I am going to get married next September and are planning to have a somewhat traditional Mexican wedding with some minor differences. My fiancee and I plan to buy our wedding rings and have the “padrinos de anillos” present the rings at the alter. We were planning on asking his brother and sister-in-law. My godmother called my mom saying they way want to give me the wedding rings. I want to say no but my parents insist that it wouldn’t be right to say no because their feelings would be hurt. There’s another catch to the story, back in the 80’s my godfather “mishandled” some of my dad’s money. We think he stole it but since no one wants to bring it up its always been an issue. I don’t know if they really want to give me the rings because I am their goddaughter or because they want to “pay back” some of that money in a sense. I really don’t know what to do. I just want to be able to pick my own rings. I wouldn’t want to look at them knowing there’s that story behind it…
Another thing is that my godparents live in Mexico and I live in California….they would be the ones that are going to decide what they look like.
