Engagement rings date back to arranged marraiges when gold rings were circulated as currency. The groom-to-be would offer his sought after bride a gold ring both as his partial payment and as a symbol of his intentions. Brides-to-be in these earlier times wore woven bands of a given plant type and replaced them each year. In the Roman Era they wore rings made of iron to symbolize the permanent, unending nature of marriage. In Medieval times, grooms placed the ring on three of the bride's fingers in turn to represent the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Come down and help us start your "history" together.
