Instead of exchanging rings ...


I read this on another blog, and I LOVE the idea:

Instead of doing a ring exchange, our officiant asked us to hold our hands over the other's heart and declare, "From my hand to your heart, I thee wed" which reminded us that love is an action. Our actions and what we do with our hands affects people's emotions. We must live every day choosing to love our partner and protecting and cherishing their heart and feelings.

It gave me goosebumps when I read it!

Anyone else done this? Or anything else very special and personal, while exchanging rings?

Thanks Rev. Jeri for your kind comments. Our officiant did a beautiful job weaving the idea into the ceremony. It was absolutely my favorite part, and many people found it memorable.
