The Meaning of Wedding Ring

It is a extremely important part during the marriage ceremony to exchange the wedding band between the bride and the bridegroom. A wedding ring implies a lot of blessing. It embodies the constant flow of love, a ring that stands for perpetuity where there is no starting and no end. Now let's go together to learn the significance of wedding band.



The exchange of the wedding rings during the marriage ceremony is an crucial part. The new bride would wear the ring for the groom, and the groom wears the band for the new bride. Generally the wedding ring is worn on the forth finger of the left hand. So this finger is also called ring finger. Why the wedding band will be put on on this finger? There was an historical belief that a very essential blood vessel ran from the ring finger on the left hand straight to the heart. It was therefore thought appropriately that a band that symbolized true love should be put on on the ring finger. The vein was given the name 'vena amori' which means 'the vein of love'. The Egyptians and Romans thought that, the wedding band which symbolize eternal love would best be put on on the ring finger of the left hand. Sounds romantic, right? It is said that the origin of the wedding ring is traced back to the early Pharaonic Egypt in North Africa. At that time, the wedding ring was designed to be put on on the third finger of the left hand.


The wedding band is usually round in shape; the shape symbolizes the relationship between the husband and wife, that's it is endless with no beginning and ending. It is thought that love moves around endlessly in circles for better or worse. It is an proper sign for the true indicating of marriage. The band unites the married husband and wife through happy or sad times. Sometimes, people think it is not good to buy the wedding ring and the engagement ring simultaneously, so they will take extra measures in choosing the band from its purchase to its care. In short, the band is a symbol of never-ending love and devotion between husband and wife. In the wedding ceremony, after the new couple says their vows, they will exchange the wedding band.

People endow the wedding band with so many hopes, it is not just a ring, and it is the milestone of life for two people.
