The wise saying goes, “The ring is roundand my love for you will never end!”

A good feeling accompanies the present that you give to anyone. The bridegroom’s present to the bride has lots of significance attached to it. They are not only presents, they are commitments!

Taken in this context, wedding bands and engagements rings are very special! They are more than symbolic items of jewelry. These are repository of life long commitment to love and trust.

Your sweet emotions and untold goodwill is involved in these presents. In fact, they are the secret barometers of love, commitment, fidelity and eternity.

The History of Wedding Bands goes back to the 15th century.

The royal and the affluent people needed some thing to exhibit their wealth during the wedding ceremony. Golden rings encased with precious stones became order of the day, during such important ceremonies like engagement and wedding. Gradually, it turned out to be a social custom.

Why the gift of ring only? Why not a pendant?

Deep, touchy emotions are involved in this exchange of gifts. The word eternal gets the respect of the throne in these moments of human bond! It is eternal love, eternal happiness, eternal unfailing commitment and eternal togetherness. Rings take the honor because rings signify eternity. It is twice-blessed. It blesses the giver, it blesses the recipient!

The ring is a circle, it has no break. It is without the end or the beginning. It is eternal. Eternal things are immutable and indestructible.

And do you know the direct route to the heartthe Grand-trunk roadthe royal highway to the kingdom of love?
It is the fourth finger of your left hand. It is believed that it has a vein that leads directly to the heart. Therefore, both engagement and wedding rings are worn on this particular finger. The finger is thus the shortcut to her heart.

You can not think of a wedding without the wedding ring in any part on this planet thus!

Thank you, whosoever you are, for having discovered this direct route to the heart through the fourth finger!

And thank you for discovering only one route!

Before you go pick up those cases of little bottles of bubble stuff to give as a wedding favor for your wedding, you should take a look at some of the other inexpensive and imaginative ideas that you can do instead. The wedding favor that you give is important because it will be a small token of your affection for the guests that come to your wedding and as well as a memento of your special day. There are wedding favor choices in every price range and for any number of guests that you may have. You can choose to make your own favors or you can buy them. There are food gifts, non-food gifts, and ethnic gifts you can give as a wedding favor.

Food gifts are popular with many guests and you can get quite creative with them as a wedding favor. You can make a regionally favorite food such as salsa if you are in the Southwestern U.S., or berry jam if you are from the Pacific Northwest, and bottle it for each guest or couple with a personalized label. You can get wedding favor chocolates that are personalized right on the surface of the candy, or you can put them in a small tulle bag or decorative dish or jar. You can also get candy bars and personalize the wrapper with the guest’s name and their table assignment for a wedding favor. Baking mixes can be put in jars or in cloth bags along with a recipe card.

Non-food suggestions can be equally creative. You can give your guests a small porcelain or wooden box with a thank you note inside (this does not eliminate your responsibility to send a thank you note for the gifts.) Plants or seed packets are another unusual and fun gift. You can also give ethnic gifts from the couple’s country of origin, or countries of origin. Seasonal gifts are fun for any season of the year such as ornaments at Christmas time or a hand painted egg in the spring.

Get creative with your favors and it will make your wedding an even more memorable experience for you and your guests.
