Ever wondered what hand does a wedding ring go on?
Traditionally, wearing an engagement ring on your “ring finger” or 4th finger on the left hand dates back to the days of Ancient Romans. It was believed that this finger had a vein that ran directly to your heart. This vein is called Vena Amoris or “the vein of love”. Wearing someone else’s gift on your left ring finger is symbolistic of your heart being claimed by your lover.
The engagement ring is a symbol of promise of marriage. When you stack the wedding band in front of the engagement ring, it is the solidification of that promise. The perfect circle around the finger of your partner signifies eternity where there is no beginning or end to the love that you share.
During a wedding ceremony, the wedding band is exchanged from the giver’s right hand to the recipient’s left hand, making this symbol of forever closest to the heart.

This past Wednesday, we were invited to help the Connecticut Community Foundation celebrate and empower women in our community. It was a wonderful event with a powerful message.
The Connecticut Community Foundation is a charitable organization that raises funds to assist the citizens of the greater Waterbury and Litchfield County area. Everything from meals on wheels and funding for handicap access for the disabled and elderly to the womens fund and beyond. But on this occasion, we were rasing awareness and funding for the women’s fund which helps disadvantaged women and youth grow and prosper by putting them in touch with programs such as the YWCA and work programs that eventually lead to careers.
Following some mingling and a delightful dinner service at Aria, the stories of many young women were told and thanks were given to the many women who were influential role models to their individual successes.
Our services for the event included live audio for guest speakers as well as music during dinner service as well as audiovisual services for the short film shown at the event as part of our events production and live audio offerings.
For the past 5 years, it has been a great honor and pleasure to help the Connecticut Community Foundation with their continued mission to help others and be a good neighbor in the community. Congratulations to all of the women who have grown to become such an inspiration to many.
