How to wear wedding rings?
婚戒，你戴对了吗？

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.
在许多国家，婚戒都是戴在左手无名指上的。据说，无名指上有一根血管是直通心脏的，所以大家都爱把婚戒戴在无名指上。

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.
有一些国家认为左手是恶运之手，因为在拉丁语中，左边有凶兆邪恶的意思。因此，在这些国家，最好把婚戒戴在右手无名指上。

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.
如果你不确定你的国家有什么特别传统，你也不知道找谁去问，那么就试着在公开场合观察别人都是怎么戴婚戒的吧。

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.
如果你还想把订婚戒指也戴上的话，那就先戴结婚戒指，再戴订婚戒指，这样结婚戒指就更靠近你的心脏了。
