Vintage Wedding
Old Fashioned Wedding DressIn the first place, then, the wedding-ring is said to be worn on the fourth finger, in accordance with an old but erroneous belief, that a small artery ran from this finger to the heart.
"This," says Wheatley ("Book of Common Prayer"), "is now contradicted by experience, but several eminent authors, as well Gentiles as Christians, as well physicians as divines, were formerly of this opinion, and therefore they thought this finger the properest to bear this pledge of love, that from thence it might be conveyed, as it were, to the heart."
