That’s why I like to face North - and my sun rises on my right:)

Only at the equator. Otherwise...it's askew.

The traditional ring finger wasn’t chosen at random. Ancient beliefs, thought to be rooted in Egyptian culture, presented the notion that a vein ran straight from your left-hand ring finger to your heart, also on the left side of your body. The ancient Greeks and Romans carried the belief on, dubbing the vein the vena amoris, or “vein of love.” Placing a ring on this finger, the one with the strongest link to the heart, made for a powerful romantic symbol. While no hard historical data supports these speculated beliefs, their stories inspire western newlyweds to carry on the tradition.
