I have a real thick ring on my wedding finger, never take it off. Took about a month to get used to it and stop hitting it off the fretboard but no problems now. Was considering taking it off when I played but then I saw Joe Stump - the guy has loads of rings and pretty much shreds harder than anyone. You'll get used to it plus you won't run the risk of losing it or not putting it on (a woman scorned and all of that!).
