How much do you buy into this wedding superstition ?
Superstition led to a tradition of wearing the wedding ring on the left third finger because it is said that a vein in this finger runs directly to the heart. It's a sweet idea, but science tells us that it's a myth. That doesn't seem to affect the left third finger's standing as the expected place to wear your wedding band. And brides who have an engagement ring and a wedding band often remove their engagement ring then place it back on their finger after the wedding band is in place, leaving the wedding band closest to the heart.
Will you be wearing your wedding band closest to your heart on your left third finger?
