Wedding Rings and Honeymoon

We haven't really talked about this but I think we will likely leave ours at home. When I first had issues with my ring when he first purchased it I bought a cheaper version of my ring that I might bring. It only cost me $30 and is pretty much identical. We spent so much on our rings and have had so many issues with both my engagement and wedding band that we don't want to lose them.

I wish I had left mine at home!! We went to all beach locations so my rings lived in the hotel safe literally except for dinner when I would take them out and wear them! It seemed like a lot of unnecessary stress

Whatever you decide to do, make sure you have insurance, and know what the insurance covers.

My insurance covers accidental loss, and needs no proof of loss (some policies require proof...I'm not sure how you prove you lost something...).

It depends on where you go. Some people wear a different, inexpensive ring in place of their real rings.

Personally, I wore my own rings. I kept them in my hotel safe during the day and wore them out to dinner in the evening. There were TONS of women at our resort who had their rings on at all times- while swimming, hiking, ziplining. I wouldn't do that, but it's whatever you feel comfortable with.

I think I will be leaving mine at home since it is a custom piece. I would be afraid of losing it or having it stolen. I want to get some silicone rings but have to convince my husband lol

We’re absolutely going to leave the engagement ring at home. Will probably wear our wedding bands though.

We've crossed a couple of borders in Central America that were pretty intense. For that reason, we won't be bringing our rings - you spend so much on them, they'll safer at home!

We have already picked out our silicone rings ( www.ensorings.com ) as replacements. They'll come in handy when we go on hikes, camping and big trips!

I looked into multiple companies that have silicone bands but haven’t found one that have a size 20 plus.... My FH is a gentle giant with baseball mitts for hands so this could be an issue. If anyone finds a company that does silicone bands 20 plus let me know please.

Man, so many awesome ideas on this site. I have never heard of silicon rings before...I am going to have to look that up! I also never really thought of not wearing my rings on our honeymoon.

We will be wearing our rings! It feels wierd for me to take mine off so even though we will have a pretty adventurous honeymoon (backpacking europe for 2 months) i will wear it the whole trip. Its a flat band and pretty durable so im not concerned about it.
and my FH will be wearing his ring im sure. He has a necklace that he puts his ring on if he doesnt feel like wearing it.

I hadn't considered this actually, but I don't think I want to take my rings with me, now that I think about it. As we're going to a beach resort, and I tend to take my rings off when inside, it's probably better to leave them at home.

I like Courtney's idea of purchasing silicone rings. They are quite popular now anyway, so definitely a good idea.

I think it depends on the type of honeymoon you are doing!

We're doing a pretty adventurous honeymoon (Going to Indonesia where we're visiting several different islands there.. we're doing Organtan visits, scuba, snorkling, hiking through forests, etc etc.) so we don't want to bring our brand new beautiful rings. We're purchasing a set of silicone rings to take with us when we travel. There's only 30 dollars a piece and durable.
