wedding rings

wedding rings, wedding bands... whatever you want to call them, they are the epitome of symbolism.

they symbolise a person's relationship with another,
they symbolise a lifelong commitment that has been made,
and they symbolise an everlasting love that is one's marriage.

How?
the ring is circular. Circles have no beginning or end, they just continue infinitely.
the ring is worn to represent all these things and it is obvious that it is there.
the ring, is picked out carefully to match the design the couple prefers.
the ring is placed on the person's ring finger, because that finger has a vein which apparently is connected directly to the heart.
the ring is given as a token of their love and commitment in front of many so that they may publicly show their commitment to each other.

i believe that
if a couple is together for the long haul, whether they are married or not... if they want to show others their commitment to each other, and how much their love signifies, i do believe an exchange of rings is one of the most meaningful and beautiful things one can do to show the other just how much their relationship means.

because not only does it symbolise everything i've said up top...
but it's also something many people look for when trying to scope out someone new to flirt with...
so it's kinda like a resignation of a life filled with flirting...

sometimes, i think monogamy would be fun...
