I lost my wedding ring for two years

Ever since the vows on my wedding day, I've been wearing my wedding ring. Hubby prefers to wear his as a pendant. He told me he's allergic to rings when we first got married. Mmmm ..... Really? Or are you allergic to marriage, I thought?? Luckily, his 'allergy' has had no impact on our marriage, and we're still together after all these years.

I normally wear two rings, my wedding ring and a Russian wedding ring. The latter has nothing to do with my marriage. I saw it at Covent Garden in London years ago even before I got married. It's made of silver and I was attracted to its unique design with three bands that sits perfectly on top of one another. I can even roll them along my finger if they're positioned correctly.

I normally remove my rings at home and only wear them when I go out. During Covid in the past few years, I didn't wear them most of the time as we were in lockdown. Then about two years ago, one day I suddenly realized I couldn't find my wedding ring 😬. I searched up and down at home, and to be honest, there weren't that many places to look because I was living in temporary accommodation and didn't have much furniture. I even looked into every pocket of my clothes but to no avail. In the end, I reckon I must have removed it at home, put it in my jeans pocket, forgot about it, and it got lost at the laundrette. Bummer!!! 😭😭😭

It was very annoying, but I wasn't totally devasted. I mean I'm not really a possessions person, and a marriage isn't defined by a ring. Ring or no ring we're still in love and together, and that's what matters.😍

Recently, I returned to Taiwan to pick up my belongings. The other day I was going through one of my trinket boxes and when I opened it, I was gobsmacked. My wedding ring was inside!!! It was in Taiwan all these years when I was in UK. How is that possible? Why did I not wear it when I returned to UK? Why did I wear my russion wedding ring but not my wedding ring? That is soooooo odd.

Anyway, I was so happy to be reunited with my wedding ring which I thought I'd lost two years ago. But oh no!!! One problem .... it doesn't fit me now. I know, it must be the heat in Taiwan and my fingers has swollen up. Or maybe .... I've put on weight these few years 😭😭😭

In the meanwhile, my little angels are looking after my rings for me to make sure I don't lose them again. Thank you Snowpea and Mary
