Jason,
If you decide to go through with your plan with the rings and roses, when completed, you can place them in a shadow box and hang it on a wall(just an idea).
I have mine and my husbands wedding rings on my necklace and it never comes off. What I plan on doing when I feel comfortable enough leaving the rings with a jeweler, I want them to intertwine the rings together and write TOGETHER on one ring, and FOREVER on the other, so that we will be TOGETHER FOREVER married and binded. I wear his 'engagement' ring that I had given him.
We never made a huge production for Valentine's Day. We would maybe get each other a chocolate bar, a card, but mostly he would make sure that he would cook a little something special for dinner. The date that hurts more is February 13th. This was our first date. He made sure that before we left the arcade that we were at, he talked to the doorman beforehand and told him to wish us a Happy Valentine's Day on our way out. When the doorman did, my husband pretended like he did not know that it was Valentine's (it was past midnight by the time our date ended). He kept apologizing all the way to the car. I told him it was okay (and it was) I did not expect anything. When we got to the car and he opened the door for me, before he got in the vehicle, he pulled out something from the trunk. He gave me a rose and a card in which he had written a poem for me. It was the best date I have ever had.
