Different sources describe the origin of the wedding ring tradition in different ways. Some authors believe that the tradition begins its history in ancient Egypt, others - in ancient Greece. The tradition of exchanging wedding rings has its roots in ancient times, when happy brides as a sign of love and devotion gave each other symbolic wedding rings woven from hemp or reeds. They have become the prototype of modern wedding rings. Later, in ancient Rome, there was a custom according to which the groom, as a sign of commitment to his future wife, during the engagement ceremony gave a metal ring to the bride's parents. Nowadays, the wedding ring has not lost its original meaning. Its round shape, which has no beginning and no end, symbolizes infinity and eternal love, and the precious metal from which wedding rings are traditionally made, is a symbol of purity and innocence.
