Wedding Rings: Would You Get Married Without Them?

Marriages and wedding rings just go hand in hand. Say you spot a good looking woman or man in the checkout line ahead of you, you check him or her out as you wait for your turn and the first thing you look for is the ring on that special finger, trying to discreetly discern whether they are attached or single.

Wedding Rings: Mark Of Attachment?

Many men are not comfortable wearing their wedding rings, so they choose not to wear them and many women love wearing rings as accessories. That means you shouldn’t jump to conclusions about the status of a person depending on the ring. A widow may choose to continue wearing her ring, but officially could be single and ready to mingle, or a man who does not wear a ring could be in a committed relationship. A ring as a symbol of marriage or attachment is a cultural thing. There are many cultures around the world where a ring has nothing to do with marriage or engagements - it is just a piece of jewellery and people may wear it because they love jewellery, or as a talisman. Nevertheless, these days ‘the wedding ring’ has been accepted as a mark of marriage.

Wedding Rings: A Marriage Ceremony Without A Ring?

It is true that there are many cultures the world over that do not need a ring as a symbol of marriage, but the western world is so conditioned to accept the ring as an integral part of a marriage ceremony, that it is almost impossible to imagine one without a ring. No matter how simple the ceremony, there still has to be a ring! In fact even the animals and birds in the poem “The Owl And The Pussycat” by Edward Lear want a ring for the owl and the pussycat’s wedding. A wedding ring is a perspective we have built up about the ritual that is marriage. All it needs to have a marriage without a ring is a “paradigm shift”. And having had a paradigm shift, people would still look for another “symbol” for being bound in holy matrimony. So we may as well stick with the wedding ring.
