A ring warming is when you give your\u00a0loved ones the opportunity to hold the couple\u2019s wedding\u00a0bands with a\u00a0wish, blessing or prayer for your marriage.<\/p>

By the time your rings make it on to the fingers of the\u00a0couple they will be saturated with the love of their friends and family.<\/p>

What you will need<\/h2>
  • Ring(s)<\/li><\/ul>

    Run a string or ribbon down the rows of seats, then as part of your ceremony you can have someone introduce the ring warming and start the rings on their voyage through your sea of guests<\/p>
