What is the origin of European weddings?

1840, Queen Victoria of England appeared in an elegant white wedding dress, and brides of the royal family and upper class followed suit, and white gradually became the first choice for wedding dresses. It symbolizes the beauty and holiness of the bride. Now, the white wedding dress has become the most important part of wedding culture. In any country, in addition to keeping their own national wedding dresses, more and more newcomers choose white wedding dresses. In addition, in the west, the bride will carefully preserve the wedding dress and pass it on to future generations, making the sacred wedding dress a beautiful treasure and a legacy of love. The ancients believed that the blood vessels of the left ring finger went straight to the heart. In the middle ages, the groom put the wedding ring on the bride's three fingers in turn, symbolizing the trinity of the father, the son and the holy spirit, and finally put the ring on the ring finger. So in all English-speaking countries, the ring finger of the left hand is used as the traditional finger to wear a wedding ring.
