Oh, yeah, I just found some more irony. I think that it is ironic how a ring symbolizes a never ending union (circle) and yet, it doesn't do that. The ring actually tears apart two people when it's meaning can convey the union of two people. Sam gives the ring back to Frodo, but Frodo views Sam as his enemy. However, it is also ironic how the ring tries to tear them apart, but in doing so, the become closer than ever. And it is also ironic how the ring's symbolism of union, especially with Sauron, is broken by the ring being destroyed.
However, this was no ordinary ring, and not really a marriage ring, so it might not be considered irony, although, I believe it does.
