I would hold that halakhically, al pi din, there is most likely nothing wrong with a man wearing a wedding ring. The issue is one of hashkafa; it is an attempt to impose non-Jewish, modern conceptions of marriage (a ring is a symbol of the husband’s position and stature in a marriage). A lot of things are mutar al pi din, but are still poor decisions that are out of touch with the ethos of Torah Judaism.
