Exchange of Rings

To exchange a ring – to give and to receive - is an emblem of the sincerity and permanence of a couple’s love for one another and their mutual regard for their marriage.

The giving and receiving of rings is an important part of a marriage ceremony, because the rings are made in the symbol of that which is eternal.​

​​"The circle of a wedding ring has no beginning nor end.  It is round like the sun, like the moon, like the earth … like arms that embrace.  An unbroken and never-ending circle symbolising a commitment to love that is forever and infinite."
I give you this ring 
as a reminder 
that I will love, honour, and cherish you, 
In all times, 
In all places.  
And in all ways, forever

I take you, .......to be my wife, my friend and my soulmate.
I will walk by your side wherever our journey together takes us.

Throughout our journey I promise you faithfulness, respect and solidarity.
I will celebrate with you your successes and provide strength when you are weakened.
I am my best when I am with you.
Loving you makes my heart beat and my face smile.
I will love and cherish you – now and forever.

With this ring, I marry you:
With my loving heart.
With my willing body.
And with my eternal soul.

This ring I give you in token of my love and devotion
 and with my heart,
 I pledge to you all that I am.

BRIDE, I give you this ring
As a symbol of my love and devotion

With all that I am…With all that I have…
I honour you as my wife forever more

As a symbol of my abiding love,
My eternal faith, and my undying devotion.
It is an outward reminder of our inner unity.
