WEDDING RING

A wedding is the sacred occasion in which the nuptial knot which binds the two different individuals in an everlasting relation is tied. Marriage cannot be completed without a wedding ring. In some countries a couple can wed each other only by exchanging wedding ring. It is a must in every wedding. The wedding ring symbolizes love, fidelity and marital commitment to each other.

But why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?

There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given, though many Legends existed.

* Thumb represents your Parents

* Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings

* Middle finger represents your-Self

* Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner

* and the Last (Little) finger represents your children

Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back. Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip.

Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents), they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later.

Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings, they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.

Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children), they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.

Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse). You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT, because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin!

ISN'T THIS A LOVELY THEORY?
