Take this ring keep it to yourself: why we skipped the ring exchange

When we started thinking about writing our own ceremony, both my husband Clayton and I felt that there was something that wasn’t really feeling right for us about putting a ring on each other’s finger. It could be that we’re punks, it could be that we’re feminists, it could be for a bunch of different reasons.

So I thought that instead of exchanging rings, we could just put the ring on ourselves.
