QUOTE
During the service the wedding ring is placed on the fourth finger of the left hand. Why this particular finger? There are a number of possible reasons for this. In early Christian marriages, the priest would touch three fingers on the left hand while reciting "In the Name of the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit" and then close with "Amen" on the ring finger. Most people prefer to subscribe to the more romantic option of the vena amoris, or vein of love, running from this finger to the heart. It was during the reign of King Edward IV that it was decreed that the fourth finger be formally known as the "ring finger," shortly following this The Book of Common Prayer termed the left hand as the "marriage hand."
