• The Tradition Behind the Wedding Ring

2

• Have you ever wondered where the tradition
  of exchanging wedding bands comes from? If so, to
  give you a break from looking at wedding venues
  in Melbourne, relax and enjoy the story behind
  the meaning of your wedding rings. There isnt a
  definite record of when the exchange first
  started but the first recorded history of it was
  about 4800 years ago in Egypt. These rings were
  made out of rushes, reeds and sedges which were
  twisted together and then braided into a circle.

• The thought in this is that the vein of that
  finger goes directly to the heart. In the early
  Christian tradition the reason given in the ring
  finger being used is that the wedding officiator
  would recite during the bonding In the Father,
  the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He then would
  touch the thumb, the index finger, and the middle
  finger, utter amen and the ring would be placed
  on the ring finger this then sealed the
  marriage.

• So as weddings in Melbourne are being done,
  the exchange of rings continues.  Whatever youre
  thoughts about the rings, enjoy the day with its
  traditions.
