Learn the secret of wearing a "WEDDING RING" on the left hand
Among all the women's and men's accessories, the wedding ring was chosen to bear an emotional and perhaps an eternal symbol, and it brings together two parties to announce their stay together until the end and expresses the most sacred and human relationship throughout history, which is "marriage", but have you ever thought about the reason for choosing a wedding ring? Where did the idea come from, and what is its significance? Or is it random to be passed down through generations?
The first to use the ring or the circular ring as it was called, as a symbol of marriage or to express the bond of two people together for life, at least 6000 years ago - according to what was published by the "Business Insider" site. And rings were made of reeds or branches of the papyrus plant, and were transmitted by ancient cultures from the Egyptian civilization.
According to the Roman historian, Abian al-Iskandar, wearing a wedding ring on the ring finger, specifically with the left hand, was due to the Egyptians ’belief at that time that there was a tendon on this finger that reaches directly to the heart because it is the center of emotions.
Egyptian weddings
Even though arranged marriages are no longer the rule, they are still common in Egyptian weddings. After the permission of both families, a marriage agreement is formed. The marriage agreement is made up of two parts, the mahr, and the shabka, where the groom has to bring two gifts to the girl’s family.
The “mahr” is a sum of money that a groom-to-be pays to the girl’s family, while the “shabka” is a tradition where the groom gives his wife-to-be jewelry. A day or two days before the wedding, the Egyptian women have a henna party for the bride with her friends and female cousins. This night is typically themed, with the majority of the girls dressed in belly-dancing outfits.
The Egyptian marriage ceremony begins with a car parade with flowers and ribbons and wedding decorations. When the bride and groom arrive at the hotel, they are greeted by another human parade of belly dancers and drummers known as a "Zaffa."
