OT, IM DECLARING THIS DAY THE WORST DAY EVER.

[luv2bmommy]

my wedding ring is laying at the bottom of the stupid ocean.

i loved that ring, and my husband is underway so he doesnt know and i dont want to tell him by email. i always twist it on my finger, and i am ALWAYS very careful with it, until today. Jetskiing for the first time, wasnt expecting to fall off. I didnt even think i could i am so STUPID. I broke down and sobbed for 15 minutes in front of a large group of friends until everyone decided that it was the end of the day. i lost my beautiful ring and i ruined everyones day and i probably broke my husbands heart. im not sure how he will take it. my friend said he would probably buy me another one later but i dont want another one...thats the one he put on my finger. my heart hurts!


please please please tell me someone, that i am not the only wife that has done this! i just cant believe it.

I am sure you are more upset with yourself than your hubby will be at you.  I know with my ring I always twist it around my finger too and when I didnt wear it when I was preggo I felt like something was missing all the time.  Many people lose their rings....I even know a guy that lost his ring while out in the ocean and didnt tell his wife about it.  He went out and bought the same ring and scuffed it all up.  LOL, why he didnt want to tell her I will never know why!
However it truly ***** and if I ever lost my ring I would probably dwell on it for a long time, even if it was replaced.  So you have every right to be upset....and yes it is just a ring, but I am sure every married person is attached to the rings they got married with.

Maybe if you get another ring, you can have a mini ceremony with just you two...where you can say something special and place each other rings on your fingers.  So the ring will also hold some sort of special meaning or memory.

Im sure your DH wont get upset, especially if he see's how bad you feel for it happening at all. I know when I first lost mine I bawled my eyes out to him because I was both very upset over being so stupid lol and I was scared that he would be pissed lol. He seen how hard I was crying and instantly held me, he even went as far as cutting a piece of yarn and tying it around my finger until my new ring came in lol.

Im sure your DH will understand, it's not like you just dumped it out in the ocean because the rock wasnt big enough or something lol. Just remember even though the ring is gone, you still have your hubby and im sure everything will be okay.

yes you are not the only one that this has happened to it happened to one of my friends right after she got engaged she took it off before she went to the bathroom and it fell off the sink and she watched it as she flushed it down the toilet...it actually happened to a few people that i know...dont feel bad its just material it could have been much worse!!!! he'll understand.

You are not the only one dont worry he will understand.... I wish you the best of luck.....

[luv2bmommy]

yeah, i dont think he will be mad either. maybe just a little irritated at first (partly because of the cost). but at the end of the day we do still have each other, im sure in our life together we will have to ride out way worse things than this!!! i feel a little better.

Atia_Julii- WOW, lol that story sure tops mine. did she cry her eyes out or what!?
jet skis are EVIL, im never getting on another one. I fell off twice and i never knew water could be so hard. I wasnt even aware until I got to the shore and looked. its like my heart stopped. i can just see it down there now, in the darkness. i wonder how many wedding rings are down there! i mean look at that necklace from the Titanic! I bet theres a fortune in the ocean...never thought about it till now

[sweetangel7]

What a bummer! I'd be heart broken too!!!!!  I'm sure your husband won't be mad at you, if he is really sentimental, he might be sad that the ring that was part of your wedding is gone, but I don't think he'll be mad =)  

[Atia_Julii]

You are definitely not the only one.  My friends got engaged out on a boat in the ocean, and the DAY of their engagement, my friend lost the ring she had just received THAT very day.

Of course the ring meant the world to you, but remember, it's just a symbol for the love you two share for each other, and you still have that love to hold on to.  Hang in there.

[luv2bmommy]

thank you both, i cant wait till i can feel better about it! i dont think mine was insured. but ill ask my husband. I had a friend out there that said she was sorry, but she did say it was just a ring and when we die we couldnt take it with us and i know. but still! i was sooo emotionally attached to it! i would still look at it and think about that day...:*(

im glad yall care! i hope my husband knows how badly i hurt about this and doesnt get mad at me. BTS if yours didnt maybe mine wont! i hope he doesnt, its hard enough as it is

[BTS1022]

awww sweetie! You are def. not the only wife who has done something like that. I have lost 2 wedding rings in the past year. The first time I lost it I was washing my car and I actually left the ring in the washing stall. I went back and of course someone claimed it so I never got it back. The second time I lost my ring was when I was doing dishes. I set the ring aside on the counter to wash dishes, and instead of rinsing the soap off my hands before touching my ring, I was an idiot and went to pick it up with soapy fingers and down the drain it went and we never got it back.

Thankfully hubby had insured my original ring with a lifetime warranty(sp), so they always were able to send the same ring back in a few months.

Hubby wasn't mad at all, accidents happen all the time, and im sure your DH will understand. And as far as your friends go, if you ruined their day then they are losers, if I was there I would atleast comfort you in some way, other than telling you to deal with it.

oooooohhhhhh no! I haven't done it, but I do feel totally terrible for you!!! I know some people say it's just a ring, but I know exactly what you mean - almost like it's a part of your hubby he gave to you........I'm so sorry....it will get better though!
