When you begin moving your relationship
forward to happily-ever-after, the first thing that comes to mind is I need a
RING!
Why is a ring so commonly associated with
wedding other than anything else? Well, you can thank De Beers for monopolizing
the diamond industry and their tireless effort of marketing campaigns. Okay, seriously! If anything, it is because
rings are unbroken circle, which many cultures understand it as a
representation of eternity. Hence, it is a perfect fit when couples decide to
join their hands together and share the rest of their life with one another.
I understand the confusion and stress if
this is the first time you are getting married...if this is the first time
you are looking into rings and learning about them. For the most part, both
your engagement ring and wedding ring are to go on your LEFT hand between the pinky and middle finger. Why I say for the
most part? Because we live in a very diverse world where there is almost always
some differentiation when going about the same thing. However, being in Canada, the local tradition
is as mentioned above or another common trend that has been adopted into many
cultures is the engagement ring being worn on the middle finger of your left
hand and moved to the ring finger after your ceremony.
If you like what your reading, make sure to
tune in next time as I talk about the different types of rings, when to get
them and how to pick them!
