There are two speculated reasons:
1.
Wedding ring finger was the thumb in the 17th century, but the
4th finger was used during the ceremony. Some feel that during a Christian
wedding, the priest arrives at the 4th finger after touching three fingers
on the left hand "In the Name of the Father...Son...and Holy Ghost."
2. The Egyptians and Romans believed that the ring finger follows the "vena amoris"
or vein of love which is directly connected to the heart.
These days, many American women are "rebelling" and wearing the
wedding ring on their right
fourth finger. The wedding ring finger on the right hand has been very popular in Europe for
many years.
