No one said it was gonna be easy, but....

I saw these rings advertised on a Catholic news site, and followed the link to their home.  It's a lovely site, but "crown of thorns" wedding rings?  Really?

Ahem.

While I realize that everyone's marriage has some rocky points, and it is not champagne and roses every moment of every day, this seems a little....penitential.  Starting off marriage with a sense of mortification?  "With this ring, and this hair shirt, I thee wed...."

Beware long-faced Christians....
