Substitue For A Wedding Ring? by emofine(f): 9:32am On Oct 18, 2011
I perceive not every married couple wear a wedding ring as a symbol of their union whether due to personal choice or culture etc . . . I was thus wondering in the absence of a ring what other means is there to convey a matrimony?

[size=14pt]Ring na piece of jewelry na! Na the fastest way to tell pesin say u don marry! No be everybodi go see u for road dey ask whether you don marry or not. na just to look your finger, and dem go know! in the absentia of the ringing, i no tink say another means dey, unless you write am for ya head! cool[/size]

My question is not: without a wedding band what other means does a married couple show others that they are married (that is not what I was curious about) . . . I meant what symbol do those without a ring employ as a seal of their union . . . for example I've heard of a couple that got a matching tatoo instead of rings oh and I read one time where a christian couple decided that a new set of bibles will pose as their wedding rings.

I'm not asking what other means one conveys their matrimony to outsiders just what other emblem other than a ring can also signify union-ship.

For me if I didn't get a wedding band it would either be matching engraved bracelets or matching lockets with our pictures inside.

my brain likes asking questions abeg leave am oh angry. . .but I don't think the question is that weird, I for one (if I was to be married) will choose not to wear a ring and I do believe it's quite a common occurrence at least depending on one's culture in often cases.

The Akorinos>>The woman must wear a shash on top of her clothes to show that she is married

The masai>>The Bridal Necklace

The inkarewa is a ring of leather attached to a rectangular piece that hangs down from the front. Both the ring and the rectangle are completely covered with colorful beads, and beaded strings hang down from the chest.


Married women in some regions of Asia,wear golden nose rings. The bigger the size the more important one is. undecided

plus more depending on culture.

Wow that lady must be really really important shocked - it looks like a bangle. I do like the idea of having a ring on the nose instead of on the finger though.

However I love the bridal necklace belonging to the masai bride.
Re: Substitue For A Wedding Ring? by pendo89(f): 1:27pm On Oct 18, 2011
^ Yeah must be the chief's wife. But that's too much.
The masai necklace have meaning too. For each son that becomes a moran (from boy to man) the mother must add a necklace.
So the more sons you have the more necklaces you wear and it signifies your status in the society as well.just like the indian lady above.
The look beautiful though.

I dunno aura?  My aunt and uncle are like that.  No wedding bands or rather they don't wear it but if you see them, you'll know they are married.  There's this connection between them.  I like the tattoo one.

Oh that is really interesting. . . so instead of having a fixed symbol signifying a matrimony the emblem used to convey one's union among the Masai can be supplemented. . . and the wedding band is not only a recognition of a couples oneness but also the evidence of male sons . . . intriguing. . .a wedding band not only honouring the birth of a couple but the children thereafter (well at least the male children).

My Indian co-workers don't wear wedding rings (and I've also noticed that the Asians here in general do not wear wedding rings)

I finally asked one of them about it. She said in their culture they don't wear rings, instead they were a chain around their neck and that is what identifies them as married. However the men do not wear any identifiers. "Unfair!" I said while laughing, she laughed and replied "yeah, that's the way it is". And also they don't take their husbands last name (I forget whose name they take now) but when they have kids, the kids get named after the FIL or something like that. Very confusing. lol.

I'm sure the modernized new generation of younger Indians will adopt the western culture of rings.

I do not think wearing a ring is absolutely necessary.

Homosapiens. Always trying to complicate simple things. How about wrist watches that blink red when the couple are in close proximity.
Re: Substitue For A Wedding Ring? by koolJ1(f): 1:55am On Oct 19, 2011
Um. . .i think d 'heart connection' is d best reminder a couple ll have as regards their union. Husbands/wife cheats blatantly wit their rings on but wit d 'heart connection',respect for one's spouse becomes overpowering
