In the past, I've answered advice questions from folks who are like "We don't want to exchange rings! How do we do a ceremony without wedding rings?"
Well, here's one more idea to consider: a wedding anklet.
I don't know much about Russ & Daniela's wedding other than what I could glean from the photos from Australian photographer Angelina Potapova … but from what I could see, it looks like my kinda shindig.
(Also, I'm a big fan of the bride's embroidered dress.)
PS: Thanks to Monica for the heads-up on this one.

I've worn anklet bracelets for quite a while now. But for me they're always ones I make from embroidery floss and wear til they fall off then make a new one.
I thought I really needed a special one for the wedding so I made one in our colors and then with some bright silver floss.

On the tv show 3rd rock from the Sun, the guy wanted a watch – b/c it's round. So the world is your oyster, essentially.

To be honest, from the pictures, the dress looks as if it could have originally been a kimono.

I could never do the anklet thing. Mostly because I would totally fall over if I had to stand on one foot in front of a bunch of people.

would love a better view of that DRESS! from the display on the heart pillow, it looks like they had an assortment of love tokens and I think it's great that she tied something into his dreds. looks like a fun time from the photos!

I've been looking for a wedding dress for several months. That is the most beautiful dress ever. I want to find something like that. Wonderful. And the anklet is a lovely idea.

Yep, I want the dress too. This is another wedding my celebrant did earlier in the year and I found on her site.
& Thanks for the link garnet, those barefoot thongs are BEAUTIFUL, must buy!

I was the celebrant at this wedding and there's a few more pics on my site (idodioweddings.com.au)
It was amazing, so many special touches.
The ceremony had a mayan theme and Russ got a jewelled clasp for his dreadlocks and Daniela received an anklet.
They totally transformed their St Peters home into a love tent.
It really was one of the best weddings I've ever been to!

Years ago I saw a couple using a tattoo as a ring. They hold each others hands, while an image was tattooed on their hands so that it was half on the brides hand and the other half on the grooms. I though that showed such a commitment that no ring could ever symbolise anything similar.

Oh my God! This dress is exactly the kind of dress I'm looking for our wedding. If anyone knows where I can find a similar (or the same!) dress, please tell me!!! I'm a big fan of the anklet exchange too. We're still debating whether we'll do bracelets or anklets or something completely different. Amazing photos, by the way!
