Wedding Rings!!!

Recently I have noticed something weird here in Greece where old men/women put their “Wedding Rings” in their right hand and young people wear it in their left hand, for me it was like all elderly people are engaged and all the young are married!!! Because in Jordan from where I came from, you will have it in your right hand when you get engaged, then after you move on & get married you move it to your left hand. I asked Greek people why you do it this way, they simply answered you are the one who do it the opposite way… Hahaha a very funny answer!!!

Since I didn’t get a proper answer I consulted my ally in the internet world, I simply started googling “The History of Engagement Ring”. I have found many web sites with too many stories, at the end it’s all about cultures where some place their engagement ring in the right hand another in the left and some never use it at all. But the most interesting thing I found, is that most stories have agreed on wearing engagement/wedding ring in the fourth finger of the left hand because it is said that ancient civilizations Egyptians/Romans/Greeks believed that from that finger is the beginning of a vein that directly goes up to the heart, so the Romans called it vena amoris ("vein of love")... interesting isn’t it.

The question now why the hell I was looking to their fingers & why do we have to show people that we are committed ;)
