Learning About Modern Wedding Planning

As you begin to plan your wedding ceremony, it can be fun to learn about a long list of elements that people occasionally use in their ceremonies and then decide which ones you want to be a part of your big day. One idea that you'll sometimes hear about is ring warming, which some people enjoy including in their ceremonies. There are all sorts of different ways that you can include ring warming during your wedding, which makes it easy for you to customize this idea to suit you. Here are some things to know about ring warming.

What It Is

Ring warming is a process in which your wedding guests briefly hold your wedding rings in their hands before they eventually pass them to the front of the venue in advance of you and your significant other putting the rings on for the first time. This idea gets its name from how the metal rings will warm up slightly for a moment when someone holds them tightly in their hands. As your guests take the rings into their hands, they can offer a prayer for your marriage or otherwise share some good thoughts.

Who Can Do It

You have the freedom to decide how the ring warming will proceed. At a small wedding with a tiny group of guests, you might want the rings to pass through everyone's hands before they make their way to you and your partner. At larger weddings, it's often practical to include only certain people in the ring warming. For example, you might want your parents, siblings, grandparents, and perhaps a few other special people to take part in this element. It makes sense to have those who will contribute to the ring warming all sit in one row so that it's easy to pass the rings from person to person.

Why Do It

There are several reasons that you might want to include ring warming in your wedding ceremony. Beyond the idea that you may find comfort in knowing that people have offered prayers and well wishes to your rings before you put them on, this can be a good way to include some people in the ceremony. If you've honored some special people by making them your bridesmaids and groomsmen but there are other individuals whom you want to have play a role in your ceremony, this can be an easy way to include several people.
