Getting married can be one of the most magical and amazing experiences in a person's life.
Nowadays, most weddings are extremely modern -- but each engagement and wedding is bound to involve a certain degree of tradition, even if that includes a personal twist -- like this mother-son dance where the son lifted his mother from her wheelchair (http://www.littlethings.com/mom-son-wheelchair-wedding/?utm_medium=HuffPost&utm_source=huffpostPR&utm_campaign=weddingring).
One tradition that is almost universally followed is the placing of the wedding rings on the fourth finger. But why do we do this?
While the exchanging of rings is a heartwarming (http://www.littlethings.com/category/heartwarming-2?utm_medium=HuffPost&utm_source=huffpostPR&utm_campaign=weddingring) and sacred part of any ceremony, I've never known the reason behind the finger choice -- until now!
This exclusive video takes a look at one incredible theory as to why we wear wedding rings on the fourth finger. This theory comes from Chinese tradition, and is rooted in a belief that the marriage bond is the strongest and most important bond of all.
And whether or not you believe that this is the true reason, you will be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful reason!
Watch the video below and follow the instructions. After a few simple hand movements, you may just have a new understanding -- and appreciation -- for the beauty and enduring strength of marriage.
What do you think of this amazing theory? Let us know in the comments.
Please SHARE this beautiful story behind an age-old tradition with friends and family!
