How to Exchange Wedding Rings in the Ceremony

The ring-exchange element of the wedding ceremony has been going on for thousands of years across all sorts of religions and cultures. There are dozens and dozens of ways to do it, and there's an equal number of things you can say about the rings in the wedding ceremony.

And then there are all the moving parts around the Ring Exchange in a wedding ceremony! If we overlook them, it can lead to anything from not having the actual rings when we call for them to the bride or groom stumbling all over their words when we ask them to "repeat-after-me."

As with every element of wedding ceremonies, it's my philosophy to break it down to its smallest components, to be prepared, and to keep things simple. In this video, you'll get the 8 steps for a Ring Exchange that works in the field for a real professional wedding officiant who uses it weekend-in and weekend-out.

This Ring Exchange will work for you, too.
