Two Kinds of Ring
Engagement Ring and Wedding Ring
The difference between an engagement ring and wedding ring is that an engagement ring is given at a proposal or when a couple decides to get married. A wedding ring is exchanged at the wedding ceremony and represents the official bond of marriage.
In simple: The engagement ring symbolizes you’re engaged, while a wedding ring signifies that you’re already married.
A ring is presented as an engagement gift by a partner to their prospective spouse when they propose marriage or directly after a marriage proposal is accepted
In Western countries, engagement rings are worn mostly by women.
It gives warning and reminder
Some fix their spouses name on the engagement ring and wear it in a way others can see.
Engagement rings can be any ring-they don’t have to be a diamond ring or an expensive ring. The most important aspect is choosing a style that your partner will enjoy wearing.
The engagement ring can also be the wedding ring (if you want it to be), as some people don’t buy a separate wedding ring. It depends on your personal preference and if you want to use your engagement ring as a wedding band. That means you can wear an engagement ring with no wedding band, even after the ceremony.
They’ve become universally recognized as symbols of promise, devotion and everlasting love
The Double Ring Ceremony
During World War II, when many young men left behind their wives, girlfriends, and fiancées, the practice of a double ring wedding ceremony became widespread in the United States.
In a double ring ceremony, both the bride and groom receive wedding rings, whereas earlier traditions only gave a ring to the bride.
The wedding ring will be the last gift exchanged by a couple before they become husband and wife. It will also be the most important gift as it signifies the love and commitment the couple have for each other. It is also the completion of a wedding journey that starts out with the presentation of an engagement ring and the proposal that comes with it.
Significance of Wedding Ring
1.The Shape of the ring symbolize God’s unending love, just as the shape of a ring has no beginning and no end.
They are also symbolic of the sun, moon, and planets, bringing together all life just as an engagement ring brings together the lives of two people.
The perfect roundness of the ring symbolizes hope that the marriage will be one of simple beauty, free from strife or conflict, which might destroy its perfect "roundness."
Just like a circle has no ends, the marriage also is eternal.
2. A Ring Represents resources. When the couple exchanges wedding rings, it symbolizes the giving of all their resources-their wealth, possessions, talents, and emotions-to the other in marriage.
3. Gold ring Symbolize the value of Marriage
it is a plain gold ring without engravings or adornments.
The ring is gold indicates that the marriage is as precious as gold.
4. Meaning of ring finger
Wedding rings are most often worn on the fourth finger from the right on the left hand. It is believed that the ancient Romans started this practice. The Romans believed that the left finger contained a vein that was directly connected to the heart, and they called it the “vena amoris” or the vein of love.
Another theory behind the tradition is based on the Christian marriage ceremony. As the minister recited the binding prayer, he touched the thumb, forefinger and middle finger while saying “in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.” When the word “amen” was spoken, the minister placed the wedding band on the ring finger to seal the union. Rings still symbolize the union of two people and identify them as a couple.
However, in some countries they will place the wedding rings on the right hand. Interesting, right? they consider the left hand as “unclean” so it is placed on the right hand.
we have the Jewish tradition. Usually, at a Jewish wedding, the groom will place the wedding right on to the bride pointer finger. The reason for doing this is because they believe the pointer finger is the most prominent. After the ceremony, the bride will slip it onto her left fourth finger.
5. Commitment
When we notice someone is wearing a wedding ring, we know that means, at least in most cases, they are fully committed to someone
It is actually a symbol of commitment from that persons other half.
IN a christian marriage wedding not happens thourgh tying tali but by putting the ring.
Wearing the ring on a daily basis will also symbolize to your partner that you are faithful, that is why we don’t change wedding ring.
