Meaning of The Wedding Rings Scripts With PDF's

​Wedding rings. What do they mean?  What do you say about them?  What do you say when you exchange them? Do I have to wear a ring at all?   My answer as a professional wedding officiant is, you don’t have to wear a ring, that’s between the two of you.  Your wedding rings have any meaning you choose to give them and you can say that any way you want!  But, that may leave it a little too wide open for some people so here are some options I’ve collected to inspire you. Feel free to use any of them as they are or re-write any of them to best express you. ​
With this ring, I thee wed...
With this ring, I thee wed.  It seems so simple. At least I thought it was.  Too many times during simple elopements, when a bride or groom repeats after me it comes out “With this ring, I be wed.” And while that may be true, it doesn’t sound very ceremonial. So I’ve switched it to “With this ring, I marry you.” ​
Are you required to wear a wedding band once you are married? 
​No. Contrary to popular belief, you are not legally required to exchange or wear rings when you get married.  That decision is between you and your spouse.  Some people insist their spouse wear a ring in order to let the whole world know they are married.  Or, they want the world to know that you are taken, so keep your eyes and hand off! Some people prefer tattoo’s or not to wear a ring at all.  One groom had lost his finger when his wedding ring got caught on something!  Ouch!  So, maybe a wedding ring is not for you.  Some couples just don’t want to spend the money if they aren’t actually going to wear the ring.  ​
Wedding rings have religious symbolism
Wedding rings have religious symbolism.  Religious ceremonies will bless the rings before the couple exchanges them.  I once married a couple in their backyard.  I performed a lovely Christian wedding ceremony that didn’t didn’t have a ring blessing.  After the wedding ceremony, the father of the bride declared that the rings needed to be blessed before their couple walked back into their house or it was back luck for their marriage.  So I grabbed their hands and said “Let us pray” and blessed the rings.  I’m not quite sure what he was thinking, but we respected him.  Other couples have simply asked for the blessing to be included. ​

Wedding Ring Vows. 
Wedding Ring Vows.  Sometimes, couples will speak their wedding vows when they exchange rings instead of making a separate statement.  The Formal Consent to Marry, spoken wedding vows and the exchange of a ring is what the “ceremony” is.  It’s very formal and serious.  It’s not for everyone but there is a time and a place for everything. 
​
I truly hope this collection inspires you and helps you write your perfect wedding ceremony script and you have the wedding you dream of.
