Wearing Your Wedding Ring 4th Finger Right Hand or Left Hand? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. eagle_f15 (1750)2 years ago

Does it matter to you whether you wear your wedding ring on the 4th finger right hand or 4th finger left hand? Many says for women it should be worn on the 4th finger left hand. My husband and I both wear it on our 4th finger right hand.

I think it is 4th finger left hand. I have wore a ring on my 4th finger right hand and no-one except this really stupid guy thought I was married.

I think Carroll O'Connor wore his on that hand. I'm not sure why. I guess a lot of people recognize it as a wedding ring on the left hand, but if it doesn't matter to you, it shouldn't matter to anyone else.

Oh yes please, anyone? I find this to be a very intriguing discussion. In fact I was the one that initiated it that we wear our rings on our right hands. Why do we have to wear it on the left hand. Does it even have any meaning to it? Or is it just plaing following of tradition? Why not change?


myLot reputation of 95/100. zweeb82 (1446)  2 years ago

Oh, you guys reply very fast. And I thought mine was gonna be the st post that's why I wrote what I wrote. Doesn't matter anyway, haha!~ Loving the responses.

we wear it on our left hand is cause our fourth finger has a direct vain to our heart

It was traditionally worn on the right hand, but Henry VIII in his break away from Rome, started the trend for it to be worn on the left hand instead and now it is generally always worn on the fourth finger of the left hand.

Oooh, this is very informative. Thanks Phaedra

I have never seen a wedding ban put in the right 4th finger, well I have but in homosexual couples.


myLot reputation of 95/100. zweeb82 (1446)  2 years ago

Ooh, I didn't know they wear wedding bans. That's something new. Thanks for the info


dandan1 (1)  9 months ago

that is false...homosexual couples wear them on the left hand just like any couple.....


myLot reputation of 99/100. eagle_f15 (1750)  9 months ago

Hmm.......actually it does not matter which finger the ring goes into. As long as it fits the intended finger and both couples are happy that's it. thumbup

Hello there, I will wear my wedding ring 4th finger left hand as it is a typical traditional way that I had better follow rather than against it. Frankly, I don’t know the real reason, but I believe my husband would be upset as my marriage status could be unknown or unrecognized by the third party if I wore my wedding ring on the right hand. It is wise to follow the custom in this case. LOL


myLot reputation of 99/100. eagle_f15 (1750)  2 years ago

yeah respect the head of your house is good. and that's your husband. As it does not matter whether to wear the ring on the left hand or right hand, and since your husband prefers it on your left, it is very wise of you to just follow his wishes to wear it on your left. My husband asked me to wear it on the right. So I wore it on the right. No significant or any religious thing he said it I obeyed that's all.

According to the Chinese tradition, woman should wear her wedding ring on the 4th finger of her right hand whereas the man on the same finger on the other hand. But both my husband and I don’t like to wear any ring so we kept our wedding rings in the locker since we came back from our honeymoon till now. lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. eagle_f15 (1750)  2 years ago

My husband and I also don't like to wear any jewellery so the only jewellery we wear is our wedding ring. I don't even wear earrings...not even on my wedding day.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (6855)  2 years ago

We have the common dislike to wear any jewelry. Anyway I have a necklace for practical purpose. I use it for hanging my pair of glasses while I am taking food as I don’t like to take food with the glasses on. The steam from the hot food always makes them blurred.

If I wear wedding ring, I will wear it on my 4th finger of my left hand as this seems to be a tradition:) The left hand is closer to the heart compares to the right hand. This is why the wedding ring is on the left hand.

It is said that for woman to wear wedding ring on the 4th finger left hand. But then again it does not matter as long as the ring is in is fine.

I'm not quite understand about how to wear wedding ring confused. I pressumed it has to be on the 4th finger on the left. But I'm not wearing mine, and no.. it wasn't because I want people to consider me as a single lol, but my ring didn't fit any longer in my finger since my kids were born lol.

LOL!!! extra extension on your finger!...I understand

I had always thought the wedding band was worn on the 4th finger of the left hand because there is a major artery leading to the heart in that finger hence the term "wearing you wedding band closest to your heart!"
