1. YES -- you wear the ring that he proposed to you down the isle. That should be the pretty diamond ring. Afterward, you can wear that on a daily basic or just have matching wedding bands to wear daily.
2. Dont wear it on your wedding finger cos thats obviously where the wedding ring goes o during the ceremony. i wore mine on the same finger but on the right hand until the end of the day when i put it back onto the correct finger on top of my wedding ring.
3. I'm getting married in April and I plan to wear mine on my thumb, then slip it on my ring finger after the ceremony. I don't know if that's considered proper, but it doesn't really matter.
4. Some do, some don't. I didn't wear mine, the best man kept it until after the ceremony.
5. Most people I know (including what I did) wear theirs during the ceremony. You can switch them around before the reception so your wedding band is at the back.
6. I am going to wear mine on my right hand during the ceremony, then I will move it back after the ceremony.
7. sometimes. a friend of mine had a wrap that her engagement ring fit into, and she didn't want to have to take off the engagement ring during the ceremony, put the wrap around it, and put it back on. so right before the ceremony she gave her engagement ring to the best man who had the wedding bands, and so the groom put both her engagement ring and the wrap on her finger at once.
8. Yes. I'm planning on wearing mine on my right ring finger and then slipping it over on top of my wedding band at the reception.
9. The main thing to remember is that the wedding band/ring stays closest to your heart. So if you were to wear your engagement ring down the aisle, then take it off before you put your wedding ring on--then slip that engagement ring on after the wedding ring. Simple. One complication I find on most brides is that the engagement ring doesn't want to come off at that particular time, then the brides would end up placing the wedding ring on the outside of her engagement ring.
10. I wore mine on my wedding finger--I didn't want to confuse my husband about what finger to slip the wedding band on and he was used to seeing the engagement ring on it. After we left the ceremony I just switched the rings so the wedding band was first. I don't think you'll find any official rules about how its supposed to be done. Do whatever you find the easiest/most meaningful.
11. um yes. you wear it on your right hand and then they put your wedding band on your left hand and then u put your engagement ring back on above the wedding band.
12. yes, you do wear it but on the right hand then put it on the left hand when the ceremony is finished or later that night.
13. I wore mine on my ring finger, then when it was time to exchange rings, I slipped it off, my husband put the wedding band on, then I put the engagement ring back on.
14. I had mine on until it was time for the wedding. I then gave it to my maid of honor so the only ring my husband put on my finger was the wedding band. After the wedding was over my MOH gave me my engagement ring back so as we greeted guests they could see my set together.
15. yes on the right hand.
16. I'm also going to wear mine on the right hand. That way I won't fumble with it by accident when we get to the exchange of rings. Whatever you choose, you should wind up with your wedding ring on first (closest to your heart), then your engagement ring. Best wishes!
