Always the Left!!
The tradition of wearing your wedding ring on the fourth finger of your left hand dates back thousands of years. During ancient Egyptian times, people believed that a vein, called the vena amoris or vein of love, ran from the heart to the tip of the fourth finger of the left hand. Wearing a wedding ring over that vein symbolized the strong love two people share. In the 16th century, England's King Edward VI declared that all couples must wear their wedding rings on the fourth finger of the left hand.
Before the king's decree, most couples wore their wedding rings on the thumb or middle finger of the left hand. In certain countries such as India, Poland, Greece, and Russia, the couple wears their wedding rings on the fourth finger of the right hand. Today, scientists know that all the fingers of both hands have a vein that runs through them, so in reality, the couple can choose whichever fingers they like to show their commitment to each other. Ultimately, the choice of which finger to wear your wedding ring is yours.
