Don't take the chance and wear it and loose it. Get it resized! You will walk around single for a while, but thats ok!
7 3/4...dang, I was a 8 1/2...now my ring is a 6 1/2, but I think it should be a 5 3/4 with how loose it is right now.

I just went and got the ring guards...and they seem tight. I would rather wear it tight then have it fly off on Space Mountain!!

That made me laugh. My dad almost lost his TEETH (dentures) on Space Mountain. That would have totally sucked. He did turn a lovely shade of green though.

I lost a pair of sunglasses on Space Mountain. Not quite the same thing.

I would go ahead and get the rings resized. I bought those ring spacer thingies and they were so uncomfortable, plus I was afraid they were going to put marks on my rings. My wedding band was an 11 and my engagement ring was a 10. They're both now a 7. I wore them on a chain around my neck for a few months because I wasn't going to get them sized until I got to goal, but I just couldn't stand it. I thought getting them resized was going to cost like a hundred bucks but it was only $16 per ring! I still have the piece of gold they cut off and it is huge!

Personally, I would only resize them if they were at least a size too big. I had to buy my wedding band 1/2 size bigger than I normally wear in winter because of swelling with the heat in summer. If that happens, you can't wear it......but you can always put on a ring guard in winter. If they are uncomfy then why not try a smaller and simple band that's tighter overtop so it can't go past it....or the old angora yarn like the girls did for their boyfriend's class ring back in high school. Anyone remember that? BTW, you look great Cin!

I can't fit another band...between my engagement and my wedding bands they are already too thick... Here is a pic. I worry about the diamond switching thing too, that is why I only go to the one place in the mall where you get your ring back in an hour or two and there are windows so you can watch the jeweler work on your ring.

Dang, I just noticed that my hand looks really old in the pic...I swear it doesn't look that bad in person!!
