How to wear wedding rings?
婚戒，你戴對了嗎？

many countries, the wedding rings are worn on the left ring finger. The left ring finger is said to have a vein that goes straight to the heart. That’s why people tend to wear their wedding rings on this finger.
在許多國家，婚戒都是戴在左手無名指上的。據說，無名指上有一根血管是直通心臟的，所以大家都愛把婚戒戴在無名指上。

some countries, the left hand is bad luck because the Latin word for "left" means "sinister". In these cases they wear the ring on the right ring finger.
有一些國家認爲左手是惡運之手，因爲在拉丁語中，左邊有凶兆邪惡的意思。因此，在這些國家，最好把婚戒戴在右手無名指上。

you’re not sure what the tradition is in your country and you don’t have anyone to ask, try looking at people’s hands in public and see which finger is common to wear the wedding ring.
如果你不確定你的國家有什麼特別傳統，你也不知道找誰去問，那麼就試着在公開場合觀察別人都是怎麼戴婚戒的吧。

you would also like to wear your engagement ring, it’s customary to wear the wedding ring first and then place the engagement ring after. That way the wedding ring is closer to your heart.
如果你還想把訂婚戒指也戴上的話，那就先戴結婚戒指，再戴訂婚戒指，這樣結婚戒指就更靠近你的心臟了。
