Couple Promise Rings Set - Customs and traditions
Wedding rings: two tiny circles that will accompany you for the rest of your life as a lasting symbol of your union. However, in a time in which decisions and choices for the preparation are the order of the day how do you pick the perfect wedding ring? What does tradition demand? Who should purchase and hold them? This short guide will explain the customs and traditions surrounding wedding rings.
The circle of love: a story
The origins of the wedding ring, symbol of the union of souls of two people, in a romantic intertwining of their lives, can be traced back to antiquity. The circle, which signifies infinity, is a beautiful geometrical shape, having two ends that are joined together to block each other out. Gold, a substance that is a symbol of eternity, is used to complete the symbolism "forever".
The term "faith" comes from the Latin "fides" which translates to loyalty, and, in the history of ancient Rome, the goddess of loyalty was precisely known as Fides.
Wedding ring on left finger
Two ancient customs dictate that the wedding ring should be worn on the left finger. The first tradition as romantic as it is curious is derived from Egypt A tiny vein, known as the vein of Love passes through the ring-finger and continues up the arm to reach the heart.
The second, which is more spiritual, is linked to the Catholic Liturgy: as soon the celebrant is touching the three fingers on the left hand and reciting the famous prayer: "in the name of the Father of the Son and of the Holy Spirit ...", in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit," he will insert the ring, blessed by the ritual, into the fourth finger of the hand.
The wedding ring could also be placed on the left ring-finger to provide practical reasons. The Ring-finger is the least strong of the fingers, and therefore the least frequently used.
Couple Bracelets Traditions and Etiquette
There are a variety of ideas and customs regarding the purchase of wedding bands. In certain regions of Italy the groom is the one who purchases the rings, and his best man is responsible for bringing the rings to the venue for the ceremony.
The other one, and perhaps the most common, states that the purchase will be left to the witnesses, as a gift for their affection and closeness to the couple. If the couple has selected page boys or bridesmaids to be with the bride, they will carry the rings on a cushion to the altar during the wedding procession.
Wedding rings of various types for the wedding day
