which hand do you wear your wedding ring on

The hand on which a wedding ring is worn varies by country and tradition. In most countries like the UK, USA, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland, the wedding ring is traditionally worn on the left hand's ring finger due to the ancient belief that the left ring finger has a vein (vena amoris) connected directly to the heart, symbolizing love and loyalty. However, in countries such as Germany, Austria, Poland, Norway, Russia, and India, the wedding ring is commonly worn on the right hand's ring finger. The right hand in some cultures symbolizes trust, loyalty, and honor. There are no universal rules, and choices can also be influenced by personal preference, handedness (left- handed people might prefer their right hand), and cultural background. Thus, both wearing the wedding ring on the left or right hand is correct depending on where you come from and what the tradition or personal meaning is for you.
