I havn't voted because im not doing this as im getting married in a registry office. I have never even heard of this before! lol Does the exchange of gold or silver symbolise something? xx

I have never heard or seen this before either. H2B and I won't be doing this. Just exchanging our rings xx

I'm Catholic and I've never heard of it before either hun. Been to plenty of catholic church weddings, although we're having a civil ceremony so I don't know...I would have assumed it's the exchange of the rings?!?

Most remarkable of all perhaps is the giving of gold and silver by the bridegroom to the bride. This has been much modified in the Anglican "Book of Common Prayer" which speaks only of "laying the ring upon a book with the accustomed duty to the priest and clerk"; but the Catholic rite, more closely following the Sarum, directs that gold and silver be placed with the ring and given to the bride while the bridegroom says: "With this ring I thee wed; this gold and silver I thee give, with my body I thee worship and with all my worldly goods I thee endow".



this is what i found relating to this

I had never heard of this. im giving H2B a present on the day though. xx
