Wearing engagement ring during the wedding band exchange at the ceremony. What is the proper etiquette ?

I plan on wearing mine on my right hand and putting it on my left after ceremony.

Some chose to still wear it on their left and after the ceremony move the wedding band underneath it.

Traditionally you don't wear your engagement ring for the ceremony - or you wear it on the other hand.

I am going to wear my e-ring on my right hand for the ceremony and move it over after the ceremony. However when I met with my officiant he offered a script to have a part of the ceremony to put you e-ring back on your left hand after the ring exchange. I don't think we will do it though, we are keeping our ceremony short and personal.

The right hand is a good idea - unfortunately my R 4th finger is larger than my left ...so I can't do that .

I didn't wear my e-ring on either hand. I know some brides choose put their e-ring on after the ceremony or they wear it on their right hand. It's a personal choice, it's whatever makes you happy.

I think the technically proper thing to do is to wear it on your right hand or not at all. I wore mine on my left hand as usual and just switched places after the ceremony. It had been on that finger since he proposed; it would have seemed strange to not be wearing it.

Wow I'm glad somebody brought this up because I had no idea... I would've been up there with it still on my left hand smh

Since mine has a drop in wedding band (or a jacket), I won't be wearing mine until FH puts the whole thing on my finger. Which should be interesting because he could barely get my e-ring on when he proposed to me he was so nervous lol.

I don't think there is 'proper', only 'what works'. Most of my brides wear it on the right hand (though sometimes it won't fit; my right finger is bigger than my left.,.) some slip the wedding ring on top of their e ring and change it later, some have the groom give them both.

@ Alexis ...my FH was so nervous he tried to put E ring on my right hand

@ Celia ...thanks ...I think I will take your advice and do what " works "

I wondered about this too. I just wore my e-ring on my left hand until it was time for our vows/ring exchange. Switched it to my right hand no problem. Even managed to put my e-ring back on at the same time without issue. The etiquette police left me alone that afternoon so I guess I was fine!

I will most likely leave my e ring off- it doesn't fit on my right hand at all, and in Judaism you are supposed to get married in an un-cut metal, so no diamonds. I will actually be getting married in my mother's solid gold weddin band, then putting on my diamond ering and band after the ceremony, since that's what I bought to wear forever. I know it's odd to not actually get married in my ring, but I wanted a diamond eternity band and my mother offered to let me marry in her ring. I think it will be a good compromise and will still be meaningful.

My E-ring no longer fits on my left finger, so i have been wearing it on my Right hand for a few weeks. I plan on just leaving it on my RH.

I wore mine on my right hand during the ceremony and put it back on my left hand after.

I think ill wear it on my right hand and then swap it to the left after the ceremony!

Ughhhh i just tried my e-ring on my right hand and i do not like the feeling. lol call me weird but that shit was not for me lol im not a ring person in the first place so the finger that my e-ring has been on all this time is the only finger a ring can go on!! lol

I plan on wearing mine on my right hand for the ceremony. There is no way I could go without wearing it the first part of my wedding day. Especially since we are doing a first look. I need it lol
