The wedding ring symbolises eternal continuity of and
unending and unbroken circle as is worn on the third
finger of your left hand.
Rings have become an important part of the
wedding ceremony because their circle is a symbol of
unending love.
A new trend which many couples are choosing is
specially designed wedding bands that feature engraving,
diamonds and other precious stones.
Choosing wedding bands may not be as simple as it
sounds. A
little planning ahead of time will ensure that your
wedding ring will be perfect for years to come.
Some points to consider when shopping for this very
special piece are:
-
Will the wedding and eternity rings fit in with the
style of the engagement ring?
-
Have the chosen rings comprised your budget?
-
Will the rings still be in fashion and suit the
wearer in years to come?
-
What happens if their lost?
-
Will they be insured and can you afford to replace
them
-
Will you be able to wear them every day when doing
household chores eg vacuuming, washing up, looking
after baby.
An important note for the husband
-
Are they practical?
-
Are the rings comfortable to wear?
There are many different ways that couples can exchange
their rings.
Quite often men chose not to wear a ring because of
their work commitments and the danger involved eg
farming or working with machinery.
Sometimes couples may wish to exchange bracelets,
necklaces etc.
The Ring Ceremony usually
comes immediately after the Exchanging of Vows.
The ring bearer, either being the best man,
pageboy or perhaps one of the couples’ children comes
forward with the rings and hands them to the celebrant.
The celebrant then hands the brides ring to the
groom and asks that he repeat/say the words they have
chosen and in turn this happens for the bride.
Remember potential brides
and grooms left hand.
Examples of this could be….
Lisa with this
ring I marry you and pledge you my faithful love.
The bride may then wish to thank the groom by way
of saying….., John
I thank you for this beautiful ring.
I accept it as a symbol that I belong to you.
This ring will remind me of you.
I will wear it with love all my life.
Other examples could be as
simple as….I give
you this ring as a symbol of my love and as a sign of my
promise. or a little more detailed……
I give you this
ring as a symbol of my love and our marriage.
Please wear it always and when we are apart look
upon it and think of me.
As this ring surrounds your finger, so my love
surrounds you ever and always.
The bride and groom may wish to exchange their rings
together whilst saying to each other…..We
will wear these rings and the world will know that you
are mine and I am yours.
This weeks ZIP or ZAP
Perhaps wear a piece of jewellery which may have been
owned by a relative, family member, grandparent that
could not be with you to share your happy day.
Regards,
Annie.
