The Danish word [ "vielsesring"](javascript:void(0)) means "wedding ring." In Denmark, the traditional practice is to wear the wedding ring on the right hand's ring finger. This tradition contrasts with some other countries, like the USA and Canada, where the wedding ring is commonly worn on the left hand. The reason for wearing the wedding ring on the right hand in Denmark relates to the tradition that the promise of fidelity and the wedding vow is given with the right hand. Meanwhile, the engagement ring is usually worn on the left hand, symbolizing a direct connection to the heart based on an old romantic myth about a "love vein" running from the left ring finger to the heart. However, the choice ultimately depends on personal or cultural preferences, but the most common custom in Denmark is for the wedding ring to be on the right hand.
