Pagan is pagan.

If we are criticised for having Christmas trees, you can’t escape criticism for wedding bands.

Pagan is pagan. Either pagan things can be used for good, or they should be eschewed entirely.

Wedding rings are not pagan. The pagans got the ideas from the Jews.

Look up Jewish wedding customs and traditions. WHY do you think God points us to the Jewish wedding so often?

Wedding bands are not condemned in the scriptures...

Long robes, calling priests father, bowing down to popes and erecting Christmas trees are all condemned in the scriptures...

Not if they are used serve God they can’t. God says so Himself.

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

>> or they should be eschewed entirely.<<

Nice try but God Himself defines what should be.
