The first wedding rings date back to pre-dynastic Egypt, when couples would braid the strands of reeds collected from the Nile River and exchange them as a symbol of everlasting love. They were pure and simple. The circle represented the infinite and the hole a passageway into the future. They also placed the ring on the third finger because they believed it held a vein that ran to the heart. This vein is known as the superior vena cava, and the tradition of the wedding ring is shared around the world to this day.
