                  In the name of love the bride and groom have one for the other, respect and truly, deeply desire to make plans for eternity the bride and groom both say “I do”. It is the short, firm and concise answer at all what this life commitment means. But saying it in proper, explicit words will mean to speak the wedding vows. It is the traditional way but a romantic gesture, a promise made in God’s front so it gains higher values, sacred words.  And then comes the seal of this: exchange of rings and wedding vows.

                     Everybody does this, all following the same religious and traditional dogmas. Can’t be the wedding without them? The exchange of rings and wedding vows is a part that hardly can be replaced. Hence, why would one want or like to skip this? Their importance as meaning, as emotional substrate is the responsible element to make the exchange of rings and wedding vows indispensable for the religious ceremony. Find out more bellow:

• The exchange of rings is a religious, traditional too ritual. It is made concretely: before each one will have the wedding ring on the finger will wear the other one’s ring: the bride with the groom’s ring and reverse order. In meaning this practice refers to the shared life, material side and not only, the expression of love uniting them. Also, after this, the exchange of rings is about the groom giving to the bride the ring and the bride to the groom.
• The wedding ring given and by accepting it is the proof, the convincement and agreement of this life commitment made. This is why usually the exchange of rings comes along with the exchange of wedding vows time.

• The exchange of wedding vows is not quite on obligatory fact, in comparison with the exchange of rings. Let’s not forget about the emotional time the grooms pass through and with what easiness the composed text can be forgotten. In order to avoid stuttering and so to become an embarrassing time for both parts the wedding vows can be a skipped part. Or the grooms can just repeat after the priest the classic vows.
• The exchange of rings and wedding vows depend one to the other in a measure. The traditional way is about saying “with this ring, I take you as my husband/wife…”. So are not just words said but concretely doing it. If the rings part is missed is not a possible wedding as these are indispensable, wedding symbols after all. The rings have to be blessed, in the symbolism that they have to receive the saint spirit. If the wedding vows miss it is like an incomplete moment.

• Even though the guests’ and probably the partner’s expectations are high on regards of the wedding vows the easier and sure way is to keep a simple path. It is indeed a sort of love declaration, a romantic gesture. But with such pressure the risk is high to forget everything and say common, banal words. So better to be prepared with something short but concise, briefly worded. The grooms have to be on the same page about this moment so to have a common style. It will be a shame and a pity for the bride to speak in metaphors and the answer she gets is “I love you too” only or reverse order.

• Out of desire to have a spectacular moment, to create an original version of the wedding vows and make it memorable for the guests too is to recur to the funny style. But don’t push the note as to get this to the extreme and moreover if the other side-at case the bride or groom- to be unaware of this fact. Not only will you surprise them all but shock them. And this should be a sacred moment, a solemn time to ruin it.
• To increase the emotions, to boost the effect of the whole moment some music played slowly and at low volume will be one idea.

• In a way priests have another interfering part at the exchange of rings and implicitly at the wedding vows. It is about the theme of the text. They may influence them to make it all with a religious theme, speaking about the love God gave on earth, how he created the man and woman, things like that.
• Of a cheesy thing will be the too long version of the wedding vows with an overflowing romance. In other words, too many words of glory of love, told in an artistically way. Resume to things like this: “I marry you with this ring, with all that I have and all that I am” ort “this ring is my eternal love; take it and I’m yours forever”. The point is with all the emotions the grooms feel they may no take it as a proper analyze so all the words just fly over the ears.
