The main object of this important act for the lovers is the wedding ring. Most often, the husband-to-be kneels in front of the girl and presents her with a ring. If she says yes, then the wedding preparations go on. Researchers claim that the engagement procedure dates back to the ancient world. Its description can even be found in the Jewish teachings of the Torah. The gift of a beloved’s ring was practiced in ancient Greece and ancient Rome.
