1. Your Names and Wedding Date
For brides and grooms who prefer a classic approach, this engraving never goes out of fashion. There should be room for at least your first names, but you can use initials if space is tight. It might not matter to you now, but engraved names and dates can help someone who tackles family research in the future.
2. Forever
Forever.. a simple word with an important meaning. Wrap your intent to stay together always (there's another top engraving) around your finger, where you'll be reminded of it every day. You can include your initials and wedding date if you like.
3. Amor Vincit Omnia
Latin for "love conquers all." Engrave a message in Latin and few people will understand it, making the sentiment more personal to you and your spouse.
4. Phrase from a Song
Anything from "All you need is love," to "I got you, babe." What lyrics are meaningful to you? Are they short enough to engrave inside a wedding ring?
5. Nicknames
Brides and grooms sometimes engrave each other's nicknames inside their wedding rings.
6. A Religious Phrase
Choose a portion of a phrase or verse that's significant to your religion.
7. Symbols
A heart, the peace symbol, the symbol for eternity--many hand engravers can add a symbol to the inside of your wedding bands.
8. A Special Phrase
Choose a personal phrase, one that only you and your future spouse understand the meaning of. Go ahead, inscribe the phrase in your rings, let everyone guess its true meaning. And there's no reason why the phrases must match--each of you can choose a special sentiment.
