Are you going to Italy? If you do, you'll be glad you have the ring on.
But yeah, I can't see how they're going to steal it right off your finger...

A weddding ring is something I don't have to worry about. Lucky me.

ive been 'married' for 7 years now!
*when i was waaay to young, a boyfreind proposed, and gave me rings and everything!
rings barely leave my fingers except for when im out in west london cos its a s**thole, but when im travelling its saved my ass soooo many times from letcherous men who wont let you go...till you mention a husband. then they mostly leave you alone and apologise
but seriously, take your ring man! just be careful. TBH in western europe if you do encounter crime, it will be a bad snatch or a pick pocket (very slim chance mind) people dont really want to face you and talk to you.

My husband wears his but I never did, although I could have gotten away with it in many places like Argentina, Costa Rica, Panama. Europe is super safe, no need to worry about anything there.
I don't like attracting attention and people asking me questions about it so I never wear it even at home
Better b safe than sorry right, if u dont feel comfy, don't wear it
