Hello all, first time poster, long time lurker :-)
My fiance and I are going to order our wedding bands soon. We're
going to have plain platinum bands, nothing too fancy on the outside.
On the inside, we'd like to have a quote or verse engraved. It's a
small area to work with, so I'm thinking about putting half of the
quote inside his band, and the other half in mine. So my questions
are: Has anyone done this or something similar? And does anyone have
a suggestion of a short but pretty quote? I appreciate all your help!

Many Jewish brides use, "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine." I think
it's from The Book of David, but I'm not sure. It's not explicitly Jewish,
so it might work for you if you're not Jewish too.

*Song of Solomon, Chapter 2, verse 16 and repeated in Chapter 6, verse
3:
"My lover is mine and I am his; he browses among the lilies."

Then there's Chapter 7, verse 10:
"I belong to my lover, and his desire is for me."


Hope this helps,
Noe


*NIV translation, the King James is more poetic.

Some poems and sayings from a "Bridal Souvenir" dated 1876. Maybe these
will give you some ideas at least if they are too dated for you.

"Our hearts and hands we join"

"But for a being without end, this vow of love we take"

"Like fire and powder, kissed and flashed to air. Thy soul and mine, by
mutual courtship won, Meet like two mingling flames and make but one."

"When two that are linked in one heavenly tie, With heart never changing and
brow never cold, Love on through all ills, and love on till we die."

"But Love is indestructible. Its holy flame for ever burneth, From heaven
it came, to heaven it returneth"

"So soft our moments move, That angels look with ardent gaze, Well pleased
to see our happy days, And bid us live and love."

"Our hearts are so entwined That, like the ivy round the tree, Bound up in
closest amity, tis death to be disjoined."--

"Our meeting hearts Consented soon, and marriage made us one."

Hi Jen,
My husband and I did the same thing years ago and have loved it ever
since.
On the out side the band says "Always and forever" and inside it says
"In God's Care"
Actually you could fit the whole saying on the outside and the date and
your initials on the inside.. Best wishes..

It's from the Song of Songs, other wise called Song of Solomon. It is
in the Hebrew Scripture or the Old Testament if you are using a
Christian Bible.

These are great suggestions eveyone! Thank you and keep them coming!
Nothing is too dated - I think the older ones are quite romantic.
Bible verses are great too. If I find some myself I'll post them here
in case anyone else is looking for ideas.

Thanks so much :-)

Sorry, I clicked send before I finished my text. You may find some good
ones in that link, but there's lots of just normal bible verses. You'd have
to read through it all.

Those bible verses are mostly about *love* in general... The song of solomon
had the best ones related to marriage.

Here's a few other quotes I found from this link
http://www.aphids.com/cgi-bin/quotes.pl?act=ShowSubjects:

These are great!

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a teardrop.
-- Anonymous

We always believe our first love is our last, and our last love our first.
-- Anonymous

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
-- Anne Bradstreet

Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward
together in the same direction.
-- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Two souls with but a single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one.
-- Fredrich Halm

Marriages are made in heaven and consummated on Earth.
-- John Lyly

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is winged
Cupid painted blind.
-- William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act i. Sc. 1.

Now join your hands, and with your hands your hearts.
-- William Shakespeare, King Henry the Sixth

Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the
love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is a
miracle.
-- Marianne Williamson

I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
-- William Butler Yeats, from "He wishes for the cloths of heaven"

Yes, but most of the ones I read would require a honking huge ring
for enough space to engrave the whole quote! I just looked and
my ring says "NHP to GKF 9/10/66". There's nothing wrong with something
short-and-sweet like "Forever" or "Eternally", either.

One of the best things I ever heard of was in a wedding
planning book ages ago. Unfortunately, I forget the name
of the book, but not the quote.

"I lyke my choyce."
You could, of course, update the spelling if you wished.

My husband and I are both dancers, so the title of the song we used for our
first dance is very precious to us. We plan to use that title when we get
the rings engraved (we'll do that soon). We want to put "When you give" on
mine and "your love to me" on his.

Is there a poem or song title that's meaningful to both of you? It might
be a consideration.

Good luck!

Doubt that the stars are fire
Doubt that the sun doth move
Doubt truth to be a liar
But never doubt my love.

William Shakespeare.

A little bit too long for the inside of a wedding ring, but beautiful
nonetheless.

::nods:: My favorite Shakespeare quote regarding love is

'My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep;
The more I give to thee, the more I have,
for both are infinite.'

For two rings, perhaps splitting the line from the Song of Solomon (IIRC -
it's either that or the Song of Songs...I'm brain freezing right now <g>):

I am my beloved's

[And] my beloved is mine
