Very short backstory: I didn't have the best parents growing up, so I more or less lived with my grandparents. They loved me more than life itself and thanks to them I am a little more "put together" as an adult than I would if they hadn't taken over my parents' responsibility. My granddad adored my grandma and vice versa, and they really taught me what a good marriage looks like.
My granddad died 18 years ago, but my grandma is still alive and doing well. She asked me a while ago if there was anything special of hers that I would like to inherit when she dies. I told her her and granddads wedding rings would mean a lot to me. She has now given them to me before she dies to make sure my mom won't snatch them after she's gone.
I'm getting married next year and I'm wondering if it would be weird to ask my soon to be husband to use my grandparents' wedding rings as our own. To me it's beautiful, but I have no idea if it would be weird to people that don't have the same attachment to these rings. "Can you wear my dead granddads ring?" may sound a bit morbid… but if my soon to be husband will love and cherish me for the rest of my life half as much as my granddad did, I will be the most loved human on the planet.
I might add that they will not be our day to day rings. Both of us have jobs that will damage our rings with time, so we will more than likely need to replace our rings a few times before we retire, so we will have appropriate rings for daily wear, but I would really like to use my grandparents' rings on our wedding day and for special occasions.
What do you think, is this a weird ask? I don't want to ask him if it's totally weird to everyone else but me.
