Ring, ring, ring, let me hear you say aayoh!!

Other than the bride and groom rocking up and vowing that they’ll love each other forever, rings are pretty much next on the agenda as a must have symbolic ritual as a part of the ceremony and item to source. For my wedding I didn’t just want to have the exchange of rings as a standard part of the wedding. I wanted it to have meaning and something that was vital to us was connecting to our guests, involving them and making our ceremony completely personal. While my husband was more reserved on the idea I pushed for a ring warning symbolic element (after all I agreed to have a quaich as another - which was also fab btw). And it went down a storm and ignited my much desired leaky eyes from people. It was lovely to watch the rings going round and being passed from person to person with love and care, knowing they were holding something so precious and putting their loving and supportive thoughts into them for our marriage. What made it all the more special was that my wedding ring belonged to my granny who passed away when my mother was just 4. I adore looking at this ring on my finger and treasure the sentiment behind it, and all the love that went into it as it made its way back up the aisle with my husband’s (purchased) ring. What other ways could you make the rings a more meaningful and unique experience for your wedding?
