Rings on the Wedding Day

Okay ladies, what are all of you doing with your engagement ring for the wedding ceremony?

Okay ladies, what are all of you doing with your engagement ring for the wedding ceremony?

I've heard of some locking it up and not wearing it at all that day, and I've also heard of some moving it to their right hand for the ceremony.

Secondary question- Are any of you just wearing your band after your wedding day?

    My cousin held onto it, I was going to wear it on my right hand but my hands are two different sizes so it kept slipping off.


    I wear both rings now that I'm married except when I go to the gym then I leave them both at home.

    I plan to wear mine as I normally do but some time after we are married I will switch the rings, I guess before pictures. I will wear my band everyday but my FH will only wear his for special occasions. (He's a mechanic and it's not safe to wear to work)

    I wore my engagement ring like normal, DH put my wedding band on and I flipped them around right after the ceremony.

    I just kept it on during the ceremony, and DH put the band on in front of it. I intended to switch them after the ceremony but I couldn't get them off my finger, too much blood pumping through my veins that day!

    I didn't think about putting it on my right hand, but I was wearing my grandmother's ring on that hand anyway.

    Sometimes I just wear the band, sometimes both. The e-ring is kind of annoying during cold weather, it's a solitaire and slides a lot when my hands are cold, plus the stone catches on sweaters, etc.

    I plan on wearing mine on my right hand during the ceremony and moving it to the left afterwards. My band and engagement ring are meant to be worn together, but I'm sure maybe some days I'll only wear the band.

    I wore my engagement ring as usual on my left hand. The ring did not fit on my right hand except for my pinky in which case it was far too big. It worked out well though because we did a first look at a park nearby the venue right before the ceremony so it was nice to have my ring engagement ring on.

    I’m going to wear my engagement ring on my right hand and switch it to my left, over my wedding band, after the ceremony.

    I couldn’t imagine not wearing it at all on my wedding day, that’s kind of odd.

    Mine were soldered together and put on in one piece. Before I decided on a wrap I was planning to wear a single band and the plan was to wear the engagement ring on my right hand during the ceremony and move it over after the ceremony.

    I have an enhancer band so I had to give both to the best man for the ceremony. If you do have to take off your engagement ring, I highly recommend you wear a band or something on your finger while you get ready. A friend recommended this and it saved me a lot of panic moments when I looked down!

    I won’t be wearing my engagement ring after getting married so I’ll probably just take it off before the ceremony. We’re replacing it with a smaller set

    Thanks ladies, just curious. My e-ring is being replaced by a simpler, new set. FH and I realized after he bought my ring that my skin reacts differently to rose gold than white gold, and it isn't anything like an allergic reaction, but my ring leaves a dirty look all over my finger and the fingers next to it after wearing it for more than a couple of hours. Again, nothing major, but not something I want to deal with forever, and FH wanted to get me a new set.

    What a great question! I wasn't sure what to do with mine either. I don't want to take it off at all. Honestly, I was going to keep it on, let him put my band on, then switch it after. Lol. Love all the feedback.

    My engagement ring won't fit on my right hand, so I will wear it on my left and then just switch the rings around after the ceremony. I love my ring and how the band looks with it so I plan to wear them both.

    Wearing as normal because rings don't fit my other fingers.

    I'll switch at some point.

    I'm wearing both my rings. My E-ring cost far too much to just sit in a case.
