10 Fun Facts About The Origin of Wedding Rings

Hello, brides! Have you ever stopped to think about the origin of wedding bands? Who started the tradition and what was the meaning behind it? If you’re dying to know the answer, take a break from wedding planning for a while and come and join us for a bit. Read these 10 fun facts about wedding rings and satisfy your curiosity this instant!

 

 

(1) Wearing wedding rings on the fourth finger on left hand dates back to the time of ancient Egyptians. According to Egyptian tradition, wearing wedding bands signify either a business contract or represent love and obedience. Furthermore, they believed that the vena amoris, or “vein of love,” through which the heart’s blood supply ran passes directly through the fourth finger on the left hand. Hence, wedding bands were worn on what we now know as the ring finger.

 

(2) When Alexander the Great conquered the Egyptians, they adopted the tradition. They started giving rings depicting Eros or Cupid, the god of Love, to lovers as a form of devotion.
