What to engrave on a ring

It's interesting:
"I know it's Catherine and Stuart's wedding day, but all week I've only been thinking about what might have been … We were this close to a British ..."

Your engagement and wedding rings are symbolic of the love you and your partner share. Since you are meant to wear these rings forever, engraving a short sentiment on the inside of them will serve as an additional reminder of your engagement, wedding day and love.

1. A Special Date

   • Your wedding date and engagement dates are important to always remember. To ensure you never forget, engrave it on the inside of the ring. As the years go by, you will have a small reminder of that special date. While anniversaries will come and go that date will be locked in, and celebrated, forever.

     For women wearing both an engagement ring and wedding ring, you could engrave both with separate dates. For example, you could engrave the engagement ring with the date of the accepted proposal and the wedding ring with the date of the wedding ceremony.

     For couples wanting something even more special and unique, engrave the date of when you first met onto one ring and the date of the proposal or engagement on the other.

     In the case of men who only wear one ring, including the wedding date alone is sufficient.

   Initials

   • Remember when you were a kid and would write your initials together surrounded by a heart? In the case of an engraved ring, you can do something similar. For example, on the underside of the ring, you could engrave RH+TW, with the ring symbolizing the heart surrounding the love you share. Some engravers are even able to substitute the shape of a heart for the plus sign.

   Quote

   • Your ring can be as customized as you like...provided you have the room. Place a small quote about love, marriage or your partner on the underside of the ring. This will be a shared message only you and your betrothed will know about. Examples would be, "Love Conquers All," "Love You Always" or "Always Yours" with the initials of your partner.

     Instead of a worded sentiment, you could place in the numbers of a Bible verse, such as 1 Corinthians 13. Though this Bible verse reads "Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous: love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly- it does not seek its own....but rejoices with the truth," by placing the listing you are able to share this message in a shortened manner.
