Is it bad luck to wear w-band before wedding?

[luckystar112]

I got mine in the mail yesterday and I haven''t taken it off since. Is this bad luck? I just like it so much! I even like the gap between my e-ring and the band. How do I take this thing off and not be tempted to put it back on?????

 

[Maisie]

I don''t believe in bad luck. Enjoy your sneaky little chances to wear it!!

 

[musey]

Nah

I'm putting off buying mine until the LAST safe minute, and giving it directly to FI to keep it away from me... because I know otherwise I'll wear it constantly. I think it'll be fun to save it for the wedding, though, so I want him to keep it from me!!

I wore mine every time I was alone in my apt (and over at my BFF's apt, too, actually) for about 6 mos. BFF thought it was weird and convinced DH that when we were a month out, no more ring for me. It was a good move - I took my e-ring back to the jeweler and had it re-plated and I had the w-band cleaned, and then I wore a .10 diamond birthstone ring up until the day of the wedding. Oh man did my rings feel fabulous on my wedding day! So - the short answer is wear it as much as you darn well please! But maybe take a mini-hiatus right before the big day so it still feels special

ETA: I haven't checked in SMTR, but are there pics?!?!

I don''t think it''s bad luck, either! I wore mine for a couple of days to make sure it was exactly what I wanted (since I only had 14 days to return/exchange).

Nah I don''t believe in bad luck. I did the same thing. Hubby had given it to me for safe keeping. I loved trying it on, never wore it out though.

Nope! It''s good to wear it around for a few days to make sure it fits and is comfy. FI did that, then didn''t want to take it off! It was very sweet. And I wore mine day and night in Peru since I didn''t want to take my diamond along (duh), but still wanted to be ''marked territory'' (heehee).

BUSTED!!!!!

 

[Snooper]

Nah, not bad luck. I did the same and am still happily married. Enjoy!

I don''t believe in bad luck. For the 2 weeks from getting the ring to getting them in the safe at the bank, I wore it at home as much as I could. When my FI was not home of course, because he believes it''s bad luck. Silly man.

 

[Fly Girl]

Well, I know I didn''t wear it out until after we were married. I don''t see anything wrong with wearing it around home.

I wore mine for a day or two before my wedding and I have been very happily married for 15 years!

Enjoy it! It is fun seeing a wedding ring on your hand for the first time.

I don''t think it is bad luck at all but I waited (expect for quickly trying it on for size). If your FI is okay with it go for it.

lol I was wondering where this thread was. I thought I posted it in BWW, but it probably fits better here.
So, yeah. I got my ring yesterday morning and haven''t taken it off since. And then I called our cable company and pretended to be Mrs. Luckystar!!! haha. What''s wrong with me?
I definitely need to take this thing off and wait until it''s official.

p.s. No pics yet! UGH I was so excited to take pics too. Basically, we keep our camera''s battery charger plugged into a socket in our computer room......and.....it''s missing! A ghost must have taken it. And our camera is dead, so we need to go buy another charger. I''m going to go tomorrow and get one. I don''t even know if you can buy the charger separate, but we''ll see.

Maybe you can imagine it until tomorrow when I take a pic. It''s a white gold seven stone band, .41ctw, so I guess all the stones are around 6 pointers, they are all H colored, and what David (from diamonds by lauren) described as SI3. But all the stones are completely eye clean and the ring was a complete steal. I am actually very happy with what I got in an e-ring and wedding band with our budget. What else? I think the stones are shared prong...(shared pronged? share pronged?)

 

[krisvrn]

no it''s not bad luck.

 

[Sparkles22]

I don''t think it''s bad luck. I didn''t "wear" mine until after I was married... but I did "try it on" an aweful lot LOL!

 

[bee*]

I don''t believe in bad luck either-I''ve tried mine on so many times!
