why do you think mickey is so obsessed with the idea of ian always having his ring on?
because he’s obsessed with the idea of ian being his.
he’s spent years yearning for ian, years of having ian, then losing him, and the idea of marriage is nice to him because it means they’re committed. the ring itself means they’re committed; and at the point where he obsesses over it, he isn’t too sure ian’s committed.
mickey’s last marriage was awful and traumatic, so not only the ring, but the entire wedding ceremony itself is important to him because he wants to make sure that this wedding counts. he didn’t get any say in the last one, and i don’t recall him having a ring, but if he did, i’m sure just looking at him made him nauseous, so it’s important to him.
the ring makes it all feel real, and i’m sure it doesn’t feel real. the fact that mickey gets to have a life with ian, fuck, he gets to have a husband- and the ring signifies that. so yeah, he obsesses over the ring, over the guest list, the flowers, and the chiavari chairs. it makes perfect sense. he gets to obsess over it. he gets to obsess over ian. and i love that for him.
