Engagement Rings

An engagement ring indicates that the person wearing it is engaged to be married. This ring is a gift by a man to his prospective spouse which signals his commitment to give himself wholly to her. The Question asked at presenting the ring is “ Will you marry me? “ and the most desired answer is “ I DO “.

It is upon this verbal agreement that a couple would proceed to engage in wedding planning arrangements.

In Western countries, the engagement ring is worn on the left hand ring finger, though customs vary across the world. Before agreeing to marry, a couple may choose to buy and wear pre-engagement rings, also called promise rings.

    The Wedding Ring

    After marrying, a husband and wife will each wear a wedding ring. A wedding ring is the symbol of the covenant of marriage between God, husband and wife. Marriage never started out as contract but as covenant, it is a covenant agreement that is meant to supersede a contractual arrangement. It is a union in which each person lives ultimately for the success and honour of the other. It is beautiful and filled with splendour and joy.

    A wife may wear both engagement ring and wedding rings on the same finger. Some brides have their engagement and wedding rings permanently soldered together after marriage.
