My wedding ring is a simple style that is to fit with my engagement ring. I don't know how or what to wear during the ceremony.
Do I wear the engagement ring and he places the wedding ring on my finger with It?
Do I not wear anything and he places both rings on my hand?
Do I not wear anything and he places only the wedding ring on my hand and I put my engagement ring on after the ceremony with my wedding band?
Help! Lol

    I wore my e-ring on my right hand, then switched to my left after the ceremony.

    It's completely up to you what you want to do, but I've seen a lot of people do it this way.

    I wore my e-ring and just turned them around after the ceremony.

    My e-ring doesn’t fit in my right hand so that was one of the reasons I did it that way.

    Wear e-ring on your right hand. Have FH place wedding band on your left then after the ceremony move e-ring back to left hand before pictures.

    Most people put their engagement ring on their right hand before the ceremony. That's what I did when I got married the first time. And then after the ceremony, before pictures, you can put them together. Some photographers take pictures of the bride and groom hands with their rings on

    I plan on wearing my engagement ring like normal and then just switching the order after the ceremony is over. I have a family heirloom ring that I'm wearing on my right hand for the wedding so I can't wear my engagement ring on my right hand.

    My wedding band is a wrap so I am not going to be wearing anything at all and he will put it on my finger all together.

    I was going to place my e-ring on my right hand during the ceremony, but for some reason it doesn't fit my ring finger on that hand!

    I plan on putting it in the box and giving it to my MOH so I can put it on right with the wedding band once the ceremony is over.

    Or I'll just wear my e-ring and switch them like some other PPs have said cause I don't want it to get misplaced!

    You can do whatever you want. I wore mine on my right hand and just put it on top of the wedding band after the ceremony.

    Like everyone said, it is pretty much up to you. We each do what makes us the most comfortable/works for us. There is no wrong way, just a ton of right ways that can work for anyone. I will probably wear mine on the right hand and then switch it, but only because I personally want a photo of him putting the ring on a ringless finger.

    I have a cradle wedding band so I will have them together and my FH will just put them both on at the ceremony.

    Thank you for all the tips.

    My ring doesn't really fit on my right hand either. It's very tight and not sure if it will work. I may just give it to my MOH and have her hold it until after the ceremony and put it on then. I wasn't sure of the protocol.
    Thanks again!!

    I'm planning on wearing mine as normal, since I'm going to be wearing a family heirloom on my right hand. I'll just switch up the order after the ceremony.

    Now that my e-ring fits on my right hand I will wear it on that hand and then switch after.

    One of my bridesmaids held on to my engagement ring during my ceremony! I put it back on right afterwards.
