Presentation of Rings
To Groom: May I have the Bride's ring, please.
A ring is a very precious thing—a token of your faith and your love. This ring is made out of precious metal. It is a never-ending circle that indicates the continuing love of God—a love that never fails, never presents itself haughty nor puffed up. The love of God and the faith of God is what causes His power to move in your lives.
I want you to wear these rings as a continual reminder of your faith, a continual reminder of the confession of faith you have made to each other and to God.
The Word of God says,
"Above all, take the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one."
If anyone could break up this union, it would be Satan, so give him no place. Give him no place! This is forever.
To Groom: Take this ring, place it on her finger, and say to her:
With this ring, I thee wed. It is a token of my love for you and a token of my faith that I release now, in Jesus' Name.
To Bride: May I have the Groom's ring, please.
To Groom: A ring can mean two different things. It can be a never-ending sign of love, or it can be a shackle. I am going to charge you with a memory you should remember always: This woman stands by your side, not under your feet. You have the responsibility of being the head of this union. You have spiritual responsibility.
I want you to wear this ring in remembrance that she is your helpmate. It must never be a shackle of dominance, but always a reminder of faith and love.
To Bride: I want you to place this ring on his finger with these things in mind. There is no place in the Word of God that gives people the right to dominate one another. Your vows have stated that you submit to one another in the responsibilities of this life, expecting God and His power to always make the difference. So place this ring on his finger and, as you do, say to him:
With this ring, I thee wed. I give it as a token of my faith. I believe with all my heart that this is forever. It is my love and my faith, in the Name of Jesus.
