It sounds like you’re asking which hand to wear a wedding ring on. Here’s a clear explanation:
Which Hand to Wear a Wedding Ring On?
Common Traditions:
-
Left Hand :
In many Western countries (like the United States, Canada, UK, and much of Europe), the wedding ring is traditionally worn on the ring finger of the left hand. This tradition comes from the ancient belief that the "vena amoris" (vein of love) runs directly from that finger to the heart. -
Right Hand :
In some cultures and countries (such as Germany, Russia, India, and parts of Latin America), the wedding ring is worn on the right hand. This can be due to religious or cultural customs.
Engagement Ring vs. Wedding Ring:
- Often, the engagement ring is worn on the left hand before marriage, and then the wedding ring is added to the same finger during the ceremony.
- Some people switch the engagement ring to the right hand after the wedding.
Personal Preference:
- Ultimately, it’s your choice! Some people choose the hand and finger that feels most comfortable or meaningful to them.
