RP from 08... Diff Reason Why Wedding Ring is Worn on 4th Finger!!!!!

Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?

There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese.....

Thumb represents your Parents
Second (Index) finger represents your Siblings
Middle finger represents your self
Fourth (Ring) finger represents your Life Partner
and the Last (Little) finger represents your children


Firstly, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back
Secondly, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip

Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)... they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later.
Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings).... they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.

Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)...., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.

Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse).
You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT.....because Husband and Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin!!

Neat, huh?
(Wonder how many of you actually tried this).

Yep it worked for all of us ... FH couldnt take apart his pinkies either ..(Because he broke them a while back) so I guess the kids are never leaving home!!!

Haha I had to call FH and explain it to him over the phone and he totally couldnt get what I wanted him to do with his hands hahahahah

But he finally got it... and at first he tells me that he can separate his ring fingers so i got mad... hahaha But then he said his middle fingers came apart so that didnt count... he redid it and he struggled to get them apart... So now I'm happy again...
