What's the Deal With Danny Gokey's Wedding Ring?

I know plenty of Christians who wear rings to display their faith (similar to wearing a cross necklace), so this story seems legit to me.

I've only been married for 11 months, but I'm still not sure how someone can legitimately lose a wedding ring. It's pretty careless. I mean, I know it's just a symbol and it's not the end of the world, but some people take it very seriously.

My theory about Dead Wife's no ring performance is that it is a signal to the Frauen that it's okay to lust over him. He is now available and ready to fall in love again with uh, one of them?

Hey, thanks for the memo Dead Wife Douche. I'll pass.

So he cared about his marriage, his wonderful wife, and the symbol of their love and commitment so much he never bothered to get a new one. Oh well, nice that you can at least whore out her death for votes.

In response to Duke, I've been married for 3 1/2 years and my husband is TERRIBLE with rings. He's just not a jewelry guy and never has been. He's never kept a single ring for longer than a couple months EVER. We went cheap on his wedding band because we knew he probably would lose it or at the very least damage it or scuff it beyond recognition. We were only married a few months when he lost it. We went for over a year without him having one and we finally got him another cheap one since everyone complained about it so much. And he's a teacher and his students ripped him a new one over it all the time. He's had that second cheap one for I think a year or more now, so we're thinking he's finally earned a proper wedding band instead of cheap, $20 ones that we don't care if he loses.

Now, while we're both alive and well the ring thing doesn't matter very much to me because i know it's just one of those things he has a hard time holding onto and nothing to do with our relationship... but if I died, and my husband was as "traumatized" as Danny claims to be about HIS wife... there's no WAY he'd be going around without his wedding ring EVER, even if he had to buy a special one after I died as a memorium! Something tells me Danny isn't all that broken up about his wife now that he has fame to keep him warm...

Ooh you poor thing. It doesn't matter if your husband is a jewlery guy or not if he doesn't take it off it will not get lost. I mean men rings are simple that way, were they can wash their hands, sleep with it and take a shower and never have to take it off. The fact that you are giving him excuses is sad but I understand. You don't want to own up to the fact that your hubby doesn't want to be viewed as taken. It is cool. I understand.

Now on to Necropimp. He fits in with what I said above. All he had to do is pick up a another one in 2yrs but he didn't. Why because he didn't want to be viewed as taken. Gosh he sucks.

Great Pick!!! Hahahahaha

What a phony! You mean to tell me there isn't a ring somewhere in his or her family from a dead relative that he could wear? He's going to use his wife to get sympathy votes but he can't even wear a ring?

My husband has never lost his ring in 8 years of marriage. He knows that if he did lose it, he'd better stop at a jewelry store on his way home before I notice it's gone.

Anyone who wants to lust over this obnoxious prick is welcome to him. Ewwwww. He disgusts me.

I can't really hold this against anyone, much as I'd like to in this case. My parents' apartment was robbed shortly after they were married and my dad's ring was stolen. And a family friend lost hers down a drain in a hotel in another country. Shit happens regardless of sentiment.

Everyone has problems. Everyone is going to use their problems to make people feel bad for them. The majority of the girls on the show right now have babies that they need to "make the best life for." Being away from your child, then having to go on tour to most likely not get anything out of isn't the best for them. Sympathy votes work. Look at Scott for example. He's horrible... but people feel bad for him.

Who knows, maybe Danny lied and it is the 'actual' wedding ring, either way....he's gonna wear it and people will vote for him.

Adam my hubby knows not to come home without his ring on. Just to make sure I had his ring custom made so he can't replace it easy.

Danny has no excuse. He sucks.

The only time a married man has to take off his wedding ring is when he is trying to score some strange pussy at an out of town convention while the wife is back home. Did Danny's church send him to a church musician convention?

I never took my wedding ring off when married. There is no need. Anyone who lost their ring took it off in a hotel and had it stolen by a hooker.

If Danny is wearing a church gifted ring on the show during some performances, why is he wearing it on the finger reserved for wedding rings?

Is Danny trying to invoke the memory of his dead wife for sympathy votes by wearing a non wedding ring on his ring finger? Even after possibly having his wedding ring pocketed by a whore Danny was using at an out of town convention?
