Wedding Rings History: As chance has it, the oldest recorded exchange of wedding rings comes from ancient Egypt, about 4800 years ago. In early Egypt, the wedding ring was linked with the supernatural, a never-ending band linked with eternal love. For the Romans later, the ring's acceptance by a young lady was a binding, legal agreement and the girl was no longer free. Today we accept the ring as part of a religious ceremony when we marry in church.
As time passes traditions change and, today, it is not only the brides who wear rings as a symbol of their lasting affection, but the majority of men also choose to wear this badge of fidelity and commitment. Most people wear the wedding band on the left hand. However, some European women wear the wedding ring on their right hand. Some Scandinavian women wear three wedding rings, one each for engagement, marriage and motherhood.
There are many theories as to why the third finger of the left hander came to symbolize marriage. Both the ancient Romans and Egyptians believed that a vein - called the vena amoris in Latin - ran directly from that finger to the heart.
