Leaving engagement ring on

Hmmm I'll probably take mine off and replace it later.

Why not consider shifting it to the right hand and then once the ceremony is over place it back on your left hand to sit on top of the wedding band? I think that's what I will do.

I put mine on my other hand then swapped it over afterwards.

My sister did that. I definitely want the wedding ring to go over the engagement ring, symbolically to me it's right for the wedding ring to be added to the engagement ring

I just shifted mine to my right hand. The 'rule' is that the wedding ring goes at the bottom as its closer to your heart but if course like all rules you can just ignore them and do what you want!

Is there any 'rules' on how quickly you can put you engagement ring back with your wedding ring?

I'm literally thinking of putting my engagement ring with it as soon as its on my finger and I can!

I much prefer them together than my wedding ring on its own, I picked it around my engagement ring and its very thin.

I'm keeping my engagement first and my wedding ring will sit second. Partly because they look better that way round and because my engagement ring is a bit big and falls off in the winter!

I'm not one for doing things just because they're traditional or because everyone else does it.

I was unsure about this too, everything I've watched wedding wise, no-one has their engagement ring on. When we went to buy our wedding rings they made me take my ring off before trying on wedding rings, then my engagement ring back on. I'll probably leave mine off for the ceremony and put it back on later.

only 21 days to the big day!!!!!

Don't you just swap it to the right hand, then replace it later in the day?

I think the tradition is that you have a naked finger on the day of your wedding however i agree with you completely i would want my engagement ring on there for the ceremony as its special to me.

dont worry about what other people say or what the 'norm' is go for what you want to as its your day, your rules, your traditions ?

Great reply

The Reverend conducting our ceremony told me that the bride should wear the ER on the right hand to leave the left free for the wedding band to go on... but my right hand is a wee chubber and it wont fit!! and the thought of not having it makes me panic!! so im on the same track atm - as long as it doesn't offend the Rev I will be leaving it on!

I'm pretty sure the registrar told me I had to remove mine from my wedding finger. I gave it to my Mum to look after and she passed it back to me when we went through to signing the register.

I don't see any problem in wearing both on the same finger. I'm going to do this and I wont take the e-ring for the ceremony. This ring was first on the finger and than comes the wedding ring. Simple. You don't have to replace it only because other people do. Your choice. And sometimes it is even more convenient, especially when woman doesn't like wearing rings

If you're marrying in a church, you will probably be asked to move it. I'm taking mine off purely as I never want to take my wedding ring off! I'll put it on straight after tho!
