Wedding rings are a symbol of the commitment of marriage for both partners. Both the bride and groom usually receive rings. Wedding rings may be exchanged at the wedding ceremony, and may be the only rings given, or they may be in addition to the engagement ring, which is traditionally given from the man to the woman as a symbol of the couple's commitment to get married.
