As above
It kind of blew my mind a bit, I'm getting married in 6 months and I'm looking forward to it more than I've ever looked forward to anything.
I am marrying the perfect woman for me, there are no problems whatsoever, but when I put that ring on something strange happened, I looked at my own hand and it suddenly made me feel very old and very sensible and not in a good way...does anyone know what I mean? Is this normal????

Is it normal - Yes!
Try holding your own newborn kid in your arms - makes you feel (you should act) even older and more sensible...

I know what you mean. That's why I wear mine on waxed cotton around my neck. That and I think my finges are too short and stubby for rings.
You wear your ring on a piece of dental floss?
Wow. Thats an unusual set of emotions (in a good way). 😀
DrP I will report back to you on your thoughts above...
I tried mine on for the first time yesterday, getting married in December, definately felt weird, but in a good way.
Wait until you are standing alone at the top of the aisle. Your knees will start to wobble!
Feels odd taking mine off now, which I generally only do for kayaking and climbing.
I never wear my wedding ring. Can't stand rings. It's in a box in my pants drawer. I've got an excuse as it bangs against the fretboard 😉
If I take mine off now there's a permenant hollow in my finger, branded for life (no more slipping it off into my pocket when out and about).
Edit: reading that back, it sounds really sleazy.
Stop it. You'll set me off...
My most prized possession.
Apart from the wife. And the dog.
it's also my most prized possession too, along with the wife, and my 4 month old son.
I never take it off, and I've developed a strange habit of giving my (wedding) ring a kiss before I start my route on the MTB.
Good luck and all that.
I hate rings so never had one.

You need to get a really good fleece... that'll mess up you prized possessions list.
Mines stuck!
Yeah pretty normal to consider your life when you suddenly realise your one undeniable step closer to being a "grown up" (whatever that is).
I wear my ring all the time, but I do take it off at night and to wash my hands. It's just a symbol after all.
for a balanced perspective, i took mine off for good 7 years ago. nearly flicked it to its death off aguille du midi, then it was a keyring on my bike lock key. now it's lost somewhere. yesterday my ex wife's behaviour reminded me why it was a bad bad thing to start with. mleh
