*drops rings on the floor after playing with them*
"My marital bonds are gone. Won't you retrieve them?"
"Here you go. Be wed to me again."
"No. I am enjoying my newfound freedom."
"Don't be fooled, trucker. Just because you don't have your rings on doesn't mean that we aren't wed. I have a comically large wedding certificate from Jamaica that proves it."
"Damn it."

18 beautiful people muttered something back:
That's right, woman. The Right Reverend Pert has sealed us for a lifetime. What he has done, you cannot rend asunder. We will stay sundered.
haha! Yes, the marriage certificate is binding.
You can buy a divorce for $299 on the internet (ask Aaron, I've shown him) -- but that hardly buys you your freedom!
I prefer to sing in my best Tammy Wynnette voice "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" (because that's all I know of the song) and look longingly out into the sunset as I envision a heap of dirty underwear on the floor beside my bed.
heh.
Justin never wears his wedding band to work during the week because of safety reasons. Usually on Friday evenings I'll ask him if he's married this weekend. He knows I'm asking if he has put his ring on. hehe
Ever since he gained the pregnancy weight (yes, I see the irony there) Justin can't get his ring over his knuckle. WTF?
Hydes
When Annie and I were first married, she used to check to make sure I had my ring on when I left the house - she knew that during my first marriage I would often NOT wear my ring. However, no such inclination has ever struck me since we've married. Neither has she. Other than taking showers and occasionally while sleeping, this ring hasn't left my finger in 30 years, 5 months and 19 days.
Phil "needs to check the dictionary" - Sadly, you want to break us up into two, as that is the definition of 'sunder.' Nice.
Amanda - You are so sly, threatening Aaron with an Internet divorce.
Angie - Ha! Yup. I am not married when I shower or wash my face. Come get me, boys, when I'm dirty!
Hydes - Sweet. I see that sympathetic pregnancy is no stranger to your house. I still wear my rings on my pinky finger because my knuckles are a bit swollen after having Amos. Pregnancy affects the strangest things.
LceeL - Good for you and Annie! We sometimes play with our rings and then say to each other, "I'm free!" Then the other must put the ring on the free person's finger and entice them to be wed again. Yes, we are strange. Haha.
LOL, yep- binding contract!
happy blogging!
Well, there is always a pair of scissors....
But then there is sticky tape. Tricky situation.
Jamaica?!
How cool!
you have the right idea - laughter helps keep the marriage happy and healthy. my husband and I have been together for almost 30 years now and for better or worse till death do us part would have taken on a new meaning if it weren't for the laughs we've shared!
Ian's worn his wedding ring maybe twice - at the ceremony, and perhaps during the honeymoon. He's not a ring type of guy, despite us running around like mad people trying to find the perfect one just before the wedding. It used to bug me a lot, his nonchalant ..."I don't need a ring on me to show my dedication yada yada...' and after 20 years together, I think I believe him ;).
Very cute conversation though.
This is my first visit here, but you crack me up! haha :)
Loved the exchange!!! :D
I used to take my ring off to shower every day (hahaha, that reminds me - I used to SHOWER every day!)... anyway.... I would often forget to put it back on in the rush to get ready for work.
I'd realize it on the way to work (I have a habit of spinning it with my thumb) and I'd call John, who would bring it to work for me.
He always held it out and said, "Wanna get married?"
"No. I just want my bling."
Kontan - Binding WHAT?! What was I thinking, signing that thing?! heheh.
Veronica - Wait... am I supposed to cut up the rings and then tape them to my finger? Or cut up the wedding certificate and tape it to Phil's chest hair?
Moxie-Mom - Indeed! We were married in Negril, Jamaica, overlooking the bay. It was wonderful, and there was a nude beach just to the right of our gazebo wedding. Ha!
Jehovahroi - Yup. If it weren't for the laughs, I would have offed Phil YEARS ago. heheh.
Karen MEG - He's sort of missing the point of the ring, isn't he? You wear it in public to let the scuzzy ladies know that he is taken. "Looka here, lady. This man is chained to my ankle!"
Manda - I'm glad you had a chuckle! Come back again!
Toni - Well, thank ya! We are wacky, just for the good blogs.
Lotus - John is wonderful. I'm pretty sure Phil would tell me, "Well, let this be a lesson that you should never remove it." He's big on teaching me lessons.
