Jon and I have never owned traditional wedding rings for various reasons, some involving money and the fact that I don’t like to wear jewelry unless I’m dressing up for a specific occasion. Like say, to impress my mother. Or maybe on that official trip to Target. So I buy “wedding rings” all the time, including this lovely, oversized peach-colored ring that I bought for $3.99 at Forever 21. It goes with both my gold and silver earrings, and gives me something to fidget with when my father asks Jon how he feels about gay marriage.
