For men and women, what are the traditional ring fingers for wedding

Hello Burnt_toast~

The "correct" ring finger has changed over time, and may vary
according to where you are in the world; but in the United States and
throughout most of Europe:

Wedding Ring: Worn on the fourth finger (the one next to your pinkie),
left hand for both men and women.

Engagement Ring: The fourth finger, left hand for women--and men, in
countries where men wear engagement rings. Once married, the wedding
band goes on first (nearest your palm), followed by the engagement
ring.

Other Rings: If the ring is not an engagement or wedding ring, it may
be worn on either hand, and on any finger except the fourth finger,
left hand.
