A Wedding Band: Traditional or Cultural?
Author: Stephanie Tuia
My mother wears a simple gold wedding band, whereas some of my
married friends wear decorative wedding bands featured with
stones, engravings and unique designs. So what is considered
trendy these days? What does your wedding ring look like or what
do you want your ring to look like when you get married?
In earlier decades, women, like my mother, opted for the
traditional wedd
ing band, noting simplicity and low-maintenance. Perhaps
there weren't many options of bands back then, other than just
being silver or gold.
Today, many young people anticipating marriage are thinking
outside the box, being open to a collection of unique wedding
bands. Well-traveled or exposed to different cultures, engaged
couples might not follow earlier generations with the simple
wedding bands. Here are just a few close ups of cultures that
offer distinctive wedding bands.
The Russian Wedding Band-Designed with three rings
intertwined to form a single ring, the Russian wedding band adds
thickness and texture to its appearance. With Russian wedding
bands, you can diversify the rings with multi-color tones,
adding a colorful touch to your wedding band.
The Claddagh Ring-Popular in Irish culture, the Claddagh
ring is composed of three symbols; a heart, held by two hands,
and topped with a crown. The heart represents love, the hands
mark friendship and the crown denotes loyalty, three elements
that symbolize a devoted commitment to each other.
Hawaiian Wedding Band-With a Hawaiian wedding band, your
spouse's name is embossed on the ring, commonly engraved in Old
English font. You can opt for a more visible view with the name
in black lettering or just keep it blended in with the band.
What better design than having your spouse's name engraved?
Symbolism of the wedding band After discussing the
several possibilities of distinctive bands, it's important to
shift emphasis on the symbolism of wedding bands. The wedd
ing band represents a love that has no end. Despite global
cultures that reflect their own unique décor to a band, the idea
of a wedding band is universal.
So whether or not you decide on a traditional or cultural
wedding band, keep in mind of the true importance of wedding
band symbolization; that is the never-ending love that you will
share with your spouse.

Wedding Etiquette - Who Pays for What |
|
Money Money There are no longer any hard and fast rules as to "Who Pays for What" for the wedding , but a general guideline follows as to the traditional breakdown. Working out a budget for your wedding is one of the first things that should be done once the date is set. Will the ceremony be formal, semiformal or informal? A formal wedding, of course, will be the most expensive and the informal, the least. Nothing is set in concrete. Who pays for what? Unlike a decade ago, the lines are no longer so rigidly drawn. The burden of paying for the wedding has shifted in recent years from the shoulders of the father of the bride, to include the groom's family. Also, with many couples marrying later and having money of their own, they are sharing in the expenses.
