Engagement And Wedding Ring Set Article

Preparing for your wedding can be a traumatic affair. There's the stationery, guests, speeches, cake, flowers and so much more. When I got married I wanted (or my wife wanted) the best! This of course, can and usually does, amount to a rather large cost. I only had a very small budget and I very much wanted things like Dispoable Table Cameras, Favours and Personalised stationery.

I decided to create my own personalised stationery. I created my artwork in Serif PhotoPlus and then put my publications, like place cards, table name cards and invitations together in PagePlus. I even did my own Order of Services. It was extremely easy and very cheap. The result was very professional.

I found it extremely difficult to find Wedding Accessories and Stationery cheap enough. There were a few web based retailers selling these things but not cheap enough for me to afford. A friend of a friend who worked for a wedding wholesaler quoted me prices that were a lot cheaper than I expected. It was for this reason that I decided to go into business with Celebrations. At Celebrations we believe we can offer you cheap Disposable Cameras, Favours, Confetti, Handmade Stationery and much more to give you a truly professional wedding day without the high cost.

The early Egyptians were convinced of the connection also, even going so far as to claim that the wedding ring finger is directly connected to the vein of love (vena amoris) that flows to the heart.

Ancient Greek and Roman cultures agreed that the vein in the wedding ring finger, also called the healing finger, runs directly to the heart.

In the ancient art of hand reflexology, one of the areas corresponding to the heart is just under the spot where a wedding ring resides on the left, not the right, hand. Pure coincidence?

The wedding ring finger was the last touched by the priest when quoting the "Trinitarian" formula, "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost."

During the period of western Barbarianism, brides were more often than not kidnapped and held captive. It is thought that the wedding ring was used at that time to tie the bride to the home of her husband-to-be, or whoever happened to be guarding her at the moment…like a leash!

The wedding ring of old was a promissory symbol. Since it represented a significant financial cost, it was something of a down payment by the groom, and deterred broken engagements (for which three years of excommunication was the punishment).

It is only recently that the custom of giving two wedding rings--an engagement and a separate wedding ring--has been widely adopted. Previously, the ring given in engagement was also used during the ceremony as the wedding ring itself.

A very practical reason for the placement of the wedding ring is the belief that it would be less likely to be broken, chipped or lost altogether if worn on the left hand.

But did you know that the wedding ring was not always worn on the left hand at all? There was a period when it was the custom to wear them on the right hand, and wealthy Elizabethans used their thumbs to display large, fancy rings!

Superstitions and customs abound around wedding rings. Anyone might feel, for example, that it was a portent of ill omen if the ring were dropped before the wedding, and even worse if it were broken or lost! But it's also generally considered bad luck to buy your wedding ring on a Friday or to wear the ring before the actual wedding ceremony takes place.

The rings, of course, take on whatever personal meaning you give them. A beautiful concept, embraced by the early Egyptians as well as ancient cultures around the globe, holds the ring to be a symbol of eternity. The ring has no beginning and no end, thus manifesting perfect love for a lifetime…and beyond.
