THE REASON A WOMAN WEARS HER WEDDING RING ON THE FOURTH
FINGER OF HER LEFT HAND, IS TO SYMBOLIZE THE BRIDE'S
FAITHFULNESS AND STRONG TIE TO HER HUSBAND. THE RING
FINGER IS THE LEAST MOVEABLE OF ALL THE FINGERS, AND IT
IS THE HARDEST TO MANIPULATE; LIKEWISE THE BRIDE SHOULD BE
STEADFAST AND STATIONARY IN HER MARRIAGE.
