Wedding rings represent love and commitment, and they carry centuries of folklore alongside them.
Generations have passed down beliefs about what the ring symbolises, how it should fit and what that signals for your future together.
But do these superstitions hold any truth? Here are some of the best-known wedding ring myths and superstitions.
The wedding ring sits on the third finger of the left hand thanks to ancient Greek medicine.
Physicians believed a vein ran from the third finger on the left straight through to the heart. They named it 'Vena Amoris', the vein of love. Modern medicine has since disproved the idea, yet the tradition has outlasted the science to become one of the most romantic customs in marriage.
A ring that doesn't fit quite right is said to reveal something about the relationship.
Too loose: a parting of ways through carelessness or forgetfulness.
Too tight: a strain on the relationship, or one partner stifling the other.
A broken ring: the end of a marriage, with only the husband able to set it back on the finger.
Gold and silver bands traditionally signalled trust, representing the giving of something valuable as a token of faith.
A gold ring can also reveal the gender of an unborn child. Dangle it over the bump: if it swings back and forth, it's a boy; if it moves in circles, it's a girl.forth it’s a boy, if it goes in circles it’s a girl.
If either partner drops the ring during the ceremony, folklore says the fall shakes loose any evil spirits and clears the path for a long, harmonious marriage. A clumsy moment turns into a blessing.
An itch on the left ring finger means a proposal is on its way, or that your future partner is searching for you!
