We did not even get anything. For what is a ring even meant to be? To mark your partner, that he is yours?

- K0balt 1y agoNo, that’s what the subcutaneous tracking chip is for. lol. But seriously, for us it matters, since she is much younger than I am. We make an effort to signal that we are a committed couple so that people don’t make crass assumptions. Still, my ring is tungsten carbide and hers is a family wedding band handed down in my family for generations. Our engagement ring was also a family heirloom. In that way the rings have meaning. She likes to wear her ring because she feels like it is a symbol of belonging, and I wear mine to honor our relationship. To us, the rings are symbolic of our vows, a gentle reminder that our lives are in service of one another.
