exchange of rings
Vows' symbolic gesture
The exchange of rings is the moment in a wedding ceremony when partners place rings on each other's fingers, symbolizing their commitment.
The circular band traditionally represents eternal love—no beginning, no end.
In Western ceremonies, rings are typically exchanged after vows are spoken: They wrote their own vows for the exchange of rings.
