Wedding Rings A Gift For A Lifetime
‘With this ring, I thee wed’. The most beautiful words ever spoken. The words that bring a man and woman together in a bond of eternity. This is done by slipping a ring on the bride’s and groom’s fingers by each other. The wedding ring plays a most important role in bringing two hearts together in love for a lifetime.
There is no wonder that wedding rings are chosen with extreme care, because they are for a lifetime. Men’s wedding rings are usually made in plain metal and women’s wedding rings made with precious stones, like diamonds and other gemstones. These days, of course, even men prefer wearing rings set with precious stones. There are gold wedding rings, white gold wedding rings, platinum wedding rings, and many more.
Wedding rings come in different styles, like the plain ones and ones that are engraved. The wedding rings should match the personality of the bride and groom. There are wedding ring sets available for the couple, that are made with the same metal and set with the same precious stones. This makes it all the more exciting actually. Imagine both of you wearing similarly styled rings. I am sure that gives a nice feeling of being part of each other of being one.
The wedding ring is a symbolism for love that has no end and goes in circles. Did you know that in certain communities, it is considered bad luck to buy the wedding rings along with the engagement rings.
The wedding ring
is worn
on the ring finger. The hand on which it is worn depends on the tradition
of each country. In the Western World, it is worn on the left hand
and in some other countries, on the right hand. The reason why it is
worn on the ring finger is because in ancient times, the ring finger
was considered to be the love finger and that is how this tradition
of wearing the ring on this finger came into being.
There is
a custom in Europe to engrave the spouse’s name and wedding date inside
the wedding ring. Depending on the culture, it is either the ring bearer,
who is usually a small kid bringing the rings on a pillow, or the best
man that is in charge of the wedding rings and he presents them at
the time they are needed.
If you are making arrangements for
your wedding day and buying wedding rings, it would be nice to keep
in mind the traditions and meanings of the wedding rings. Although
many people are opting not to follow a traditional wedding, it makes
it more fun to include some of these traditions and make it a memorable
day for you, with memories flashing in front of your eyes for years
to come, whenever you look at your wedding rings. Let your wedding ring
tell a tale of love.
