Is it true, wedding rings have to be blessed?

I have never heard of this - is it a religious thing? Blessed by who??

If you are having a church ceremony then your rings will be blessed as part of the service. If you are having a civil ceremony then no, as it's not a religous ceremony and I presume the reason you would be having a civil is because you're not religous,

I surprised my hubbie with a ring blessing on his birthday a couple of years ago with a new wedding ring that I had bought as I had lost his. (long story). We had had a church wedding and it was a very short 5 minute ceremony, just the two of us and the priest. He blessed the ring and that was it (I did cry though, as it was in the same church we were married in and was still very emotional)

If you did want to arrange a blessing then you need to contact your local church and ask if you can have your rings blessed. They will just meet you at the church to perform the quick ceremony

Ring blessing is usually part of the full Catholic service or Cof E higher ceremony.

Some clergy will do this at the shorter versions too although it isn't obligatory.
