Their history is the same as the rings themselves, has no beginning or end. Without an exact time as to specific when it came, the wedding rings were first used by ancient Romans. These rings, although they were known simply as "rings" were used to "tie" or people of bonds not only with his own class, but also their spouses. Specifically made in the ceremonies of betrothal, the groom gives a normal iron ring finger to the family of the bride as a symbol of its commitment to financially support the bride. If you are wondering why the ceremonies of betrothal and wedding ceremonies, it is because the commitment is more elaborate than the wedding.The belief of "finger" or "engagement ring" came from a much higher when the man tied the laces around the waist, wrists and ankles to a woman who has fallen to ensure that she and her soul will be under your control. It was later that the Roman Christians adopted the "engagement ring" and incorporated it into their wedding ceremonies. Is not it amazing how something so pagan involvement with Christianity?
Christian wedding rings do not differ greatly in the sense of commitment Roman rings. Even if today the groom gives and slides on the ring to his girlfriend instead of the bride's family, the act means almost the same: a symbol of your commitment to your wife, not only financially support their support but also to his love. Another meaning of this act is that the bride and groom are demanding from each other.
