EXCHANGE OF RINGS:
Who has the rings?
Let us Bow Our Heads …….. Lord, Hear our Prayer for (Bride and Groom) who are today united in marriage before you. We ask your blessing on these rings, which they give to each other as a symbol of their unending love and devotion for one another. We ask this in Your name. Amen
Just as this circle of your rings never ends, so may the love you have for one another never end.
REPEAT: With this ring, a symbol of my love for you, I thee wed.

The circle is the symbol of the sun, earth, and universe. It is the symbol of peace. Let this ring be the symbol of unity and peace in which your two lives are joined in one unbroken circle. Wherever you go, return unto one another and to your togetherness.
