The wedding ring is a symbol of married love, the precious metals show that your love is your most precious possession and the unending circle symbolizes that your love may never cease. 

As you place the ring on (her/his) finger, please repeat after me:

_____, I give you this ring, as a symbol of my love.  I ask you to wear it as a sign to the world that you are my wife.  With this ring, I thee wed. 

_____, I give you this ring, as a symbol of my love.  I ask you to wear it as a sign to the world that you are my husband.  With this ring, I thee wed.
Rings 3
Marriage is a stage in which two people come together and create a union that is greater than the sum of its parts.  It is difficult to express in words the profound relationship that is love.

Since the beginning of time, the ring has been an emblem of the sincerity and permanence of a couple’s love for one another and regard for their marriage.

As the circle can begin a new at any point, so a good marriage can pick any point to renew itself.  These rings are symbols of your eternal love.

____ as you place this ring on_____ finger, please repeat after me:  I give you this ring as a reminder that I will love, honor, and cherish you, In all times, In all places, And in all ways, forever.

_____as you place this ring on____ finger, please repeat after me: I give you this ring as a reminder that I will love, honor, and cherish you, In all times, In all places, And in all ways, forever
