double ring

Two connected circles

A double ring ceremony is a wedding in which both partners exchange rings, rather than only the bride receiving one.

The term appears almost exclusively as a modifier: a double ring ceremony, a double ring wedding.

The practice became standard in American weddings during the mid-twentieth century.
