Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

what if I have another pair of earrings I want to wear?

Get more piercings! I can wear up to 3.5 gifts at once! Want more stuff!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm assuming he's not forcing it on her, or if he is, it's her job to suck it up and take it, as upcoming queen of Britain, it's the least of what she'll have to do for her title.

I'm wondering how you graciously turn down his dead mother's ring.

(Not that that issue might apply to me in the future. Nope. Nuh uh. No way.)

Because books.

Hey Amy, I don't think the link you submitted to the Good Things is what you meant it to be...

Yikes! What did I do?!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, nothing crazy, it just went to the Jezebel photos tag, not a particular photo.

I just resubmitted it. I was paying attention this time!

Yay! Cute.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

If he hadn't given her that specific ring, then there would be all kinds of undercurrent about what that "means". Marrying into the royal family brings GOBS of baggage.

I remember watching Diana's wedding, Fergie's wedding, and Diana's funeral. I'm sure I'll find a way to watch this wedding. Thinking back on the funeral, my mom and I sat up that night rolling dolma while watching the tv. Dolma - yum, funeral - sad.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Your engagement/wedding ring? On your finger until you die.

Heh, my engagement ring hasn't fit me in over 10 years. (Hazard of getting married so young - even my FINGERS were thinner back then...)

And my wedding ring comes off every time I'm in the kitchen - otherwise it'd get all gunky! And if my hands are as swollen by the end of this pregnancy as they were with Dylan, it'll be off for a good month and a half right after Thanksgiving.

S. never takes off his wedding ring (unless he's under the hood of the car or something, and usually not even then) but I think it's just laziness. I take off all my jewelry, wedding ring included, at night.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Damn, it's been about 25 years since I've worn any jewelry. Unless you count a watch.
