"With this--necklace?--I thee wed." That's the headline of this USA Today article discussing a recent engagement and wedding trend: forsaking the traditional rings in favor of more personally meaningful jewelry. Above is one such item--the Double Face Unity Medallion, with the couple echoing the yin and yang of the tao.
The article doesn't go into spiritual adornment in depth, but I can't resist mentioning this quote regarding a woman who chose to memorialize her marriage with a necklace:
"She was married in a choker," Delaney says. "On their 20th anniversary, she'll just wrap it around and around."
The big question is, whose neck?
