You really didn’t catch the part I have highlighted in red did you?

Deuteronomy 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. 31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God

Now tell us how wedding rings are used in serving or worshipping God?

You don't think marriage is a sacrament? The rings are a symbol of the sacrament.

The point, long since lost, is that we are not to worship anything except the One True God. We all agree on that.

It is the insistence by some that using similar material items as a reminder is therefore worship.

That simply does not follow.

If we can use a pagan symbol to remind us of our marriage vows, and have these pagan items blessed for this holy use, then we can likewise use other tools that pagans used for a holy use.

I don't worship my Christmas tree. God knows that.

Are you honestly implying that learning about the God of The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is not the God you are serving?

Because that is really saying something. Do you understand what you are saying?
