By Leigh Campbell

This union and oneness is uttered in Celtic wedding bands, which contains knots that commonly imply two different paths etched together as one.

The bands make possible the seriousness and the elegance of wedding traditions. Since these weddings in Celtic fashion are designed to inculcate old folklore and superstition in order to add mystery to the celebration, the wedding band that is as equally mystifying as that of the wedding theme itself, establishes the entire rites from the pre-nuptial portion to the celebration itself and to the reception become exceptional.

Celtic wedding bands are symbolic reiterations of the vows of marriage. Just as these wedding vows serve as solemn declarations of loyalty and dedication to the take one another as husband and wife, or man and woman, these bands serve as proof of the commitment to take each other as partners in life with full fidelity and consecration.

"Let love and friendship reign". This is the traditional adage carried on by the Claddagh wedding ring. Known as a Faith Ring, this ring is best suited for weddings because of its elegant design. It has two hands holding a heart, which heart is topped with a crown. Accordingly, the heart represents love, with the two hands representing faith and the crown as a sense of honor.

And so, with all the myths and legends, beliefs and customs, traditions and practices all theoretically laced into the wedding ceremony where two hearts are bound to take one another, the Celtic wedding bands best enthrall and rejoice to the blending of two hearts. It will indeed live on to become proof of the merger and keepsake of the vows to continue being committed and unwavering to each other. - 32532
