I know that this may seem to be a shallow question, but I was given a pair of beautiful pearl earrings by my aunt for my wedding. This is wonderful because they were worn by my great-grandmother Ruth to her wedding. (She must have been VERY outlandish in those days to have worn pierced earrings!) The thing is - my ears aren’t pierced. I know, I know, it is almost shocking to see a woman who doesn’t have pierced ears anymore.

It’s not that it is against any moral, religious or personal codes that I hold dear, it’s just that I haven’t done it. I would love to wear the earrings (what an honor) but would it be wise to have them pierced so soon before the wedding? The wedding is on Good Friday, right at a month from now.

Any advise? Thanks from a very honored, yet nervous bride-to-be.
