History of Wedding Rings
What does a wedding ring symbolise?
Wedding rings symbolise a special bond between two people. A circle with no beginning or end, the shape of a wedding ring represents the eternal commitment, love and faithfulness a couple holds for one another. They are also a way to publicly profess pride and fidelity to your marriage.
Wedding rings are still as important as they were centuries ago. They can be traced back to ancient Egyptian times where they used to be woven from reeds and were worn as a promise of forever love. It wasn’t long before these special rings became more elaborate, made from various metals such as iron, gold and silver, and engraved with personal messages.
