When me and the Enemy get married next Feb, do we actually have to exchange rings by law as part of the ceremony or not ?

Reason is that i got her engagement ring from Sydney when we were there in 2000, and we want to get a matching ring for her from the same jeweller and one for me. Due to the distance probs the jeweller cant help out unless we get the rings after the event.

I am pretty sure it's the exchange of verbal vows and the signing of the register that provides the legal basis for the marriage....oh and the 'act' later on of course

Its just a symbol.
Why not buy a couple of Elizabeth Dukes for the day and then get the ones you want when you go back to Sydney and have a priest bless them for you.

Badger Stuffer

Use a plastic flower one from a cracker for her and a skull one from the market for you.

They are just a symbol for the day and it would add some comedy value to the proceedings.

I said to get one the fires water and squirt the registrar with them but the Enemy wasnt impressed

You don't need to. We decided to get married in a hurry (18 mths ago now), and wanted rings made to a particular design, in platinum to boot, which were frankly impossible to get hold of in time.

At the Registry Office they gave a form to fill in so the Registrar wouldn't ask embarrassing questions at the ceremony. I think there were 3, I can remember Will You Exchange Rings (yes/no) and Do You Want to Kiss after the Vows (yes/no); ie, he wouldn't say "You may now kiss" and get the answer "Thanks but I'd rather not". I remember we answered no to all, which looked quite unromantic

Please take a tip from me: after buying your wedding ring, perhaps at great cost (mine was about 400 quid) and getting sentimentally attached to it, do not then go diving on your honeymoon while wearing it. You may surface and find it's not there. If anyone dives in Mango Bay in Koh Tao (Thailand) and finds a distinctive platinum ring about 4m down in the sand, do let me know [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img][img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]. I couldn't even claim insurance as it was clearly due to my own negligence :even madder, particularly at myself:

Enjoy the day

i got married with my dads wedding ring and my wife borrowed one of her mate...all at the last minute.

we then flew to NY and got our rings at Tiffanys, which is like Samuels only with more 000000's and some doormen with guns!

We've been married for years and still don't have any rings. Didn't need them at the registry office.

Am I sick or just mad!

this reminds me of when i got handcuffed, the registrar asks me wifey to be, to repeat after her.

i wear this Ring as a symbol of my fidelity

so my other half says.

i wear this ring as a sign of my INFIDELITY [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
