Untraditional exchanging of rings

Haley, on June 3, 2021 at 12:30 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 7
My fiancee and I are thinking about exchanging our rings on top of swords instead of the Christian traditional way since it's based on the Viking tradition of exchanging swords. Is it too weird or strange? I think it's sweet and unique but would love other opinions on the topic!

    It’s your day, you should do it now you want to. It also adds a little something different most aren’t used to. I like the idea.

    Do what you want, I wouldn't call it weird or strange - maybe unusual but the beauty of it is that its your wedding and you can do what you want!

    If you want to do it, do it! Just make sure swords are allowed at your venue and your ring exchange is done in a safe manner. I would run the idea by your officiant and venue just to make sure there aren't any rules against weapons.

    They're going to be model swords just cause I tend to be accident-prone 😂 but yes our venue approves and the planner actually wants to watch it to see how it happens

    I would accidently stab myself, I'm sure! This sounds really fun!

    This sounds awesome! Our groomsmen will have swords (wooden) all custom made by my husband and my bridesmaids will all have wands custom made by me! We are very untraditional
