Do I wear my engagement ring on the day?

I wore mine on the other hand until after the ceremony than I swapped it over.

My mum is going to hold onto mine for the ceremony and then I'll put it back on for the photos afterwards. Is there someone trustworthy who can look after it for a few hours for you?

I wore mine on the other hand then swapped it back over as soon as we were married.

I'll be wearing mine on my other hand then swapping over.

It doesn't fit any other finger at all? It doesn't have to be the perfect fit, it's only going to be on there for a really short time.

I put mine on the other hand, it felt really strange and as soon as we sat down to sign the register I moved it back! Remember, it's only for like half an hour, if it doesn't quite fit I'm sure it won't come off during that short time! xx

I swapped mine onto the other hand during the first hymn as I'd forgotten til then. If it doesn't fit I'd get your mum/bridesmaid to hold onto it during the service. I put it back over my wedding ring as we left the church.

It won't go over the knuckles of any other finger and is too loose for my little fingers. It just slides straight off.

I think I'll give it to my friend then who's driving me there on the day. She's a witness too, so could maybe give it to me before we sign the register.

I've ordered a little bridal bag to have with me on the day, so I could put it in there along with my chapstick. ?

Why do you have to have a naked finger? I assumed you put the WR on top of the ER?

I thought this too ellebob, which is why I had the panic about it. ?

Now I'm panicking, haha! With my unshifting baby weight my ER now makes quite the groove on my finger so it would look pretty ugly naked

Mine didn't fit on any other finger either, so my mum kept it in her bag until after the ceremony and meal (once all photos were mainly done), I then put it on in the gap before the evening thing, as people were asking to see my ring during the day, so it was easier to only be wearing the wedding ring.

Thanks for this post! I didn't even consider that but it makes sense! Other finger for me too!

Nope, its convention to take your ER off, get married and put your WR on, then the ER is worn on top on the WR.

Apparently the wedding band is worn first as it is closest to your heart. I wear mine in the order: Wedding ring, engagement ring, eternity ring. Both my wedding and eternity rings are shaped to fit my engagement ring.

My engagement ring sits on top of my wedding ring too.

When bridesmaid for my sister and my friend i wore their engagement ring and gave it to them when over signing the register. I will get one of them to wear mine then get it back later on. They didn't wear it on other hand as both wore a ring that belonged to their granny as their something old. xoxo

I was planning to put my ER on my other hand, and putting it back on my ring finger after the ceremony.

I asked Mum about which way round she wore her rings (WR at base, ER at top), and apparently you wear them that way round, as you shouldn't take your WR off.

Mine doesn't fit on my other hand either - right ring finger is bigger than my left so it won't go over the knuckle and little finger is too small.

I think it fits on my daughter but not sure I want her to wear it! I was thinking just put the WR on top then switch it over.
