Wedding Rings
Hi,
Can someone tell me the importance of wedding rings in the sacrament of marriage?
Are they necessary?
Can a couple be married without them?
Does their marriage depend on each one wearing their rings?
Can these rings be replaced? If they can be replaced/exchanged, does abouna have to put them on again.
Thanks

Abouna prays over the rings and he ties them with red ribbons (zinar I think it's called). If he prays over them I'm sure there's significance to that.
Yes, I'm aware.. but can there be a marriage WITHOUT the rings?
Also, what if the couple want to get new rings? Is that possible?
I imagine that Coptic tradition allows for the replacement of rings since they could be lost or stolen.
