The exchange of tokens .of devotion, usually "

SYMBOLIC WEDDING rinds ' Mave 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 into one and rings of
gold in the traditional love knot pattern.
In most .instances bridegrooms over the -,past
two decades have chosen to wear wedding
bands which .match their bride's wedding
ring. Lately however, it seems that bridegrooms
are having more to. say about their own
weddings than many earlier ones. .
Therefore in 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 may look too deli-
cate on her mate'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 thecouple are engraved-.
with the date of their 'wedding on the inside
of their rings. o
