I always thought that men didn't wear them
because my dad never did

tell her that if she loves you so much she would go along with your wish not to wear one.

plus not having one for you will save you money

Agreed, my Dad never wore one either

unfortunatelt the, "if you love me" argument is admissable in exactly opposing directions!

it is, but I figure yours carries more weight
because it will actually affect your comfort, whereas hers is some stupid ethereal bollocks.

It's a Christian tradition though, isn't it?
My dad never wore a skull cap....

I must have missed at the World Media Meeting the part where only christians can wear wedding rings.

It's hardly like that
but none of the wedding ceremonies for Sikhs, Buddhists, Muslims, Jewish people, Zoroastrians, Shintoist etc traditionally have the exchange of rings as part of the ceremony - unlike Christians from whom it's a pivotal focal point of the marriage rites.

Thus a non-Christian not wearing a wedding ring is as unremarkable as, say, a white Geordie not wearing a turban...

You're quite wrong about that one....

weddings.iloveindia.com/indian-weddings/hindu-marriage/hindu-marriage-rituals.html
india.mapsofindia.com/culture/indian-weddings/muslim-wedding.html
...etc... just google "[religion] wedding ring".

It dates back way way way before Christianity existed.

Well fuck me
I'd genuinely no idea *stands corrected*

I've many friends of all faiths and only those from Christian families sport wedding rings. I still maintain that they're not the norm for other religions, though - I never said they were unheard of.

My Dad does...
...because my Mum would actually strangle him if he didn't. But my married siblings don't, including a sister. One brother thinks it feels weird, the other one is a manwhore and probably doesn't WANT people to know he's married. Sister says it makes her feel like someones property and if he's going to make her wear one, he should just put a tag saying "PROPERTY OF MIKE" round her neck.
