She had died years before so I was determined to wear her engagement ring on my right hand and had it repaired/sized to fit that finger. I just stacked my engagement ring on top of it and slipped it back onto my left hand right before I walked back down the aisle. They are totally different styles and metals and didn't match at all but it was real quick and I'm VERY SURE no one noticed but me. It's amazing all the little details you kill yourself over that no one notices at all. <br /><br />I wore a fresh gardenia in my hair. I had another one stowed away as back up but it was a chilly June gloom day and it held up just fine.<br /><br />If you wanna do some thing different <a href="http://www.dressmefancy.com/" rel="nofollow">Fancy</a> has some fun hats.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01040185913128417005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-46834815444823071992011-12-15T18:44:30.692-08:002011-12-15T18:44:30.692-08:00On my wedding day, I wore my grandfather's rin...On my wedding day, I wore my grandfather's ring onmy left thumb.

And had a little sumthin-sumthin for her and others in the ceremony. THAT WAS IT ... until my dad mentioned her in his toast and I cried sad tears, which was not fun. <br /><br />YOU DON'T WANT TO CRY SAD TEARS.

Also, re:something not a veil.... I wrote into ESB with a similar dilemma and got a similar response. But it's okay, because the lady is so helpful in other departments, even if recommending alternative bridal head-wear is not her favorite thing to do. I took a lace applique from my mother's wedding dress, had a friend starch it and hand stitch it onto a pretty comb, and I wore it in my hair all day. Don't know if you have something like this to use, but feel free to steal the idea. It looked gorgeous, if I do say so myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-83922335817097383522011-12-15T10:17:33.698-08:002011-12-15T10:17:33.698-08:00Sorry sorry, lesson learned!

Ugh, that's a nightmare. Please don't do that.<br /><br />I don't quite understand why you wouldn't just wear it that day, as a ring. As someone else mentioned, you can get it resized to the finger you would normally wear it on. All these other ideas seem cute, but it's still a ring. Why wouldn't you just wear it as a ring? <br /><br />Also, 17 beats, you are my favorite.

It is too special and anything could happen.<br /><br />How about actually using her ring *in* the ceremony as the one your husbs places on your left finger? Then after the ceremony when just you and your guy are alone for 2 minutes, have him put your actual wedding band on your left hand and move your mom's ring to your right hand after moving your e-ring to your left hand. Sounds complicated, but hope it makes sense.<br /><br />We are doing that with my great-grandma's wedding band--It is tradition in our family that all the women get married with this 100 year old ring and then swap it for our actual wedding band after the ceremony.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-58697019099754368032011-12-15T08:46:33.117-08:002011-12-15T08:46:33.117-08:00@17 beats: you literally had me laughing here all ...@17 beats: you literally had me laughing here all by myself with your double linking. thank you, i needed that this morning!francinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-27428369763938755112011-12-15T08:34:19.235-08:002011-12-15T08:34:19.235-08:00Bouquet!Bouquet!Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997875522614810785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-72033311058942442712011-12-15T08:31:18.909-08:002011-12-15T08:31:18.909-08:00wear your mom's ring on your right hand.
