BlessIng of rings

[LaSainte]

Im sorry if this doesn’t belong here. I had no idea where to put it, so feel free to move it! I was married in the Vatican and we went to a papal audience later that week, where we had special seating with other recently married couples. We wanted to have our rings blessed, but when the Pope called for people to raise up the objects they wanted blessed, we didn’t understand because we couldn’t hear it and it was in Italian! So we missed it. My question: are our rings blessed because that was our intention, or did we miss out?

Blessing the rings is part of the marriage ceremony itself. So, your rings are already blessed.

I guess I was wondering if they received a papal blessing.
