Ring on honeymoon

[Kacie_bride]

I just wanted to know if any of you were planning on leaving your ring home when you go on your honeymoon. I am thinking of leaving my ring at my parents in their safe because I do not want to take the chance of having it stolen. I know the hotel has a safe in the room, but I do not think I want to take that chance. I would probably not be wearing it all day on the beach or in the pool anyway. I may buy a cz just to wear in the evening.

[Valmai]

I never take mine off so if they wanna steal it then they take me too lol xxx

[brewsells]

I was thinking about the same thing, Kacie. Our room has a safe in it as well but I don't know if I want to risk it. But at the same time I want to wear it since we will just be married.

[cowboysbride]

I will wear them, and lock them up when we go to the beach, otherwise they will be on my finger.

[KristyGirl]

I never take my jewelry on vacation. I just feel safer leaving it at home. I have a plain gold band that I can wear if I feel the need, but the good stuff stays at home.

[Kacie_bride]

I want to have something to wear when we go out for dinner or to the bar in the evening so that is why I think I am going to just buy a nice cz to wear.

[CindySue]

I took mine with me. I didnt even think about stuff like that. But then again, I wasnt doing anything that required me to take it off.

[SoontobeMrsClark07]

I want to take mine with me on the honeymoon. Our pool will be in the courtyard of our villa and we will be able to see into the room so I'm not worried about that. I wont wear it to the beach but I will lock it in the safe. We're not going off the resort so I dont have to worry about that either.

[mariaandmanish]

I'm taking mine. I plan on wearing it all the time. The only time I'll take it off is to go swimming, and I have a chain that i'll put it on then. If you could wear a small chain during your honeymoon, then you don't have to worry about leaving it in the room safe.

[asm198]

I'll probably leave the engagement ring at home and just wear a fake or the wedding band only. I don't wear my ring when I do anything that might destroy it, so I wouldn't feel safe leaving it in the hotel. Not because I'm afraid it will get stolen, but because I don't want to lose it.

I don't want to wear it on a chain because I would not get in the water with it.

[WhiskeyGirl]

I took mine with me. Every time we went swimming I put it in my wallet and purse then put the purse back into my suitcase and then locked my suit case. 10 days in Hawaii and I still have both my rings and so does Matthew. Just remember that as long as you are going to a GOOD hotel these people are bonded and would not want to lose their jobs over stealing from the guests. An inroom safe is a very reliable thing but can be costly. Besides, if you get creative on where you put it....I mean who is going to look in a pair of socks for your rings?? Lol. Lock your suitcase and more then likely no problems!!!

[WhiskeyGirl]

I don't want to wear it on a chain because I would not get in the water with it.

I wouldn't do that either because chains can break so easily! :)

[AngelinLove]

We aren't going on a honeymoon!!! Atleast not right after the wedding...but if we did I would probably wear it!!!

[LizabethDavis]

My rings will be coming with me to the UK!!! I wouldn't dream of leaving them here....and I don't believe I will be taking them off at all..

[ikkin510]

I've thought about leaving them behind. I have a scratch in my e-ring and they said it will take abotu a week to get it fixed. So I might have my MOH drop it off at the jewlery before she leave the next day and it should be finished by the time we get back. But I would probably still wear the wedding band. I would go crazy having a "naked" finger for a week!

just a couple of ?

1. Why get a ring your sceard to wear or sceard to have it stolen
2. Why get something that cant not stand up to day to day life since yout ering and wedding band should never leave you hand.

1. I am not scared to wear my ring in every day life. I am taking the same sort of precautions I see fit to the other things in my life. I am not paranoid of having my car broken into just because I lock it. I like all my nice jewelry and I do not leave it around in hotel rooms. I have known several people that had their stuff stolen from their hotels rooms in upscale places.

2. It can stand up to every day life, but there are precautions that one must take to have it last and continue looking good. The extent to those precautions are subject to personal choice.

3. I disagree that your wedding band should never leave your hand. That is a personal choice. I know many people with happy marriages, that have lasted for years, that never wear their wedding bands. The value of your marriage has nothing to do with the ring on your finger.

I am not afraid of my ring being stolen, I am afraid I will lose it. I would be very upset if something happened to it, just as I would with any other piece of jewelry that is special to me.

I am very hard on jewelry. My ring can probably stand up to day to day like, but I figure there is no reason to wear it when there is a slight possibility that it will be broken or destroyed. I don't plan on doing an 'upgrade' on my ring on any anniversary, so this ring will have to withstand 50+ years of my abuse. I intend on keeping it in the best shape I possibly can.

As far as it not leaving your hand, I take my ring off fairly often. I don't shower with it, wash my hands with it, or put lotion on. I also take it off when I'm doing something that might be dangerous. For instance, we are currently remodeling our bathroom. I am working with power tools, dismantling plumbing and drywall. I don't wear my ring when I am doing anything like that. I simply will not take a chance of damaging my ring by wearing it while I do these things. You probably didn't mean it this way, but I don't believe that my not wearing my ring all the time means that I don't believe in the sanctity of my future marriage. And neither does my fiance. :)

[KristyGirl]

I'm certainly not scared to wear my rings or have them stolen. Fact of the matter is, they're a half size too big and slip off constantly. I wouldn't risk having them fall off while swimming in the ocean, to be lost forever. My fault for not getting them resized, I suppose, but my wedding band can't be and I'm too lazy to get my e-ring done lol.

[LaceyinPgh]

I take jewelery with me on vacation all the time. Heck, I'm on vacation right now and just took off my pearls and wedding rings. When I leave the hotel anything that I have is locked in the safe. Like Shawna said if you are staying at a decent hotel you have nothing to worry about. If something comes up missing the first people they are going to look at will be the people who are in your room. Those people aren't going to take the chance that they might get away with it. Besides, hotel safes are hard to crack. I have never worried about it.

On our homeymoon neither of us wore our wedding rings. During the day we were in the pool all day. At night, it was hot and humid so my hands swelled and I saw no point of purposefully making myself uncomfortable.

By the way, all of you should have a rider to your homeowners or renters insurance to cover your ring. That way if it every gets damadted, lost, or stolen, it can easily be replaced.

[WhiskeyGirl]

I was thinking about insurance too! I know I have it and if anything were to happen to my rings they would be covered by insurance. Also, Matt and I were talking about the safes in these hotel rooms, do you think someone would take the time to try and break into them risking that at any moment the occupant of the room might come back?? I really don't think so. All in all it's your choice on what you do. I don't know Anyone who has ever had anything stolen while staying in a hotel and I'm included in that and I've stayed in upwards of 50 hotels. So it's all what you are comfortable with!! :)

[Kacie_bride]

I have known people in decent hotels who have had things stolen, albeit not things in a safe. I am just going to leave my real jewelry at home. I would have it insured, but we do not own our home and we do not have renter's insurance.

[asm198]

Hotel break-ins shouldn't happen, but I can't say they haven't happened. Although, I can say I've ever had one happen in any of the hotels I've worked in. I was always very diligent in who I gave room keys to. No id? No room key. Not on the reservation and the person on the reservation didn't give me instructions to give you a key? No room key.

People thought I was being mean to them and many have gotten pretty hostile, but I maintained that position for this very reason. I don't want to be the one responsible for things being stolen out of room because I gave a key to someone I shouldn't have.

And, off topic, those of you who are staying in hotels during your honeymoon, please keep this in mind. The people at the front desk aren't trying to be mean. We are only trying to protect you. I do suggest that people put the rooms under both names, yours and your husbands. That way, if one of you needs to get in the room without the other and the other has the room key, you won't be hassled.

Oh yes, our hotel is under both of our names! :)

[asm198]

Kacie, you wouldn't believe how many people put hotel rooms under only one name and then get upset when we won't give them a room key. They tell us that they are so and so's husband/wife and need a key because they are staying with them, but my computer shows only one name, with one occupant. In that instance, ethically, I literally CAN'T give them a key, whether it's a legit thing or not.

And people get so upset. And I understand being upset, but it's my job to protect the people staying in my hotel. In certain circumstances, I have given room keys out, but only if the person asking for one shows me id with a matching last name and can rattle off the address that is shown and why the person is in town. And that's only if we've tried a few times to get the guest on the phone. And really, I've only done that if the guest is apart of a convention, wedding, or special event being held in town and I know the guest is apart of that.

So, kudos to you! Believe me, the hotel folks will appreciate it! I know I did. You name it, I've had it thrown at me. Once, I had a gentlemen, who shall not be named, but is a pro athlete, throw a cup of hot coffee at me. Because apparently I had the nerve to leave his bill under his door and he was overcharged a dollar a night. And when I found this out, I was more than happy to adjust his bill. However, I was ducking hot coffee instead.

(I know I'm totally off topic and I appologize!)

I understand how people can be. I worked in the retail business for a few years and I had people threaten me, shake their fingers at me, yell, stomp, scream, accuse me of things, you name it. I always try to keep that in mind when dealing with anyone in the service industry.

[asm198]

Same here. I am about the most laid back person in the world when it comes to customer service. My only exception is when I stay in hotels that use the same system I used when I was in hotels. I get a tiny bit testy when they tell me they can't do things I know the system can. But I'm never rude. I usually walk them through it. I can't seem to help that, though. I've been a trainer on a certain system way too long.

In fact, the only time I was ever rude to a service employee was at the post office. I was buying stamps and my debit card was on its last legs, but I was due to get one within the next couple of weeks. The magnetic strip was barely peeling off and I told the lady to punch in the numbers, not swipe the card. She completely ignored me and proceded to swipe the card about 7 times. I told her repeatedly to stop, that the card wouldn't read, but she didn't listen. Finally, I snapped at her to give me my card this instant. She stopped at least, which was my goal.

I asked her to please type the number in and she said she didn't know how to do that. I tried to tell her how, because I knew they used the same system we did. So, she called her manager and told him I was trying to steal stamps. I asked him to enter the number in, because the strip was toast, and there was no issue. I felt so bad I appologized to the girl when it was all done. And left the store with a card that now had no magnetic strip at all. She had ripped it completely off.

Having coffee thrown at you is no fun! I've had that and other things thrown at me and never has it been my fault! Gotta love customers eh!! I once had a drunk guy try and jump a counter to come after me...yeah that was scary!! lol

The people I get the most irritated with are fast food workers! Sometimes I don't know where they find these people. One day I drove through Jack-in-the-Box and I said my order number and before I could specify how I wanted it she said very quickly, "small, med, or large." That irritated me because I had hardley finished saying the number. Then I told her how I wanted it and I guess she had already turned the speaker off by that point. I'm sorry if I have to breath between words. Of course my order was screwed up and then she proceeded to tell me I did not tell her how I wanted my order! Some people!

My rings will be coming with me to the UK!!! I wouldn't dream of leaving them here....and I don't believe I will be taking them off at all..

What all will you be doing in the UK?

[Jacklynn]

I will be wearing mine, but only when we go out for dinner and stuff, I won't be wearing it on the beach
