Why do we wear wedding rings—and what do they really mean?

In this fascinating episode of The Story of Us by Skoob, host Madison Reed uncovers the 5,000-year evolution of the wedding ring—from ancient Egypt’s circles of eternity to Rome’s rings of power and poison, and the Christian transformation that turned them into symbols of faith and love.

You’ll discover the myths, astrology, and hidden meanings behind the “vena amoris,” explore the darker side of ring symbolism, and learn how one ancient punishment inspired the very first ring in human history.

If you’ve ever wondered why a simple band carries such timeless emotion, this story will change the way you see love forever.
