It has long been believed that there is only one vein in the fingers, which leads directly to the heart, located in the ring finger of the right hand. Love is a heartfelt affair. Therefore, people who love each other, who want to walk the path of life together, after going through some procedures for marriage, put on each other wedding rings on their fingers, veins of which lead directly to the heart of a loved one.
There is another theory that answers the question: “Why is the wedding ring put on the ring finger when fixing the marriage of two people who love each other?” It has long been believed in China that each finger has its own meaning: the little finger is children; a nameless one is a loved one, the middle one is you, the index one is brothers and sisters, the big one is parents. If you connect your palms so that all the fingers are in contact with the pads, except the middle, the middle should be in contact with the phalanges. If you try to separate them, then not everyone can do it - the nameless ones will remain closed. The thing is that parents, brothers, sisters and children can leave, leave, but a loved one will always be there and never will leave. If true love, nothing will force him to leave the one to whom he has the warmest feelings.
So, putting on a wedding ring on a ring finger, an invisible connection is formed between a man and a woman, which serves as a true amulet of their feelings. After the death of one of the spouses, the other becomes a widower or widow, then the marriage is officially considered terminated, dissolved. A widow or widower has every right to consolidate a new marriage, but some prefer to remain faithful to those who loved them wholeheartedly. Such people can be counted on the fingers, mostly people are “aged” - pensioners who believe that they will soon be with their loved ones, you just have to wait a bit. They do not take off the ring that a beloved person once wore on their ring finger of his right hand. But where does the spouse’s ring go? A woman can put it on the ring finger of her left hand so that her beloved is always there.
To summarize, the conclusion is this: the wedding ring should be worn on the ring finger of the right hand.
