrow. I CANT GET IT ON MY FINGER. Its almost a size to small. Its not really the jewelers fault but I am devastated. my FINGERS ARE TO FAT AND SWOLLEN. What do I do? Just have him slip it on till it stops for the cerimony? Or not try it at all??? whats the suggestions?

Answer 1

I would run out to a jewelry store or any place that sells jewelry (even Wal-Mart or K Mart) and buy an inexpensive band in your size, keep looking until you find one that will fit. Wear that until you have the kid, and then you can see about getting the ring resized if your finger doesn't go back to normal.

Answer 2

take it to a jeweler first thing in the morning, as soon as they open. they should have a rush service that will get it done within an hour- if they do it on site. it will cost more, but worth it!

Answer 3

Will it fit any other finger? Maybe your pinky? I would much rather have him put the real ring on a different finger, or on the right finger as far as it will go...because it just wouldn't seem the same to use a different ring. I would always want to keep wearing the cheap one because of the sentiment of him having put it on me when he spoke the words from his heart!  So...if you feel in anyway like that...stick with the real one! And congratualtions on the wedding and the baby!

Answer 4

Buy an inexpensive ring(gold-plated if your ring's are gold, silver if they're platinum/white gold) that has a similar appearance. Use that for the ceremony, and wear it until your swelling subsides. Have a private ceremony later, just the two of you, to consecrate the true wedding rings. Make up your own vows, light lots of candles, or do it Mickey-and-Mallory style on a bridge or in a balloon or whatever.

Good luck to you, your man, and the bun!

Answer 5

I agree with the others who suggested that you get something inexpensive tomorrow at the mall just to get through the ceremony.  

After the wedding, you may want to get an alternate wedding band of decent quality to wear for the duration of your pregnancy.  You can also keep it for future pregnancies.

Good luck tomorrow!!

Answer 6

Ice your hand before the wedding or hold it up to bring the swelling down as much as you can. Other than that, I would just have him slide it on as far as it can go. You want to have the ring as part of the ceremony, and using any other ring would make your real one not the same. Congrats on the wedding and the baby!

Answer 7

You could just get a somewhat cheap one that fits for the cerimony and when the pregnancy is over and your finger is back to normal wear the original one.

Answer 8

Buy another plain gold band for the wedding, you'll wear it throughout your pregnancy and your following ones.

Answer 9

I agree with everyone who said to go to walmart or whatever and get a cheap one. You really probably don't want him to slip it on as far as it goes...you'll run the risk of it falling off and losing it, and after everything you've been through with the ring, you sure don't want that...

Answer 10

go buy a cheap ring from Claire's at the mall.  This will work until you have the baby.

Answer 11

I would recommend just having him fake it - slide it on until it stops.  Nobody will know the difference.  My joints sometimes swell from my arthritis, and so I'm a little concerned that my fiance won't be able to slide my ring on at the wedding.  I told him in advance to simply slide it as far as it goes and just stop.

Please don't worry about it.  You're marrying the man you love tomorrow!  Your finger is swollen because you're pregnant!  with his child!  It's not "perfect" but that's ok, really.  Just remember all the things that are wonderful about tomorrow.  Breathe.  It'll be ok - really.

Answer 12

Maybe get a cheap ring that fits for you to wear until you have the baby and can use your real ring? Either that or he slides it on as much as it can go.
