Wedding Rings As a Traditional Marriage
Gift Most people the world over wear their Kelly
Prom on the left hand, specifically on the fourth
finger to signify fidelity to marriage. Others
however wear it on the ring finger of the right
hand. Those practicing Hinduism especially in
India however wear a bichiya or a toe ring for
the same purpose. The wearing of wedding band is
a tradition that originated from the Egyptians
and the Greeks who believed that wearing it on
the fourth finger will strengthen love because
the vena amoris of the vein in the fourth finger
travels directly to the heart.

It is believed that marriage is characterized by
a series of gifts and the ring is the last of the
series. Included in the series of gifts are the
engagement rings, which are given during the
betrothal stage and the eternity ring, which is
given as a sign of a lasting marriage. It is also
traditional to engrave the names of each couple
as well as the Kelly Prom Dresses date on the
inside of the bands. This has given rise to the
popularity of these items as heirlooms, usually
given by the female family members to their
oldest sons who in turn give them to their brides.

The exchange of rings during the actual Design
Wedding Dresses ceremony is not really followed
among Eastern Catholic Christians and members of
the Eastern Orthodox Church. What they do is
exchange rings during the betrothal in what they
call the two-ring ceremony. There is also a
difference between British and world traditions
as to who brings these items to the ceremony.
While the usual practice is to have the ring
bearer (who is usually a male young child) bring
them during the ceremony, the British leave this
task to the best man. But no matter what
tradition you follow, wedding rings are
universally designed to be a symbol of love and
fidelity between a married couple.
