Why wedding ring should be put on the fourth finger??

Very funny. I never heard this thing before :P

Wow, I didn't know that, I'm glad you put it here. After reading all the posts here now I know the answer why the wedding ring is placed on that finger. Thanks for the information.

I never hear of that one, you learn something new everyday, If you mother said it she knows what shes talking about.

I've never heard that, it is cute though. I always heard, like the other posts said, that there is a vein running to your heart. Frankly its probably all bunk, but its what we do now, and when someone is out in a bar, that's the finger they are checking. Just safer to follow tradition!

Also, wearing the ring on the left hand is another very old tradition. This originated because people once thought that a vein or nerve ran directly from the finger on the left hand to a vein in the heart.

That what I was taught, too. I never met anyone else who knew that old poem.

I don't know about all other fingers what I know is wedding ring is being put to left fourth finger because of it symbolical meaning for your dear love ones. In anatomy of human body, left fourth finger is the only one among our fingers that has vein which directly connected to our heart which symbolizes our true love.
