Irish and Celtic Wedding Rings


When your mate proposed did he ask;


"Would you like to be buried with my people?"


or perhaps


"Would you like to hang your washing next to mine?".

If he did, and you accepted, then it's time to switch your Claddagh ring to your right hand and face the heart inward signifying that you are a taken lass. Your fiance has used an old Irish proposal to ask you for your hand in marriage.

The traditional Claddagh he might propose with is a heart held by two hands with a crown upon the top. The crown stands for honor, the heart for love and the hands for faith. The motto for the Claddagh is “Let love and friendship reign.” Once your married you can switch your Claddagh to your right hand and wear it as a your wedding band.

As an alternative to the Claddagh many couples are opting for wedding bands that bear Celtic knotwork symbolizing how they feel about one another. The Lover's Knot is used in many Irish weddings as it's commonly believed that the weave symbolizes eternal unity and faithfulness. Others opt for The Warrior Shield as it is said to represent the unending circle of life.

But whichever ring you chose, the meaning that you and your partner assign it is what you will always carry with you. And if you opt for a ring that doesn't bear any Celtic or Irish symbolism it's still possible to honor Irish wedding traditions. Lore has it that the earrings you wear on your wedding day will bring you good luck for the rest of your life.
