A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion for many people
although for an increasing number of persons
it has become a several-in-a-lifetime event. In any case
it is still a very special ceremony that binds not only a man and a woman together; today
gay male couples and gay women couples also observe the ceremony to affirm their lifelong commitment to each other. In such ceremonies
the gay wedding ring takes center stage.

Same-sex marriage is still illegal in the majority of U.S. states and in countries all over the world
so what gay couples opt for is to participate in a “commitment ceremony
” where the exchange of gay wedding rings also takes place. A gay wedding ring most often resembles the traditional gold or platinum wedding band. Of course
the couples are free to have the designs or the metal they wish for their gay wedding ring. Gay-related symbols are often engraved on the rings
and various textures and effects are available as well. Irish and Scottish rings
multicolored rings
woven rings – a wealth of options is available.

Homosexual and lesbian couples who have exchanged or are planning to exchange gay wedding rings in commitment or blessing ceremonies include Rosie and Kelly O’Donnell
and actress Sophie Ward and Rena Brannan. British musician Sir Elton John and David Furbish have also talked about getting married as soon as gays are legally allowed to join together in matrimony in Great Britain.

Jewelry designers such as Udi Behr are recognizing the need of “unconventional” couples to affirm their commitment to one another. Behr created a collection of gay wedding rings and gay engagement rings called “Love and Pride” in support of the gay rights movement. Behr
who is himself straight
is a popular designer among celebrities; famous people who buy his work include Sharon Stone and Britney Spears.

As with heterosexual couples
gay couples see their weddings bands as a tangible symbol of their love and commitment to one another. Notwithstanding governmental indifference to or disapproval of their needs and wishes
gay people will go on standing for what they believe is their right. The gay wedding ring
aside from its romantic connotations
has also become a symbol of the large part of homosexual culture in today’s society.
