Gloves and Rings

I would like to wear elbow length gloves during the ceremony. What is the proper way to exchange rings when wearing gloves?

Some gloves, called Gauntlets, which leave the fingers open, can be left on. If you have short gloves, take the left glove off and hand it to your maid of honor once you reach the altar, or at the same time you give her your bouquet. Then she gives them back and you can wear them again for the recessional. If you have long gloves, unstitch lengthwise (or slit) the underseam of the ring finger, so that you can slip your finger out. Or, have the slit glove finger tucked into the hand of the glove before you walk down the aisle. Your bouquet will probably hide the gloveless ring finger. You can restitch the glove later if you want to wear them again.

You can keep long gloves on for the receiving line if you wish, but take off any gloves during dinner or any other time you're eating or drinking that day. You may take gloves off for the receiving line if you are more comfortable with them off.
