Yeah - the OCD in me kicked in the moment I saw that: somebody flipped the photo?

Maybe they are Europeans’ hands.

It’s probably a picture from some European couple. For example in Germany the wedding ring is worn on the right hand. During the engagement period the ring is worn on the left hand and is then switched over to the right hand during the wedding ceremony.

"Why are they showing Right hands when the wedding rings go on the LEFT hand."

In your culture but not in every culture.

Maybe the couple are Orthodox Christians. We uniformly place the wedding ring on the right hand at the wedding, and the photo is implicitly a wedding photo. In America Orthodox Christians will often switch it to the left hand later, but not always, esp. among Orthodox from Slavic traditions who will keep the ring on the right hand.
