The precious metal echoes the date and symbolizes the strength and value of feelings that have been verified by time. The ceremony of exchanging rings should be made really solemn: it is necessary that people close to their spouses be present: parents, relatives, friends. And, of course, it should be a holiday that takes place under a certain scenario. Again, it is important to choose the program of the ceremony, and here are the options, Here are the most common of them:

But no matter how a couple celebrated this day, the apotheosisall the same, the exchange of silver rings becomes. In doing it, the husband and wife prove to all and to themselves the strength of their feelings, not fading with the years. In accordance with tradition, the spouses exchange silver rings at noon, putting them on each other's fingers instead of gold ones. At the same time, the latter fit into the family casket and are carefully stored for a whole year, until the next memorable date. Traditionally, witnesses from the wedding should be present at the ring exchange ceremony, but in some cases, for example, when celebrating together abroad, this rule need not be adhered to. After the exchange of rings, a feast or a romantic dinner, you can proceed to perform the third important rite - a family tea party.

According to the "rules of the genre", the wife pours two cups of strong aromatic tea, to herself and her husband, and the couple drinks it, sitting at an untidy table (the last moment is very important). This rite symbolizes the confidence of the spouses in the future together, that among the vanity and the outgoing they will be able to preserve their home, warmth and love.
