This question has always been on my mind as to why the Fourth finger was picked for the
wedding ring. Is it just because when the Presiding Priest says "In the name of Father, son
and Holy spirit" it ends there?
Well that is not it, i investigated further and and became better informed.
According to a tradition believed to have been derived from the Romans, the wedding ring is worn on the left hand ring finger because there was thought to be a vein in the finger, referred to as the ‘Vena Amoris’ or the ‘Vein of Love’ said to be directly connected to the heart.
Naturally, to solidify a union based on love, they'd place the ring on that finger that housed the vein of love to signify the romance the newly married couple shares. A pretty adorable physical representation of two hearts being connected
