Our ring warming ceremony is completely inclusive. Our number is small, so we've invited our mums and dads to be the ring wardens, passing the ring pillow along the rows before returning to our dear parents, who will return the pillow to the celebrant's table. We felt that this inclusive ritual was a simple way that each of our guests can participate in our ceremony and feel part of the proceedings, whilst honouring our parents ( or stand in's). It's also an easy way to symbolise unity and calls on each of our guests to offer their support and guidance to our marriage.
We had a smaller wedding with 40 guests and did the ring warming ceremony as it's own ritual. 💍 All our guests were standing with us in a circle and the rings were passed on through a long string so they wouldn't accidentally fall down and get lost. Meanwhile we had music playing and everyone could just enjoy the sunshine, nature and connection as a community. ☀ We absolutely loved it and got many compliments from our wedding guests how they really liked this part, they felt involved and connected 💝 Since our families and friends come from different parts of the world it was even more meaningful to form a community. 🌎 If you plan on a big wedding and would like to incorporate this ritual for the whole party, I've heard that 200+ guests can easily do the ring warming during a ceremony that takes at least 30 minutes. Instead of string it might be easier to secure the rings on a ring cushion or something similar to have it passed on safely. 👍🏼 Enjoy your special day! 💝
