How to Make Wedding Rings Exchange Unique

The wedding rings exchange is just as much a fundamental part of a wedding ceremony as any other portion. For this reason, this exchange requires effort and planning. To make the wedding rings exchange your own, choose a less traditional, unique planning approach. 


  • Create your own vows. The wedding rings exchange occurs traditionally, during the wedding vows. Placement of the wedding rings traditionally follows "With this ring I, thee, wed." Creating your own vows allows for changing the point in which the wedding rings exchange occurs. 

  • Release butterflies after each wedding ring exchange. Butterflies signify the creation of something new. These creatures emerge from cocoons after transforming into butterflies. This option requires careful planning and an outdoor wedding ceremony. For this option, a spring or summer wedding is required. 

  • Incorporate hand fasting into your wedding ceremony. Traditional Celtic weddings require that the bride and groom are joined by the wrist with a collection of thirteen connected ribbons. These thirteen ribbons have separate meanings. For example, red signifies passion. During the wedding ring exchange, the wedding official could remove these ribbons as each ring is placed. 

  • Incorporate a biblical scripture into the wedding ring exchange. If you are religious, the wedding official could read your preferred biblical scripture as the bride and groom exchange wedding rings. The wedding official could also say a prayer, after each ring placement. 

  • Incorporate your song into the wedding ring exchange. Most couples have a love song that is their own. Your wedding planner could arrange your song to play before or after the wedding ring exchange.
