    I recently moved down south but am from NYC so we are getting married in NYC b/c all of our family is there.  We are getting married on a Sat. and leaving for our honeymoon on that Monday to Mexico.  I don't know what to do with my rings.  I can't leave them home and I don't wan to leave them with family in NY b/c we are flying back down south after the honeymoon.

    Why don't you take them with you on your honeymoon?  I wouldn't leave them in the hotel, but if you're wearing them, they should be perfectly safe.  And of course, make sure they're both insured before your trip if they aren't already.

    O Lord honey, take them! I don't see a reason to leave them, just don't take them off and leave them in the room! If your room has a safe, you could maybe lock them in that but honestly, just getting married there's no way my rings are leaving my finger!! Bring on the tanline from the sun!!

    Yeah, take it with you on your honeymoon.  Don't you want to show everyone  you rings when you tell them you are newlyweds??

    Definitely take them with you and I would make sure that your room has a safe for when you are swimming, etc. :)

    If you are really not feeling taking them with you, could you find some ring stand in's? There are some great selections on Amazon for both men and women that are super cheap and that way if they are lost or stolen on your honeymoon it isn't a big deal. Perhaps if you really want to get married with your rings you could leave them with your family and have them shipped back home (with insurance) and wear the fakes on the honeymoon.

    Wear them.  I debated as well as we were going to Africa and then to the beach and I was afraid of losing one in the water.  We made sure they were insured, which we needed to do anyway, and I was so glad I wore them- especially since so many people notice them after finding out you're on your honeymoon.

    Take them with you. If you're doing something that you're worried about losing them, leave them in the safe if your hotel has one.

    When we went to Mexico, I was worried about losing my engagment ring while playing in the waves in the ocean so I just locked it up in our safe and it was fine.

    I wore mine and took them with me.  I think I only took them off once during the honeymoon when we got massages and I left them in the safe in our room.

    Wear them!  If you're worried about swimming or something, put them in the room safe.

    IF they are insured, I would wear them!

    On our honeymoon, I wore my rings, as did most other women.  I remember meeting a couple from Michigan and the woman was SO sad because she chose not to wear her rings and they were celebrating their honeymoon.  She kept telling me how sad she was to be without them while she looked around at all the other married ladies' bling.

    I"m not sure why you wouldn't wear them... are you worried about losing them or going to an un-safe area?  What's the point of having rings if not to be on your finger?  I wear mine all the time, and I travel extensively, in the Caribbean, Mexico, wherever.  They are insured, and I would not consider being without them.  Rock that bling girl!!!

    I'm nervous to travel with my rings too. I dunno why, I know nothing will happen to them but still. My Uncle once lost his wedding ring when they went to the beach - he replaced it with another one but still...  I think I'll be buying a fake set like the ones you see in the costume jewelry counter at Macy's or something to bring on our honeymoon just so I'm not constantly afraid of losing them.

    Is there someone you can trust to bring them back to SC for you? A friend or coworker you're really close to?

    I would wear them. After all, it's a symbol of your love for one another - show the world!

    I would definitely get the rings insured and wear them on the honeymoon.

    I would get a safe deposit box in a bank where you live. I would never take anything on a trip with me. You never know where you might end up. I have friends that had stuff taken from their room. I don't trust anyone.

    If you want to show people you are married, get a fake one :) and don't worry about it.

    I'd just wear it, but make sure it's insured. If you have an apprasial from your jeweler that's all you'll need for the insurance to add it. I think my ring + engagement ring only added $20 to our annual insurance payment. A solid investment in case I should lose my ring.
