According to a hook of ancient lore, a ring was chosen for a wedd ing pledge because it was the seni with which orders and documenta were bigned and secured. Conse- quently, it was held that the trans- fer of a ring admitted the recipient into the highest friendship and trust of the giver. Formerly, it was customary for the husband to hand the wife the keys of his household. simultaneously with his ring.
