One of the greatest symbols of commitment
and love that married
couples have for one another is
a wedding ring. When two people wear
wedding bands, it means that there is an
endless bond that can never be broken; it
forms a deep bonding between a husband
and his wife.
The exchange of wedding rings between
two people getting married began
thousands of years ago. At that time,
though, the man used the ring as a gift to
the woman. When the woman accepts
the ring, it means that she is officially the

this, but for the romantic at heart,
the tradition still prevails and millions of
couples still follow the custom of wearing
the matrimonial rings. Wedding rings are
not only worn by married people to show
others their civil status. It is also done to
