well those pictures are difficult to remove from the mind...well my father and mother had theyre wedding done in the church but it was just them and the preacher and my father works alot around machinery so he specifically told my mother to not get him a ring. he doesnt wear a ring to this very day of being married 20some-odd-years. i have a ring i wear and i take it off every time i do anything that involves: heat, metal, fast moving objects and rotating objects. so i hardly wear my ring at all.....
