Wedding Ring

Remember the earring holder I bought before I left for Taipei? Now its standing on my table, with pretty earrings hanging on it.

AND I HAVE NOT PIERCED MY EARS YET!!!!!

Where can I go pierce huh? The last 2 times I went to goldsmiths. But I want my studs to be nicer ones. Goldsmiths ones not nice. I have to wear them for at least 1 month before I can change right? Anyone knows where can pierce ears and got nice studs?

I read something interesting from one of the forums I frequent – why do we wear our wedding rings on the fourth finger? Here is an interesting explanation and ‘experiment’.


为什么婚戒要带在无名指上 (Why wedding ring should put on the forth finger)

请照着步骤做，你会发现上天造人的奥妙 (Pls follow the below step, really god make this a miracle)

1、首先大家伸出两手，将中指向下弯曲，对靠在一起，就是中指的背跟背靠在一起。(Firstly, show your palm, centre finger bend and put together back to back).

2、然后将其他的4个手指分别指尖对碰。(Secondly, the rest 4 fingers tips to tips).

3、在开始游戏的正题之前，请确保以下过程中，5个手指只允许一对手指分开。(Games begin, follow the below arrangement, 5 finger but only 1 pair can split).

4、请张开你们那对大母指，大母指代表我们的父母，能够张开，每个人都会有生老病死，父母也会有一天离我们而去。(Try to open your thumb, the thumb represent parents, it can be open cause all human does go thru sick and dead. Which is our parents will leave us one day).

5、请大家合上大母指，再张开食指，食指代表兄弟姐妹，他们也都会有自己的家世，也会离开我们。(Pls close up your thumb, then open your second finger, the finger represent brothers and sisters, they do have their own family which is too they will leave us too).

6、请大家合上食指，再张开小母指，小母指代表子女，子女长大后，迟早有一天，会有自己的家庭生活，也会离开我们。(Now close up your second finger, open up your litter finer, this represent your children. Sooner or later they too will leave us for they got they own living to live)

7、那么，请大家合上小母指，再试着张开无名指。这个时候，大家会惊奇的发现无名指怎么也张不开，因为无名指代表夫妻，是一辈子不分离的。(Nevertheless, close up your litter finer, try to open your further finger which we put our wedding ring, you will be surprise to find that it cannot be open at all. Because it represent husband and wife, this whole life you will be attach to each other).

真正的爱，粘在一起后，是永生永世都分不开的。(Real love will stick together ever and forever)

在命相学上也是这样

大姆指代表父母 (Thumb represent parents)

食指代表兄弟 (Second finger represent brothers & sisters)

中指代表自己 (Centre finger represent own self)

无名指代表配偶 (Fourth finger represent your partner)

小指代表子女 (Last finger represent your children)



How true the above is, I don’t know. I feel that nowadays many people do not value the meaning of wearing a wedding ring that much anymore.

Some people who are married, don’t wear it. For various reasons – Don’t want people to know they are married/trying to attract other singles/inconvenient due to work/ blah blah blah. Well, if you are not willing to wear, you can just think of one hundred and one reasons not to wear it.

Some people who are not married, wear it. Also for various reasons – For good luck (?)/recovering from heartbreak/to ward off unnecessary trouble/to tell people you are attached/blah blah blah.

Is wearing the band that important?

Yes, I think so. If you respect your other half, you will wear the ring that connects both of you, even if it causes you some inconvenience at work (Although I really can’t think of any reasons why it would). It is the significance of the bond that you share, the vow that you both have taken. That, is important, isn’t it?

But then, I also think that if the love between two persons is real, even if there is no ring, or even no marriage, nothing can stop you from showing that person how much you care, right?

Contradicting, yes I know I am…
