A wedding band (might be called a ring but band makes it not sound like other types of rings) is OK because it is functional i.e. it displays marital status.
If you are "liberal" you will say that a person's "real" adorning is their attitude and the love displayed by them and not the outward stuff like combing of hair or the wearing of clothes and jewelry.

Why does anybody need a ring to display marital status? If you need to tell the world you are married then wear a big (long sleeve) shirt that says "I am married"
Better yet, act married.

Right, if you act married then you don't need a sign, or a ring.

How do you "act" married?

No ones needsd suits or fancy ties either.
We haven't wore wedding rings for years, not a big deal. I work with mostly women, they know I'm a commited married man. One co worker said "he's the most married man I know" If one acts married it will show.
