I think it might be interesting to know that Germans wear their wedding band
on the right hand to. It must be some sort of European custom. You wear the
engagement-ring on your left and when you marry you switch to the right.
Usually the engagement-ring is then taken off. Very rarely do you find
someone wearing a double ring as is custom in the states. God bless. Doris
