wedding rings

[AngelK96 0]

Is the custom of both husband and wife wearing wedding rings the same in the Middle East as it is in the US?

My husband bought my ring(gold) and I bought his ring(silver) when we got engaged and had them engraved on the same day with my husband's name a heart and then my name and the date we got engaged. We both wore them on the right side while engaged and when we had our wedding party we each placed them on each other's left side.

When it was time to pick out our wedding bands, we chose matching bands of gold.

Wedding ring?

In all seriousness, the wedding ring is a pagan tradition. That's all I'll say.

But you have to remember that now most of the traditions we have are related to Pagan traditions.

I don't follow pagan traditions I also have several christian friends (JW) who don't follow pagan traditions either.

So they don't celebrate Easter?

"Under the definition for Easter in Webster's Dictionary (College Edition) one finds: "originally the name of pagan vernal festival . . . Eastre, dawn goddess." Further reading in an encyclopedia, or most books on the holidays will identify this Eastre with the pagan goddess known variously as Eostre, Ishtar, Semeramis, and Astarte".

Christmas? Valentine's Day?

"Unfortunately, almost every holiday that is commonly celebrated can be traced to pagan roots, including the lowly Ground Hog day."

"Christian or Pagan?"

Our holidays have Pagan roots! But they have become traditions for us so we continue to celebrate them.

Actually no, JWs do not celebrate any of those holidays either and I, obviously, don't celebrate them. You can celebrate whatever you like.... I just commented that wedding rings are a pagan tradition.

Wanted to add:

So what's wrong with rings that symbolize unity? I think it's one of the best traditions ever!

Jehovah's Witnesses don't in fact celebrate Christmas or Easter, or birthdays, for that matter.
