There is a beautiful and logical theory as to why the wedding ring goes on the fourth finger, coming from Chinese myth. Look at the left hand, the hand where the wedding ring is placed. The thumb represents your parents. The index finger represents your siblings. The third finger, the middle finger, represents each of you, the individual. The fourth finger represents your life partner, hence the finger that your wedding ring will rest. (And the pinky? That represents the children you may have one day!
If you place your hands together, palm to palm, finger to finger, withyour middle fingers bent to touch, you’ll find that you can separate every duet of fingers except your ring fingers. That is because your life partner will be there for the rest of your days.
