  1. Why is The Wedding Ring Worn on The Left Hand’s Ring Finger? The wedding tradition of exchanging rings before marriage has been followed from ancient times. It has been universally recognized as a symbol of promise, commitment, devotion, and everlasting love. Many traditions have been changed, removed and modified but, this engagement tradition is still the same. Nowadays wedding couples develop wedding apps for guests and enjoy their special days without getting worried about anything. They follow all the wedding traditions including the ring ceremony with full devotion but, most of the couples are just not aware of the reason why a wedding ring is worn on the left hand’s finger? So, here is the most accurate answer to the question.

  2. As we have already mentioned that the ring ceremony tradition has been followed from the ancient times, here we will let you know the reason behind it. Earlier, the Romans believed that the vein of the ring finger on the left hand directly connects to one's heart. And, following this belief, they called that vein the vein of love. Hence, they initiated this tradition to wear engagement rings on the left hand’s fourth finger. It is believed that wearing a wedding ring on this finger not just signifies the couple's love, commitment, and affection to each other but, also solidifies their relation. A newly married couple goes through lots of changes and both of them needs each other’s support to manage their new life. In such situations, they show their support to each other by wearing the engagement ring on the ring finger. This is how without saying anything they show the presence of being there with their partners forever. However, today’s scientific facts state that all our fingers have vein connections to the heart which cast a shadow over the ancient significance of the ring finger. While most of the people today still believe that the left hand’s ring finger is ideal for engagement and follow this tradition, many couples don’t obey this old tradition and have their wedding rings worn on other fingers. There are various apps like My Wedding App to help you manage your wedding arrangement or guests but, it's your choice which tradition you follow for your engagement, the old one or the one people are following today.
