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.
I have never seen the rings blessed yet. Do they do that in the Catholic Church or something? It’s weird in either case. So show us where it’s done. Or get off that nonsense.

God >> Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God
Hmmm! Is it any wonder I believe God over SoothingDave?
>> I don't worship my Christmas tree.<<
I don’t recall anyone saying you did. Do you use it to celebrate the birth of Christ?
