We tend to lose track of the meaning of the
wedding ring itself.
I explain the meaning of wedding rings and
the reasons why the rings themselves are so
precious. A blessing is pronounced over the
rings before you slip them onto each other's
fingers. Thus the exchange of sacred objects
is, itself, made sacred.
Weddings rings are the lasting symbols of
the vows and commitments made on the
wedding day. Long after the cake and flowers
are gone and the clothing put away, the ring
will remain as a reminder of the promises of
the wedding service.

Minister:
"It is a tradition that rings be exchanged. The rings are given as a gift of
affection to someone you love. They also, in our world today have become
symbolic in that they say to all who see you wear them, that these promises
have been made. It is a symbol of holiness and of perfection and of peace. This
ring is a symbol of unity, in which your two lives are now joined in one
unbroken circle."
Blessing: "Bless, O Lord, this ring, to be a sign and reminder of the vows by
which this man and this woman have bound themselves to each other; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen"
Place this ring on her finger and repeat after me:
Roger: With this ring I thee wed, and I do
promise, to be thy loving and faithful
husband, and the world will know - that I
am yours and you are mine.
Susan: With this ring I thee wed, and I do
promise, to be thy loving and faithful wife,
and the world will know - that I am yours
and you are mine.
