Exchanging Rings
What tokens of your love and devotion do you have to offer one another? {These Rings/This Ring} May these rings be blessed as a symbol of this affectionate unity. Your two lives are being joined today in one unbroken circle. Wherever you go, may you always return to one another in your togetherness. May you find in one another the love for which all men and women yearn. May you grow in understanding and compassion. May the home which you establish together be such a place of sanctuary that all who are here today and others through the years will find there true friends. May these rings, soon to be on your fingers, symbolize the touch of the spirit of love that is in both your hearts. _______________, in placing the ring on ___________________'s left hand, please repeat after me: ____________________, I give you this ring as a pledge of my love, and as a symbol of our unity.
Optional: There are alternative vows and rings sections. After the vows and ring exchanges is an appropriate place to add another prayer such as the Unity Candle, the Rose Ceremony or ``To the Children''
