  Why wedding ring worn on third finger

  Modern "authorities" on etiquette follow their pred ecessors in matrimonial procedure, in urging that the w edding ring always be worn on the third finger.

  Before medical science discovered how the circulato ry system functioned, people believed that a vein of bl ood ran directly from the third finger on the left hand to the heart. Because of the hand-heart connection, the y chose the descriptive name vena amori, Latin for the vein of love, for this particular vein.

  Based upon this name, their contemporaries, purport ed experts in the field of matrimonial etiquette, wrote that it would only be fitting that the wedding ring be worn on this finger. By wearing the ring on the third f inger of the left hand, a married couple symbolically d eclares their eternal love for each other.
