What would you do to wear a treasured heirloom at your wedding?

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.

What should a personal attendant wear to the wedding?
If you have them pierced now, they will be healed by then.
It usually takes about 6 weeks for a piercing to heal but in this case I would get your ears pieced and then have a friend help change out the earrings before the wedding. I am going to warn you that the possibility for infection can be great if you do not clean the ear rings your aunt gave you, and make sure that any time that you touch the piecing make sure that your hands are clean.
Its just my opinion, I would be willing to get my ears pieced to ware earrings that my great-grandmother wore at her wedding.
You might want to attach something call clip-ons on to the earrings where u can find in shops that sells beads or something like that. So, u can just clip in onto your ears without piercing. Hope this helps.. Congrats to your wedding!!
