Orooro, wedding and anniversary bands from Mondera.com

While an engagement ring signifies a promise, the wedding band symbolizes the actual fulfillment of that promise, the marriage itself. It transcends adornment: it is an integral extension of the wedding vows themselves: "With this ring, I thee wed." We pledge our troth, we promise to love and honor and we exchange wedding rings as the symbol of that pledge.

It not only symbolizes this marriage, it also links you to the chain of generations past and future who celebrate the marriage ceremony.

For essentially the same reasons a bride will wear a veil to conceal herself from malignant spirits.
