[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note

Wedding rings symbolize marriage: a spouse wears it to indicate a marital commitment to fidelity.

The double-ring ceremony, or use of wedding rings for both partners, is a relatively recent innovation. The origin of the practice is uncertain, but it was never widespread. The American jewellery industry started a marketing campaign aimed at encouraging this usage in the late 19th century. The practice never became widespread, although it did warrant mention in an etiquette book in 1937.

Learning from marketing lessons of the 1920s, changing economic times, and the impact of World War Two, led to a more successful marketing campaign, and by the late 1940s, double-ring ceremonies made up for 80% of all weddings, as opposed to 15% before the Great Depression.

================================================

I have used a macro extension tubes with 50mm f/1.8 lens here. The blurry edges is caused by the very shallow depth of field.
