Introduction

Abraham Lincoln was a great man, so it's only appropriate that he would be the best at Wedding Rings. He never divorced his wife and wore his ring on the wrong hand throughout his life, but here are five other reasons why Abraham Lincoln would make a great husband:

He did not believe in divorce.

Abraham Lincoln's first wife, Ann Rutledge, died in 1842. A few years later, he married Mary Todd and they had four children together: Robert Todd Lincoln (1843-1924), Edward Baker "Edie" (1846-1935), Thomas "Tad" Lincoln (1848-1922), and William Wallace "Willie" (1850-1938).

After this period of marriage and motherhood, it's no wonder that Abraham Lincoln would not be interested in getting divorced! He was a very religious man who believed that divorce was wrong. This is reflected in his speeches as well as his actions; he even signed legislation against divorce during his presidency!

He wore his wedding ring on the wrong hand.

If you've ever bought a ring and been surprised to find it on the wrong hand, then you know what I'm talking about. The reason for this is that Abraham Lincoln was right-handed, but he wore his wedding ring on his left hand. He did this because he was superstitious, believing that wearing the ring would bring him good luck.

This may sound like a strange choice for a president who had to lead our country through its darkest hours—but trust me: there were plenty of other things about him that were even more surprising!

His wedding ring was made of his own hair.

Abraham Lincoln was a man with a lot of hair. He grew up on the farm and had to work hard for everything he got, so it's not surprising that he would have kept his own hair in his ring.

His wedding ring was made of horse's tail hair, which is why it matches his watch fob (the other half of which is also made from horse's tail). The rings were crafted by jeweler William Tod during 1849—a year after Lincoln married Mary Todd. But they don't match because they're not meant to be worn together: Each piece has its own use case!

He wanted to wear his ring while he was president.

Abraham Lincoln's relationship with his wedding ring was a complicated one. He didn't want to give it up, but he also wasn't about to wear it on his left hand—the same one that had been injured in the assassination attempt. In fact, it was just before he became president when he finally decided where to wear his ring: on his right hand.

Lincoln was born left-handed and grew up playing baseball as a child; he continued practicing this skill while serving as President of the United States during the Civil War (1861–65). He famously wore his wedding band on this same hand throughout most of his presidency because "if you don’t wear something around your neck or wrist near where people will see it," said historian David Ross Kairrow in 2004, "it means nothing."

He didn't want to give it up even when he died.

If you've ever seen the movie Lincoln, then you know that Abraham Lincoln didn't want to give up his wedding ring when he died. He was buried with it, and it was buried with him. Why? Because even though he had lost his wife (and thus his wife's ring), he would never want anyone else to have it either.

Abraham Lincoln's Engagement Rings is one of the most interesting rings in history

While the average Engagement Rings is made of silver and gold, Abraham Lincoln's was hardly typical. In fact, it's one of the most interesting rings in history: he married Mary Todd in 1842 and wore it on his left hand for the rest of his life—even when he became president!

The reason for this unusual choice was simple: he didn't want to give up his wife's gift even when she died. As he wrote in an 1876 letter: "I feel that I have no right to part with it while she lives."

Conclusion

If I had to choose between Abraham Lincoln and other historical figures, I would go with Abraham Lincoln. Not only did he have a great sense of humor, but he also was an avid lover of history who would be able to take us back through time and share his knowledge with us. If you want someone who knows their stuff when it comes to weddings and wedding rings then this is the perfect choice!
