My step sister just took her glove off, she tried to keep it on for the reception but they got in the way. But they made the pictures look really glam, and I am so envyous I dont have the arms to pull it off . Also after you get married you dont want to have to send your ring out again (at the place we got mine it takes a week, but I know there are places that can do it same day), plus it costs money to re size it. But on the other hand its your day do it the way you want and be happy... it only happens once.
