I Cut My Wedding Ring In Half

3/9/2015

3 Comments

 
I designed my engagement ring, and every time I look at it I love it.  Then it came to adding the wedding ring to fit with this ring I enjoy so much. 
There we hit a snag....I thought it looked silly.  The wedding ring and engagement ring just didn't work together.   I thought, I wonder if I can cut the ring in half and have two rings, so they will sit one on each side of the engagement ring.     The jeweller said l could do whatever l wanted, so that’s what we did. Now I have two wedding rings.

It’s true- you can do whatever you want. Wedding rings are not part of the legal requirements to get married, but they are a long held tradition that most couples go with.

Two rings
Generally both partners exchange wedding rings during their wedding ceremony. Often one of three things is said

-      Will you wear this ring? A question, like when you got engaged.
-      Wear this ring. A statement, given that the rings usually follow the vows, at this stage they have already said ‘yes’
-      Someone else (aka Celebrant) says ‘wear these rings’

Wedding rings are usually described as representing the endless of true love, having no beginning and no end.

Most people in Australia wear it on the fourth digit on the left hand. In ancient times it was thought that a vein ran directly from this finger to the heart.
One ring
Sometimes one partner doesn’t want a ring, which is fine. You can still have a ring ceremony and you may even find there is something else that person would prefer. It has really only been in the last 100 years that both partners have worn wedding rings, thanks to marketing.

Some people don’t wear or like jewellery or it doesn’t suit their profession. A good thing to remember is that you won’t always have the job you currently have. If you are a plumber and worried you might lose it down a drain, it can just be worn for special occasions or in 50 years time when you retire. You’ll still be married then.

No ring
Whilst wedding rings hold thousands of years of tradition, if they are meaningless to you – don’t make them part of your day. It’s your wedding and you really should have only the symbols that you find important.

Beautiful wedding rings often come with large price tags. You might find that at this stage in your life that money might be better spent on a holiday, house deposit or the wedding.

If you still want to exchange something; what about a necklace, watch or even get matching tattoos.

Like all rituals within a ceremony, a Wedding Ring only represents what you believe it stands for.

If it means something to you – then great; l know an awesome jeweller.

If a wedding ring is not for you – then let’s chat about what you do want in your wedding ceremony, because guess what ... you too can do whatever you want!

This is an explosive idea; this is most probably the best and most successful thing about my wedding ring in half. I love this blog and really happy to come across this exceptionally well written content. Thanks for sharing!!

I think it's a brilliant idea. I agree that we can do whatever we want. With ring, no ring, or two rings, I think it doesn't matter as long as couples love and are committed to each other.
