N2  - In the present paper I examine the organization of a special wedding ring ceremony of the Csángós, held at the statue of the Virgin Mary in Csíksomlyó (Romania). The rite is in practice since the 1970s, but in the middle of the 2000s its function has changed significantly. 10-20 years ago the Csángós considered this rite as an abnormal strategy of deviant people - for instance of those living together without being married. In a sense, this ceremony was analogous to "official" church weddings, that is, the young couple exchanged rings and vows, but - as it has always been a kind of "makeshift" - without the presence of any priests or witnesses. Untilthe middle of the 1990s the main/most important/basic function of the practice was to enable deviant people to emerge from their marginal position and get a new social status. Nowadays this ceremony is usually referred as a kind of traditional betrothal; moreover the Csángós attribute important religious meanings and improver-modernizing function to it - not to mention its economic aspects.
