Expressions for Your Ring Exchange

With this ring...

Like a circle, the wedding ring has no beginning or end and is therefore a symbol of infinity. It is endless, eternal, just the way love should be. For many the wedding ring is worn on the fourth finger of the left hand. This is because the vein in this finger was believed to lead directly to the wearer's heart. The exchange of wedding rings takes place following the vow exchange. In a traditional ceremony the Officiant may begin with a Blessing of the Rings. (Lord, bless and consecrate _____ and _____ in their love for each other. May these rings be a symbol of true faith in each other and always remind them of their love. Through Christ our Lord. Amen). In a contemporary ceremony, the Officiant will speak to the meaning of the rings.

Please choose one of the following phrases from the contemporary or traditional options, for your ring exchange. Add your own language, or combine two or more phrases to create language that resonates with you.
