Why Wedding And Engagement Rings Are On The Left Hand by Eve62(f): 11:43am On Dec 12, 2014 |
I just surprisingly learnt that the reason from ancient times why wedding and engagement rings are placed on the left hand is because it is believed that there is a vein (vena amoris) that connects from the heart (being at the left hand side) to left hand and the ring fings which indicates that your husband/fiance' is close to ur heart keeping feelings, emotions and continuous love. In thesame vein, the wedding ring is placed first before the engagement ring sothat the wedding ring is closer to the heart. |

Eve62: You got me wrong. I wasn't talking about any spelling. I was referring to your apt, albeit, unintended play on words. You were talking about how a vein connects to the heart, followed by your use of the phrase "In the same vein". That's very cool! I was complimenting you. 2 Likes |

lofty900: there are couples who dont wear wedding rings but every couple has a symbol of their love. That symbol irrespective of what it is is close to their hearts. Its just that the rings have specific meaning or indication as i've found out. |
