I know that this is going to sound like a stupid question, but do you wear your engagement ring at the wedding ceremony? Or are you supposed to go without it? Thanks for your help

Traditionally you dont.  What most brides do is wear it on their right hand during the ceremony.  Then as soon as the kiss, when you go to sign your registry, just slip it back onto your ring finer discreetly.

Hi Sonieee&Laceyj

Laceyj, I never thought of wearing it on my right hand. I had watch a few wedding shows on tv and people had been wearing rings on their right hand, however it never clicked. I was going to give mine to the FH to put on when he puts on my Wedding Ring.

Cheers

I think its depending on how traditional you are with your wedding. Its nor wrong or right to wear it or not to. Its your wedding day afterall, not societies

Ps. Congratulations

it’s also a little tricky to put the wedding band on first when your engagement ring is already there. again according to tradition your wedding ring should go on first as it’s closest to your heart…

I’ll be giving mine to my guy to slip on after he slips on the wedding band (or do a swap from right hand back to left hand) because mine are essentially a set since they match so well.

The right hand wearing is pretty common. I know my guy’s mother wears her wedding band then engagement band whereas my mum wears her engagement right hand and wedding on left.

It’s up to you and what you want to do. I hope I helped some.

hey ladies – i gave my e-ring to my sister in law to hold onto (she was the ring-bearer). Stuck with tradition during the ceremony, wedding band on and new husband slipped the e-ring on after the ceremony. I think, try it different ways, see which way you like it best. I have been wearing it the traditional way because… it’s tradition.. also because the wedding band is slightly larger than e-ring, so it’s keeping it on there. Today I moved wedding band over to right hand, two blingy hands! See how long this lasts
