There are a lot of emotions and excitement involved on your wedding day. You may have a question in mind whether you have worn the engagement ring on the correct finger or not. So, on what hand does a wedding ring go on?
As per tradition, the engagement ring is worn on the left hand’s fourth finger. There is a very romantic reason behind this fourth finger. In ancient Romans, it was believed that this finger had a vein that has a direct connection with the heart. Hence, wearing the ring on this lifeline finger is a symbol of love. Well! This fact is not true.
Although, no such vein exists in our body (but we love this story!) yet the tradition of wearing the ring on the fourth finger of the left hand continues in many countries. But there are always exceptions!
Countries like Russia, Colombia, and Greece have the tradition of wearing the ring on the right side. Many Catholic couples believe that the fourth finger has a connection with our hearts. Hence these couples (even living in Russia or Greece) follow the custom of wearing the ring in the left hand.
