"I do!" ...Now where do I keep the ring?

Although my wife has given me the look...I do not wear mine. There have been too many incidents almost resulting in finger removal.

My neighbor wears his on a necklace 

Congrats, welcome back, and in the two weeks you were gone this came up, believe it or not!

Great!  Much appreciated.

Any time I'm going to be hitting the water (training or racing) I leave it in the car.

When I went in for surgery, I put it on a nacklace and had my wife wear it around her neck.

Other than that, it's always on my finger.

I did lose mine in the pool once. Fortunately it was found. Now I leave it in the car or in my transition bag, depending on when I remember to take it off.

There have been a few times when I've realized I was still wearing it when standing in the water waiting for the start. At those times, I just put it on my watch band. Not ideal, but still more secure than on my finger.

Oh yes, the three rings of marriage.

There's the engagement ring.

Then there's the wedding ring.

And finally, the suffering.

Oh wait, you're a newly wed, you won't find out about that for a few years yet.

Congratulations on getting married.  Leave the ring hidden well in the car during swims, but don't forget about it.

On swim days, (usually after work) I leave it home. 

I've lost one diamond already.  Insurance companies are always skeptical about jewelery claims. the only sigh of relief they had was that it was only the diamond, (prongs had loosened) that went missing, not the entire ring.

No way am I chancing losing that puppy in a race or a pool, or even biking or running for that matter.

Ring comes on after the shower, at home.
