But she did get a matching wedding band and a wedding to match her/our economic situation (poor). I will tell (warn) my sons regarding your daughters. Ouch – my wife has no engagement ring.

My engagement would not have been nearly as exciting without Jamie. :) And if there was to be no wedding, I totally agree. Jamie would cry. AND her daughter would know enough to cry, too. Loved this analogy. It's 'sticky'. One of my all time favorite pictures (which you took, I believe) is of Jamie catching her first glimpse of my ring.

So pretty, I just keep looking at them. Second, you're so right, but I've never thought about it in that way before. I would get pretty jealous if my husband decided not to wear his ring anymore! Why wouldn't I want to participate and even be committed to participating in the sacraments in the same way that I am to wearing my ring? First off, I just have to say how beautiful the girls are!

You may say the vows and mean them, but the public acknowledgement of those vows, baptism, and the Lord's supper all are symbols of us affirming our faith in Christ. That is what gets us through the "for better or for worst".
