Celtic Wedding Bands: Why Couples Choose Them

By Liam Grant

Couples who have dated and then become engaged have many decisions to make at that moment in their lives. What are their goals? How will they be able to afford a home and a life together? Do they want children? How many? Traditionally, little girls have planned their weddings many years in advance. Together as a couple makes determinations about their new life together, they will choose which wedding ring will best symbolize their union. Celtic wedding bands are chosen by couples because of their beauty, what the art itself means, and because they are classic.

Couples choose Celtic rings often based upon their unique beauty alone. Uniform loops, knots, and tridents are often found in Celtic design. Although they are generally created by simple lines, they often can become quite complex and ornate. Recently, whimsical lines and interlinking hearts have been included in some Celtic art. Unlike some designs, these ones can be studied for a time without becoming old and boring.

There are also couples who choose Celtic wedding bands to symbolize their heritage. The Celtic people at one point inhabited many parts of Europe. They weren't so much a nation as they were a series of tribes that spoke related languages. There were Celts at one point in Italy, Germany, Spain, France, as well as Britain and Ireland. Those couples who have family roots that stretch to the old world, often choose Celtic wedding rings to honor where they come from. Other couples choose Celtic rings for the culture they represent. There are many people who feel Celtic art connects them to countries with strong Celtic heritage such as Ireland and England.

Celtic designs are popular with couples because they have lasting value. This value comes from having withstood the test of centuries of time. Celtic wedding bands insure that couples will not feel their rings are outdated. As the marriage they are entering into, their rings should also be viewed as long term.

Ultimately, the type of wedding ring a couple chooses does not determine what type of marriage they will have, but it shows a lot about their personality. A ring should represent where a couple is, and where they want to go. They should represent what they are passionate about. Couples who share passions for music, art, and culture are often the type of couple that are most likely to grow together long-term.

Artists and poets today reflect on Celtic art as they create for the future. The beauty and elegance of Celtic wedding rings is one reason that couples choose them. They also choose them because of the honor and history they reflect. The art of the Celts has proven to be timeless and couples who choose Celtic rings ensure their rings will be a source of pride for a long time. - 33380
