It is believed by some that the couple's souls become one upon the exchange of wedding rings. Many people still dwell on the belief that wedding rings should be worn on the fourth finger of the left hand as they believe that there is a vein that goes directly to the heart. This, perhaps, is the reason why people then started calling this particular finger the ring finger. Actually, the right fourth finger is also called a ring finger, however, majority of the population in the present times wear their rings on the left hand.
