What is more magical than getting married? For most people, it is one of the biggest days in their lives. Although the tradition is celebrated differently throughout cultures across the world, there is one thing that is universal, and that is putting the wedding ring on the ring finger of the left hand.

Why is that? While the exchanging of rings is one of the most touching and sacred part of any ceremony, if you never knew the reason behind the finger choice, now you can say that you do.

The incredible theory described in this clip explains 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.

Whether you believe us or not, you will be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful reason! The exercise involves clasping your fingers together and determining which ones can move and which ones cannot. After a few simple hand movements, you may just have a new understanding and appreciation for that which is beautiful and everlasting–marriage.
