Wedding rings are interesting; in Germany, one wear the wedding ring on the left ring-finger when one gets engaged, and then switches it to the right ring-finger when one weds. When I was engaged to a German girl, there was no end to women hitting on me under the belief that I was safely wed! Aloha! Rico
