It's called a wedding ring, but surely it should be called a marriage ring (startrek.website)

Like engagement rings denote the engagement... Maybe it's just English being its usual mess

A wearer of an engagement ring receives it when they become engaged, and a wearer of a wedding ring receives it when they wed. Seems pretty consistent to me.

Yeah, you get it at the event.

OP is acting like a birthday gift is only a birthday gift on someone's birthday...
