Exchanging wedding rings can be one of the most memorable parts of your ceremony, as it represents your commitment to a lifetime of love with each other. Wow!
The simplest format is to exchange wedding rings at the same time as saying your marriage vows. This can be helpful (ie. less stressful) for people who really don’t like public speaking and it’s also popular for ceremonies that are intentionally short and simple.
Alternatively, you can personalise your ring exchange and make it more of a ‘moment’ within your ceremony, by exchanging rings after your vows are complete. As for what to say while exchanging rings? Here’s some ideas.
