Wedding Rings

 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 thought that little poem was nice. I got his ring in the mail on Monday! I was so excited! I purchased it on Etsy from Brent and Jess. I saw these rings a few years back and fell in love with them! I thought the fingerprint was the neatest thing. I was worried that it would either not arrive on time (I waited until last minute to order it...) or that it would not fit. Luckily it came before the wedding AND it fits!

P.S. His is the lower ring, mine is the top one in case you were wondering. :P
