The wedding ring is seen as a seal upon the wedding vow, a symbol of the couple's lifetime commitment to one another. It is also seen by some to be a religious symbol of the holiness and sacredness of marriage, as ordained by God. This chapter contains a variety of ring vows, some traditional, and many, nontraditional, since it has become popular for the bride and groom to write their own personalized ring vows, as well as the wedding vows themselves.
