Included in the series of gifts are the engagement rings, which are given during the betrothal stage and the eternity ring, which is given as a sign of a lasting marriage. It is also traditional to engrave the names of each couple as well as the Kelly Prom Dresses date on the inside of the bands.

The exchange of rings during the actual Design Wedding Dresses ceremony is not really followed among Eastern Catholic Christians and members of the Eastern Orthodox Church. What they do is exchange rings during the betrothal in what they call the two-ring ceremony.

While the usual practice is to have the ring bearer (who is usually a male young child) bring them during the ceremony, the British leave this task to the best man. But no matter what tradition you follow, wedding rings are universally designed to be a symbol of love and fidelity between a married couple.
