Congratulations! A friend of mine is also allergic to metal. Turns out she can wear gold. (probably has to be 24k) If there aren't problems with having a naked ring finger now, there shouldn't be problems with it later. Remember, the problems tend to be getting "hit on". Friends who wonder why you're not wearing a wedding ring should accept "metal allergy" as a reason. If they don't, what sort of friends are they? _____ |___| the Bavarian Beagle _|___|_ Snoopy \_____/ tektronix!tekecs!seifert <- NEW ADDRESS !!! \___/
