When Chuck and I started talking about marriage, I really became curious as to how the materialistic aspects came in to play...the dress, the ring, the shoes, etc. With most being tradition, the ring is obviously what I inquired about the most (what girl doesn't). I wanted to be able to completely appreciate it for more than just its sparkle and BEAUTY but it's true meaning. Though there is nothing in the bible that says a marriage is not a marriage without a ring, this is what the ring means to me:
My ring is a gift from my husband, to symbolize to the world, and to me, that there has been a profession of our love, a bonding of our 2 families to become one. My husband is taking possession not only of me and my child, but the support, provision, and care of us until death do us part. The ring embraces my left finger. The left finger is chosen because it is the only finger that has a vein running directly to your heart. Therefore, at every glance (and there have been many) I am reminded that as my ring embraces my finger, my husband embraces my heart.
