What to Engrave on Your Wedding Ring

You’re getting married, and you’re picking out your wedding rings , but just as with your custom engagement ring , you want to add a personal touch.

Wedding ring engraving is the process of adding words, phrases, or symbols to the inside of a ring, typically between 15 and 20 characters. These words, phrases, or symbols express affection and commitment. They range from traditional phrases such as ‘til death do us part’ and ‘happily ever after’, to an inside joke, significant dates, or private nicknames.

What you choose to engrave is entirely up to you and your partner, but if you’re looking for ideas, here are three popular options…Perhaps one of these could serve as your “something borrowed”?

Option 1: Engrave your partner’s name or initials

A simple way to commemorate your love is to engrave your partner’s name, nickname, or initials into your wedding band. Short, simple, and sweet, this is an endearing tradition and one that makes your wedding bands that much more special.

Wedding ring engraving is the art of adding small personal inscriptions to the inside of the band.

Option 2: Add an Old English inscription

The tradition of “poesy” rings began in the Middle Ages and involved the swapping of engraved rings among lovers. Today, many of these rings are on display in museums, but their declarations of love continue to echo through the ages. Examples include ‘You have my heart’, ‘Two hands, one heart, ‘til death us part’, and ‘My heart is thine’.

Wedding ring engravings share words, phrases, or symbols of affection.

Option 3: Never forget your anniversary

When did you first meet? Capture that special moment by engraving the date that marks the start of your relationship journey. Alternatively, have the date of your wedding day engraved in your rings and never forget an anniversary!
