Ring Retains TraditionalseRole— )
Even in Unconventional Wedding
•
The exchange of tokens of devotion, usually
in the form of finger rings, Is a part of almost;
every religious marriage 'ceremony.
In an age of so-called "honesty, young
couples are seeking very personal 'means of
expressing their devotion through wedding
rings.
Some couples achieve this by designing their
own rings. Many even fashion and make them
therris—elves-,---but most young couples are not
gifted in the arts of Taking jewelry and so leave
the task to master jewelers.

SYMBOLIC WEDDING ' rings have recently
increased in popularity among modern couples.
• Some of the unusual ones which local jewelers
have executed for up -coming weddings have
been an intertwined tree branch with two
branches extending from it to symbolize the
joining of two people info one and rings of
gold in the traditional love knot pattern.
In most instances bridegrooms dyer the past
two decades have chosen to wear wedding
bands whichmatch their bride's wedding
ring. Lately howeVr, it seems that bridegrooms
are having more to say about their own
weddings than many earlier ones.
Therefore, iri :many cases bridegrooms are
choosing wedding rings which are not neces-
sarily anything like those which they give to
their brides.
"WE THOUGHT it would be dumb to have
matching bands, just for the sake of saying
we were wearing matching bands," said one
recently married man.
Also, men's hands are usually larger than
women's hands, and so a design which looks
lovely on a woman's finger magi look too deli-
cate on her mOte's third finger left hand.
It is traditional and has been followed by most
soon-to-be married couples, local jewelers
say, that the initials of the couple are engraved
with the date of their wedding on the inside
of their rings.
