Help to find a wedding ring poem

Gillsy, 25 February, 2010 at 09:50 Posted on Planning 0 4

I'm going to see the Registrar tomorrow to give notice and I wanted to take our music and readings/poems with me to see if they are ok.

I've got one reading already but would like one for when we exchange our rings. The Registrar has a poem about a Wedding Ring but its referring to a 'band of gold' - my ring is platinum and OHs is palladium.

Can anybody help me find a nice poem (not too slushy) about Wedding Rings or the exchanging of wedding rings??? Its a civil ceremony so no religious content is allowed.

I've only managed to find this so far which is ok but not ideal....

Wedding Rings.

Wedding Rings. Rings which bind.
Symbols which call to each wearers mind.
That people come and people go but
The wedding Rings remain.
Perhaps at times appointed end?
When all of the rings are piled
and stacked end on end.
Only two rings will remain.
To show that a single man and a single woman
lived together in every age.
In a kind of harmony upon lifes stage.

    Hey hun, found this so far - will keep looking

    The Legend Of The Wedding Ring

    Author Unknown

    In a far off country many centuries ago,
    A kind young king was married to a princess he loved.

    Together they lived happily
    Until they learned one day that duties were to force
    The king to journey far away.

    One night, before he left,
    He tossed some pebbles into a moonlit pool
    On the palace grounds
    As he sat thinking of his lovely Queen.

    Something wonderful occurred to him
    As the lovely ripples widened,
    From where the little pebbles had fallen.

    The next day,
    Remembering the glistening circles he had seen,
    He had a gold ring made
    To fit the finger of his Queen.

    "There is no ending or beginning
    To the circle of this band",
    The King said as he slipped it on her finger,
    "And that is why I have chosen this golden ring
    To be a pledge to you-
    My love will last through all eternity."

    And so, since that time,
    A golden ring has been a symbol
    Of the beauty of devotion
    And the beauty of the endlessness of love.

    I give you this ring
    This band of gold
    To love you always

    I give you my love
    Precious and true
    You know that my heart
    Is only for you.

    The fitting of this ring with its unending circle,
    symbolises my everlasting love for you.
    The placing of this ring on your finger,
    is the fulfillment of my dreams,
    to have you as my friend,

    to live as one forever.

    I promise to love, respect and honour you
    I will always be there for you, with you, beside you
    Let this ring be a symbol of our love,
    may it represent our today, our tomorrows,
    our future & our past.
    As I have given you my hands to hold,
    so I give you my life to keep.
