Quaker No traditional exchange of rings Muslim Rings are traditionally exchanged during the mangni, a betrothal ceremony, but not during the wedding itself. Hindu Traditions vary, particularly within different regions of India. Most Hindus exchange a necklace called a thaali or thirumangalyam in Southern India or called a mangalsutra in Northern India. You might say: "Praying the Almighty that I be blessed with a long life, I tie this knot around your neck. Oh! Sowbhagyavati, may Providence bestow on you a fulfilling life of a 'Sumangali' for a hundred years to come!" ******************** The Universal Life Church offers handfasting ceremonies, funeral ceremonies and free minister training.
