Cannone made an interesting comment, and made me realize: baptism isn't like a wedding ring. It's like a wedding, because it's a one-time thing. You're just as married without the ceremony, I've believed for a long time. The difference is, God's word commands us to be baptized. It doesn't command us to have a wedding ceremony to be married.
Or, it could be seen as being like an engagement ring, since the true marriage ceremony will be in heaven (Matthew 22:1-14, Matt 25:1-13, Revelation 19:7-9):
"Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready."
It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
Then he said to me, "Write, 'Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb '" And he said to me, "These are true words of God."
