Where did all the habits, the faiths and the traditions surrounding the marriage come from? Here are some explanations.
The origin of wedding rings dates back to Ancient Rome where newly-wed couples would exchange metal rings as a symbol of the eternal cycle of life. Gold gradually replaced iron with the arrival of Christianity. Diamonds are mostly used for the engagement ring, a custom that dates back to 1477. The practice of wearing wedding rings on the fourth finger goes back to Egyptians, who believed that the “vein of love” runs through the fourth finger.
