 Romance › Why Are Wedding Rings Worn On The 4th Finger Of The Left Hand? by Ayima(op): 3:10pm On Jul 15, 2015 |
Wedding rings are pieces of jewelry that
are worn by couples forever, symbolizing
their eternal love for one another. The
reason why wedding rings are known to
be circular in shape is because a circle
has no beginning and no end; hence why
marriages are meant to last forever.
During a wedding ceremony, there are
certain rituals that are followed before
placing the rings on the hands; however,
the ring is almost always placed on the
fourth finger of the left hand, which
raises the question ‘why?’.
Thousand of years ago, there was a
Greek and Roman belief that a vein from
the fourth finger on the left hand ran
directly to the heart. This vein was
known as the ‘vena amoris’ also known
as the vein of love. This belief led to
the tradition of wearing the wedding ring
on that particular finger, symbolizing the
love amongst the couple being married.
According to scientific evidence, this
myth is not true, however many
individuals still like to believe it is.
The Chinese developed a theory, which is
actually really interesting and a bit fun to
try. If you look at your left hand, each
finger is a representation of the past,
present and future generations within
your family. For example, the thumb
represents your parents, your index finger
represents your siblings, the middle
finger represents yourself, your fourth
finger represents your life-partner and
the fifth finger, your pinkie, represents
your future children.
Now it’s time for a little experiment.
Place your hands together and bend your
middle fingers together, allowing for your
knuckles to touch. When doing this, allow
for your other remaining fingers to touch.
Begin to pull each finger apart,
individually. You will see that your
thumbs will pull apart because you are
not destined to be with your parents
forever. Now do the same action with
your index finger and pinkie; you will see
the same results. According to the
Chinese theory, you are not meant to be
together forever with your siblings, as
well as your future children as they will
leave the home and start a family of
their own.
Now try to do the same action with your
ring finger, which represents your life
partner. When you try to separate these
fingers apart, it doesn’t lift as easily as
the other fingers, right? This is because
you and your life partner are meant to be
together forever.
The more ‘practical myth’ behind wearing
the wedding ring on the fourth finger of
the left hand is that since most
individuals are right handed, this means
that the left hand is not used as much
(credit costanza at dresshead.com); the
ring will not be as damaged than if it
were used on the right hand. Also, the
ring finger is one of the least used
fingers after the pinkie.
Fun Fact: Did you know that not every
country uses the wedding ring on the left
hand? Countries such as Spain,
Venezuela, Peru, India, Norway and
Denmark wear their wedding bands on
the right hand, however still on the fourth
finger. It is said that the wedding ring is
worn on the right hand because it is the
more dominant of the two, symbolizing
the strength of the marriage between a
husband and a wife.
So after a few myths, theories and
traditions, at the end of the day it is your
decision on which hand and finger you
will wear your wedding ring. As long as
there is that eternal love between the
bride and groom, nothing else should
matter, right? |

| Romance › Gay Dads Gives Birth To A Healthy Baby Boy In Us by Ayima(op): 11:51am On Jul 15, 2015 |
This is the emotional moment as gayy dads gives birth and met their son for the first time..The couple’s emotional moment was captured by photographer Lindsay Foster who wrote “I had the opportunity to photograph this amazing birth on June 27 for a surrogate and two expecting and anxious daddies. Hours were spent with them in the hospital room while the surrogate mom was laboring and I got to know them quite well.They are two compassionate people who felt all the emotions that every new parent feels. They asked all appropriate questions of the birthing mom and the midwife and educated themselves as best as they could for their son’s arrival. I am so proud of these two dads.” “Thank you to everyone out there who has taken the time to like, comment and share our picture! This was truly an incredible moment in our lives that will be captured forever by the lovely Lindsay Foster Photography. We are so lucky that we have a beautiful, healthy baby boy! All comments posted are respected, although we may not agree with the negative ones, the positive ones far outweigh the negative. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. This is a moment of pure love and acceptance. Milo is surrounded by unconditional love and he will grow up knowing many different types of families and accept everyone, (intolerant people included). Milo was born during World Pride. This picture represents everything Pride is about. Love has no colour nor gender nor sexual preference. Love is unconditional. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts! xxoo” http://www.vibenigeria.com/gayy-dads-gives-birth-healthy-baby-boy-us/
