The Tradition of Wearing a Wedding Ring







Do you know where or why this wedding tradition was started?

The story of wearing your wedding ring on the left hand can be traced back to ancient Roman and Greek times. Back in that day, the Romans believed that the vein in the ring finger (the fourth finger) on the left hand ran directly to one's heart. Because of this belief, they called that vein the "vena amoris" or vein of love. Naturally, to solidify a union based on love, they'd place the ring on that finger that has the vein of love to signify the romance the newly married couple shares.

Western cultures have pretty much accepted this age old wives tale to be true, wearing the engagement and then the wedding ring on that left ring finger. However, many people in Europe, choose to wear their wedding ring on the right hand ring finger instead. Ultimately, the choice is yours as it's only a symbol of a marriage union.
