Christian Wedding Bands

Exchanging Christian wedding bands between the bride and groom is a normal part of a Christian wedding. Usually there is a double ring exchange, although sometimes there is just a ring for the bride. For some reason, some men refuse to wear a ring.

My husband and I had a double ring exchange, but not too many months after our wedding, he would not wear the ring anymore. He says it is because he gained weight and it does not fit but he does not want it re-sized. To tell the truth, I no longer even know where his wedding ring is. I wear mine always, but not him.My son is still wearing his wedding ring and it has been on his finger now for over a year so I am proud of him for doing so.

Personally, I think there should always be a double ring exchange and that both the bride and the groom should have to wear their rings because the ring says, "I am married; stay away; leave me alone" to others, but that is just me. Some men and women do not care whether or not someone is married. They feel everyone is fair game.

Getting back to the wedding ceremony, the exchange of Christian wedding bands usually occurs right after the wedding vows. The groom places the wedding ring on the bride and repeats a vow that the officiant says and then the bride does the same.

Ladies, if you are wondering about your engagement ring, take it off for the ceremony. Your wedding band goes on your finger first. I gave mine to my sister to hold during the ceremony and right after, she gave it back to me and I put it on so by the time the wedding guests hit the receiving line, I had both rings on. Another option is to wear your engagement ring on your right hand until after the ceremony.
