The story of wearing your wedding ring on the left hand can be traced back to ancient Roman and Greek times (really!). Back in that day, the Romans believed that the vein in the ring finger (the fourth finger) on the left hand ran directly to one's heart. Because of this belief, they called that vein the vena amoris or vein of love.
Occasionally the groom gets a separate wedding ring. In Germany and Austria both parties use engagement rings worn on the left hand. At the nuptials a wedding ring is put on the right hand, as in several east European countries, like Russia, Bulgaria and Poland.fter marriage, the ring is worn on the hand it had been placed on during the ceremony. By wearing rings on the fourth finger, a married couple symbolically declares their eternal love for each other. This has become a matter of tradition and etiquette. Many people wear their wedding rings day and night.
