    I'm trying to decide whether or not to wear my nose ring for the wedding.  I don't want the hole to close up (I'd only take it out for the wedding day, not permanently) , and I'm not sure how visible the hole is when I'm not wearing it.  My mom has asked if I am going to wear it with the indication that while it's my choice, she probably would not.  My Fiance however says he can't imagine me not wearing it.  I've had it for 7 years now, and I never take it out except to change which ring is in or to clean it.  I'm in a profession where alternative jewelry is acceptable (is a nose ring still really even considered alternative?!?).  I usually wear pretty unobtrusive studs with a little sparkle and people sometimes don't even see it unless it catches the light. It would show up in close-up photographs though.  Anyway, what do you all think?  If you have any extra facial jewelry are you wearing it or discarding it for W-day?

    I think you should wear it.  Your FI obv wants you to, and you seem like you really want to wear it.

    I used to have a nose stud and I LOVED IT, I too just wore a tiny little stud that you barely notice  and I thought it was super cute. However I took it out when i became a hockey coach over 4 years ago.

    I think if i were in your position i would leave it in. Mainly because even 4 years later now, you can still see the hole in photos from where the nose ring was. I would rather have photos with the stud in than a hole :-) Just a thought!!!

    I have a nose ring and a lip stud and I'm flaunting both in my dress. They're part of my personal style and I'm not going to cover it up.

    I have one ear pierced top to bottom and I always wear studs in it - adn thats just what i did for my wedding day.  Do they show in every photo?  Nope. Do they show in some and did I feel like me?  YUP!  (I took them all out once for a dance show and several people looked at me and couldnt put their finger on it, but said i jsut didnt look like me - i put my earrings back in and they all exclaimed that while they are so small and unobtrusive, I just look not like me without them.)  And as for the grandkids - you are who you are now. Grandkids are going to point and laugh at our hair, our dresses, our veils or hairflowers etc.  What is in now wont be in 30 years - be who you are now with no worries.  (just my opinion)

    Oh - and if you want uber formal traditional photos without the ring, switch sides so it doesnt show!  Or photoshop it out.

    I have the exact same thing and have asked myself the same question an? I am WEARING it! :) You know what? I love it. Plus, its a little blue stud so it counts as my something blue heh. I think it is very "me" and I'd feel weird without it. 

    I am, however, going to make the photographer aware that I would like some close up shots from both sides of me so that I have some with and some without it.

    Excellent advice everyone.  I think I will wear it - I'd feel funny without it in.  

     

    @ Corgi - I have a blue stud in my collection, I love the idea of it being my something blue!

    I think you should wear it. It sounds like it is part of who you are, and you want to be able to look back at your photos and feel like you are looking at "you" and not a photoshopped version of who everyone else expects you to be! :)

    I think nose studs are really cute (I prefer the itsy tiny ones) but I don't have one because I think my nose is kinda big for one... but I digress. Yes, wear it :)

    I love the idea of it being your something blue! You should definitely wear it. I asked my sister to take hers out for my wedding (she offered) b/c I felt it didn't go with our wedding style, but this is *your* wedding, and *your* style, so wear it!

    You should wear it.  I've had mine for about the same amount of time so I didn't want to take it out.  In fact, if you look at my wedding pictures, the light never really caught it so you don't see it in any of the pictures!

    Psh, if you want to wear it, wear it. I'm sure there will be enough pictures with it not included that you won't potentially regret it later on.

    I'm getting a kick out of how all the comments are pro-wearing it, but the poll is split 50/50 right now.  lols.  I guess I'm not the only one who votes without commenting on the poll questions ...

    Definitely wear it. If it's something that's a part of what you wear every day, you're going to want to feel like "you" on your wedding day!!

    If it's really small and unobtrusive, I don't see any reason why you should take it out. FBIL's girlfriend has one and I didn't even notice until the third time I met her. ;) It looks like a freckle to me, honestly, and for something that small, why bother taking it out?

    If it's part of who you are (your personal everyday style) then keep it in. If you change your appearance to please others, you will have regrets in the end. When you pick up your photo album in the future, you will wonder why you changed your appearance.

    My FI said the EXACT same thing when I asked him about my nose ring!  "You'd look weird without it."  So, I'm leaving mine in, although my parents hate it.  Smile

    Definitely wear it! My fiance has a lip stud and I wouldn't want him to take it out since it's part of who he is (I end up kissing it every day!)

    I have one, and I LOVE it!

    I think you should wear it... it's you at this moment in your life. Plus it adds a little more sparkle ;]
