In many countries in Europe (not only Orthodox), people wear the wedding ring on right hand.

I don’t see moving them afterwards is a bad omen. Your marriage will still be blessed regardless of where the ring resides.

I am English and would like to be married with my ring on my left hand. The priest knows we are both British and is quite laid back but do you think he will marry us allowing the rings on the left hand? My fiance said to just change them round afterwards but I don’t want to do that as I see it as a bad omen if he has blessed them on the right.
What do you think my chances are? Is this common?
