Derivation of a wedding ring

Among the eastern orthodox and eastern catholic Christians with whom the exchange of rings is not a part of the wedding service but it is rather exchanged at the betrothal. But this practice of a two ring her by the priest or by the best man has been stopped by the orthodox Christian church of Greece as this practice is often non-committing. Nowadays the ceremony of betrothal is being possibly performed immediately before the wedding which in common words is known as ‘crowning’.An European tradition says that in those days people used to engrave the name of ones intended spouse and the date of ones intended marriage on the below su***ce of the wedding ring which seems to symbolize the sentimentality of a ring as it become family heirlooms.
