Ring Exchange 💍
The ring exchange between the groom and bride is a must in the ceremony.
First, the groom slips the wedding ring onto the bride's left ring finger.
Next, the bride puts the wedding ring on the groom's left ring finger.
I want to know the proper actions for this moment!
The time of ring exchange is when all the guests’ eyes focus on the couple's hands.
Do you have the correct actions and behaviors perfectly memorized for this moment...?
Whether you are a bride who is still unsure or one who has already studied, let’s do a final check together with this article.
Point ①
The height of your hands should be around the position between your chest and your stomach.
Be careful not to hold your hands too high or too low.
Point ②
It is considered beautiful and natural for the bride to lightly support her wrist with her right hand to prevent her left hand from shaking or wobbling.
(By the way)
Depending on the venue or the attendant, you might be told to place your right hand on your stomach.
It’s good to check in advance which looks nicer.
Point ③
The ideal elbow angle is 90 degrees!
Try to bend your elbow as close to a right angle as possible, and be mindful of keeping your elbows parallel to the floor with your fingertips. (Try not to raise or lower them excessively!)
However, to bend at 90 degrees beautifully, the distance between the two of you is important.
Practice together to find out how far apart (or close) you should be for the best balance.
Point ④
Be careful not to spread your fingers too wide.
Occasionally, there are brides who stretch their fingers like a frog's hand and create space between them while putting on the ring...
It’s best to position your fingers naturally without forcing them too wide.
A natural bend looks the most beautiful.
Point ⑤
Be careful not to tilt your neck too much.
Keep your back straight while slightly tilting your face down.
Try to avoid hunching and keeping your shoulders from slumping inward. *
Point ⑥
When placing the ring on your husband's hand, it is essential to support your left hand under his left hand.
Use your thumb and index finger to hold the wedding ring for placing it on.
It would be better to be aware of aligning your fingertips and joints neatly.
If you keep these key points in mind for the ring exchange, you’ll be just fine!
I’ve introduced important actions and behaviors to be aware of during the ceremony’s ring exchange.
If you firmly remember these key points, it will surely be a beautiful scene for the ring exchange ♡
The guests will likely be enchanted by your appearance.
At home, practice a lot in front of a mirror or by recording a video.
