Interesting Fact about Wedding Ring Finger
In most Western cultures, the wedding ring is worn on the left hand. Interestingly, in many countries, even today, including Norway, Russia, Greece, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Poland, Austria, Germany,Portugal and Spain, the wedding ring in worn on the ring finger of the right hand and not the left. In Jewish tradition, the groom places the ring on the bride’s index finger, and not the “ring” finger at all .
According to a
tradition believed to have been derived from the Romans, the wedding ring is
worn on the left hand ring finger because there was thought to be a vein in the
finger, referred to as the ‘Vena Amoris’ or the ‘Vein of Love’ said to be
directly connected to the heart . However, scientists have shown this is
actually false. Despite this, this myth still remains regarded by many
(hopeless romantics) as the number one reason
A more practically based theory is that the soft metal (traditionally
gold for wedding rings) is less worn or injured on the finger of the left hand,
due to most of the world being right handed. Further, the fourth finger
on the left hand is probably the second to the least used finger on a person’s
hands outside of pinkies. Pinkies being small, making a small ring with
little surface area to decorate, perhaps motivated people to then place it on
the next least used finger, namely the fourth finger on the left hand, which is
roughly the size of the other fingers.
Wedding rings today are a billion dollar sentiment of love , but
no one can really say for sure when this age old tradition actually
started. Some believe that the oldest recorded exchange of wedding rings comes
from ancient Egypt, about 4800 years ago

MOST EXPENSIVE MEAL EVER SERVED
Cleopatra bet Antony a large sum of money that she could host the most expensive meal in history and drink $500,000 worth for wine. The next day, as the meal in question was nearing its end, Antony said that it had been terrific, but no more impressive than her other banquets—and certainly not worth the sum of money she had specified.
At this, Cleopatra removed one of her pearl earrings , had a servant crush it, and dropped it in a goblet of wine . Each of the pearls was so large and rare that it was extraordinarily valuable. That one earring was said to worth 100,000 pounds of silver. It cost 100,000 gold aurie , a type of money used in ancient Egypt. The pearl dissolved in the vinegar, which Cleopatra then drank.
Antony conceded defeat—the value of that single drink, let alone the banquet, had indeed been more than any meal in history. Worth was so high they could have been used to purchase a entire country or send a full military invasion
