Bonus: how rings are worn around the world.

• In most cultures, wedding rings are worn on the ring finger. This has to do with the ancient belief of the “vein of love” that allegedly connects the ring finger with the heart.
• The ring finger on the left hand is even closer to the heart. This is why people in North America, Great Britain, and other western countries prefer the left hand.
• Couples in Columbia and Brazil often wear their weddings rings as their engagement rings on their right hands, but after the ceremony, they put them on their left hands.
• Swedish brides can wear unique sets of rings consisting of engagement, wedding, and maternity rings.
