Wedding Ring Significance For Me ……[ Yeah, A 'love Poem' Of Sorts, Even Though ' I Don't Care Much For Love Poems '; My Fourth Time ‘around'; True; Personal] Poem by Bri Edwards
Wedding Ring Significance For Me ……[ Yeah, A 'love Poem' Of Sorts, Even Though ' I Don't Care Much For Love Poems '; My Fourth Time ‘around'; True; Personal]
I don't know what couples say now as they get married.
I suppose, over the ‘ages', it has …..somewhat varied.
'With this ring I thee wed' …..comes to my mind right now.
But, I'm not sure it was part of any of my (four-marriage) ‘vows'.
Each time I've 'taken the plunge' and into a marriage I dived,
it never crossed my mind that the marital bond would not survive.
But for three times, yes, count them: One, Two, and then was Three,
my marriages 'failed'. AND you may ask: 'Bri, how could that BE? ! ! ! '
So, now I'm married to my 'Dear Wife'; don't dare call her 'Four'! !
If you do, she may draw back her fist, and you may land on the floor.
Yes, she deems to judge herself to be much different from the rest,
and, after nearly ten years married to me, she seems to pass the ‘test'!
For most of those years I (almost) never took off my gold wedding ring.
To me it was a symbol of our 'joining together'. Is that, to you, a silly thing?
But ‘bout three years ago [after she accused me of using up soap too fast],
I decided to remove my ring in the shower, to help the soap bar... longer last.
[I think it worked! ]
A ring does not a marriage make; taking it off does not end a marriage, ‘for goodness' sake'! !
BUT, I'd feel (almost) naked if I didn't put my ring back on after my shower is done.
So that's how I feel about my wedding ring. I hope my story, for you, has been ….fun.

the idea for this poem came from:
1- having done 'the shower thing' tonight............again! !
and
2- my wife being away from home for a few weeks and planning to be gone longer. who will cook for me! ? McDonalds is running out of burgers and ice cream! !
Couple may be old but a ring of gold is never old, a lovely poem by Bri Edeards.
BUT, I'd feel (almost) naked if I didn't put my ring back on after my shower is done. So that's how I feel about my wedding ring. I hope my story, for you, has been ….fun. Not only fun but very pleasing too! Yes, let the ring adorn your finger for the rest of your life...! I am sure she is a caring, clever and compatible companion! Let your love life flourish...! A lovely poem with such nice sentiments!
Fourth lime lucky, eh Bri? Well, it's not luck that keeps a marriage together. I'm happy to hear that you have a true companion now. Sounds like she's a plucky woman. I'm quite touched by and interested in the ring thing. You have a nice attitude toward it. What would you make of a man who never wanted to get or wear a wedding ring...? A sweet love poem, Bri. Well done.

Now this is a great poem, Bri. This is a love story....the enduring struggle to make the ties last...The wedding ring is the symbol, but the work is reserved for the relationship...can't tell you how many people I know think the ceremony is the hard part...they discover life almost immediately thereafter. A 10! !
