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."
