This is our second time down the aisle for each of us. We both had unity candle ceremony as part of each of our previous ceremonies. We both also had rings exchanged in the ceremony.
We have done things differently this time. After my fiance proposed, we ring shopped for BOTH rings. We chose to both exchange and wear our rings starting from our engagement. We later found out that some brides are giving their grooms a man engagement ring these days. Who knew? LOL! Certainly not us nearly 50 yr. old folks!
The diamond ring he bought me has alot of lovely detail and I can not think of wearing another ring next to it. Another ring would cover some of its beauty. Besides, I've never really cared for wearing two rings on the same finger.
My fiance is Irish and we plan to have a handfasting ceremony and exchange the vows we have written for one another. Guess we're doing our own thing, but each couple is unique and should be free to express their love without being choked with other's rules, wants, and think-so's. We both had that experience on our first time down the aisle.
Any thoughts?
