Wedding rings are worn on the fourth finger of the left hand due to tradition. It is believed to have been derived from the Romans, as it was thought that the vein in the fourth finger was connected to the heart directly. Many countries have their own traditions with some Catholic and some Orthodox countries wearing the ring on the right finger.
