Is it the exact same ring? That is pretty weird.. I mean, I don't really know if you're supposed to be mad but its definitely annoying and strange
No you're not weird, that's odd. Does she wear it everyday? Are you going to add a wedding band once you are married? At least maybe then it will be different from hers. I would not be excited about this. Sorry!
Wow I'd be pissed! That might sound like I'm overreacting... but in my particular situation, my FMIL would be doing it as a passive-aggressive way to piss me off. Blah.
Either way, I think it's odd! I'm sorry girl :(
Yeah, that's weird... and you have a right to at least be frustrated. Do you have a good relationship with your FMIL?
I'm not mad and I have only seen her use it once, but well.. I don't know. It feels weird.
Yes, it's the same ring. It's a pretty unique ring so it's noticable.
This is the pic from the jewller's website.
I was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt by thinking it was a plain band or something, but that ring is very unique.. and yes, that's kind of weird that she bought the exact same ring.. In her defense, it is a very pretty ring and if I saw one of my friends with it I may want one too! By your FMIL.. knowing it's your e-ring.. uhh..
Sorry that your FMIL chose to do this.. weird..
What does your FI think?
@Miss Fish: Yes, we have a great relationship. I'm sure she didn't buy it to piss me off or anything.
@CaliforniaLove: FI just laughed it off.
I should add that in Iceland e-rings are not as big of a deal as in America, so he's not being completely heartless not getting weird about the ring with me. Traditionally in Iceland people just buy wedding bands as e-rings and use them on as their wedding bands.
@angela85: Well, if you have a great relationship with FMIL and your FI, I would just take it as a compliment. She just saw your beautiful ring and wanted one as well. Hopefully she'll continue to just wear it once in a while..
Enjoy your beautiful e-ring!
I think it's really weird. I can understand why you'd be upset.
I find it strange as well. Since you mentioned that you're in Iceland and E-rings have a different meaning, perhaps she really had no idea that it was a special ring (I know, I'm grasping at straws here). Just even more strange to me that you two have a great relationship - why on Earth would she want to have the same ring, unless she really didn't have a clue of its importance?
@angela85: I love your ring! Do you mind if I ask the jeweler not so I can get the same ring, but so I can see what else they have? I have a stunt double, so I'm always looking at rings which are also a good deal.
If that happened to me, I'd be weirded out, but I think I'd be okay with it... It really is odd of her to buy the exact same ring her son just proposed with, though.
@CaliforniaLove: Well, they say that imitation is the best form of flattery. So I'm just going to call it that.
@milesbella: She really might have just forgotten what my ring looks like. I think that is the most likely scenario.
@TheFutureMcBride: Thank you, I love it too. Their website is http://siggaogtimo.is/.
The ring catagory is "Hringar".
@angela85: Granted I can't read anything, but I love the jewelry. Thanks!
Yeah...there is NO way I would let this one pass. If I were you I would tell FI that he can either buy you a different ring or tell his mother that this was a completely tactless thing for her to do and that she should return it. Do you really want him to see your ring and think "Just like my mom" or vice versa? I am not one to cause trouble but to me this looks like a pretty passive aggressive move on her side.
Well this is diffrent but my Grandmother's mother had a similar ring to hers. My Grandparents were already married, and for their anniversary my Great- Grandfater bought my Great- Grandmother the same ring (just had a bigger stone set in it). Then she hated it now that her mother and father are gone she loves that they shared such an amazing bond. I would take it as a compliment, she obviously loves your ring.
I was thinking that too! Looks like mama doesn't want to give up her baby boy to any other woman.
Totally within your rights to be bothered...I would find that to be sooo strange.

I've been engaged now for almost 18 months and therefore had my ring for as long. It's not an expensive ring. It cost about the equivalent of $100. I don't care, but I think it's a bit important for this vent.
This Christmas my FMIL exchanged a gift for a ring that is exactly like mine!! She actually chose the ring herself and decided to get the same ring as my e-ring. We see each other almost daily so it's not that she could have forgotten or something.. Am I weird to be bothered by this?
