Christian Ring Meaning and Blessings for the Rings

2/22/2023

 

The Blessing of the Wedding Rings.

Picture

Most couples exchange rings.  Many simply exchange them with no words, knowing their implied meaning.  Some couples share their own vows while exchanging rings.  Others choose specific meaning for their rings and what they symbolize to them and their marriage. For some, the blessing of the rings during your ceremony is important.  Being able to look at your rings over your lifetime and remembering the blessing your marriage is can be very powerful.  Over the years I've had couples specifically ask for ring blessings. 
Here are some great options.
Ring Blessing 1
And so we come Name and Name, to the presentation of rings by which you symbolize and bind your love. The circle has long been a symbol of spirit and the power of God. The sky and the earth are round. The wind in its greatest power whirls. The sun and moon, both round, come forth and go down again in a circle. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing and always come back again to where they were. Without beginning or end and with no point of weakness, the circle is a reminder of the eternal quality of God and of unending strength. Let the seamless circle of these rings become the symbol of your endless love and unending faithfulness. Your wedding rings are most special because they say that even in your uniqueness you have chosen to be bonded, to allow the presence of another human being to enhance who you are. Your rings carry a potent double message: We are individuals and yet we belong; we are not alone. As you wear them through time, they will reflect not only who you are but also the glorious union that you are now creating. God, bless these rings and the two who exchange them. Fill them with your Holy Presence. Keep them safe in the circle of your protection and love.

Ring Blessing 2
The circle has long been a symbol of God. Without beginning or end and with no point of weakness, the circle is a reminder of the eternal quality of God and of unending strength.

Your wedding rings are most special because they say that even in your uniqueness you have chosen to be bonded, to allow the presence of another human being to enhance who you are.

Ring Blessing 3
​Father, bless these rings which Name and Name have set apart to be visible signs of the inward and spiritual bond which unites their hearts.  As they give and receive these rings, may they testify to the world of the covenant made between them here

Ring Blessing 4
The ring is the symbol of the commitment which binds these two together in Holy marriage.
There are two rings because there are two people, each to make a contribution to the life of the other, and to their new life together.

Let us pray,  Bless, O Lord, the giving of these rings, that they who wear them may abide together in your peace and grow in one another’s eyes.

Ring Blessing 5
Let us pray.  Bless, O Lord, the giving, and receiving of these rings.  May Name and Name abide in Thy peace and grow in their knowledge of Your presence through their loving union. May the seamless circle of these rings become the symbol of their endless love and serve to remind them of the holy covenant they have entered into today to be faithful, loving, and kind to each other.  Dear God, may they live in Your grace and be forever true to this union. Amen

Ring Blessing 6
These rings mark a new beginning in your journey together, filled with wonder, surprise, laughter, tears, celebration, grief, and joy.

Let us pray: Bless, O God, the giving of these rings, that they who wear them may live in your peace and realized potential.
Amen.

Ring Blessing 7
Wedding rings are an outward and visible sign of an inward spiritual grace and the unbroken circle of love, signifying to all the union of Name and Name in marriage.

Diversity Statement
We are open to marrying any couple. It is our goal to meet each couple where they are and help them to have a positive wedding experience.  In order to meet you where you are, we approach every wedding with an open mind - we don’t know anything about you until you tell us and that’s only if you choose to tell us.  Wedding ceremony scripts have been written for years for brides and grooms. Now, bride and bride or groom and groom are very common. Some couples are choosing to forego traditional gender roles altogether and are using the terms spouse or partner. If you have made the choice to use non-traditional pronouns, please let us know, and we will be happy to honor your preferences.   Any wedding ceremony script can be changed to reflect those personal preferences.​
