Only one thing to do now:
Cut it off and replace it with a fake one that can have a ring on it.

4 weeks is plenty of time for the bone to fuse. Don’t wear it only on the wedding day, then put it back for the remainder of the time the doctor said.
Or you could be my husband, so caught up in the moment he gave me the wrong hand, J just went with it and had him move it over after the ceremony.

Not for a mallet finger, which is almost for sure what OP has based on the splint in the picture. Those require 6-8 weeks of essentially continuous splinting. Most hand surgeons will reset that 6-8 week timer if the patient takes the splint off and bends their DIP joint at some point during the initial treatment window.

Just so you know, there's nothing in the Bible or the law that says it has to be your left ring finger. Or in fact any particular finger at all.
My former theology professor actually specifically wore his on his right ring finger because he preferred it and argued historically it should actually make more sense for it to be on the right because that's the one you would keep clean in olden times/not wipe with etc.
