I'm glad things are going better, but I agree with Tecoyah about not using the ring...I mean, didn't you think (and reasonably so) that the gift was "a symbol of love and acceptance with no strings attached and there would be absolutely no resentment harboured" in the first place?
I understand that Moms flip out (believe me, I Do). But to even think of reneging on a gift of this magnitude, with all the emotions attached to it leads me to wonder if it could happen again, before or after the wedding.
I think it could be a good way to show that you will graciously but firmly not tolerate this kind of behaviour. But that's me.
Bite me once, shame on you. Bite me twice, shame on me.
(Is it biting? Or burning? Or smacking? Heh, can't remember.)
