The fairytale dictates that one’s love story begins the day they meet their soul mate, one who they would be intertwined with - mind, body, and soul - for the rest of their lives. But in actuality, true love begins when a couple decides to commit their lives to one another.
The tradition of exchanging wedding rings began with the Egyptians, the circular nature of them symbolizing infinity. Specifically in this context, the infinite love that man and bride promise to one another.
One might say, that by way of the blood vessels working their way from the ring finger to the center of love in one’s heart, the wedding ring is the spiritual conduit.
