I have no specific grappling horror stories involving a wedding band, but a buddy of mine lost his finger while playing basketball. He went up for a layup, the wedding band got caught in the net, he came down, the rest of his finger did not. It completely ripped free at the joint in a gory mess. Although these types of freak incidents are unthinkable, they are not improbable. The same types of forces on the finger could be at work if the wedding band snagged inside a gi. Although the chance of something freaky happening is probably less than getting struck by lightning, why take the chance? There's no harm in removing your wedding band for three simple hours while you roll and then putting it back on afterward. As others have stated, there are probably also risks to your training partners. Any metal on the mat is a bad idea, imho.
