Engagement ring during ceremony

Do you have a bridesmaid it would fit who might be more likely to remember you need to put it back on? This was suggested by the hairdresser at a wedding I went to, she said it's what brides tend to do if the ring doesn't fit their other hand.

Pass to your MOH to pass back to you after ceremony

I just put mine on the other hand and put it back on with my wedding ring after the photos. I think having my H try to put it on top of my ER during the ceremony would have been awkward.

I'm going to take my engagement ring off on the morning, and wear it on the other hand; that was always my long term plan anyway, because my ER is a sparkly band and my WR is a plain band.

The best thing to do is switch it to your right hand before the ceremony. Then after the rings have been exchanged you can switch it back if you like.

I wouldn't give it to anyone unless they can wear it. There was an incident in the summer where a thief entered a church during the group photos and stole a bridesmaids little clutch bag. The bride had given the engagement ring to her for safekeeping. (It wasn't one of my client's weddings just one I heard about)

I'm lucky in that my ER fits my right hand so I will wear it on there then pop it on my left hand soon after? X

I put mine on my right hand and switched it back afterwards.

Yep, I put mine on my right hand and then swapped it back. Apparently your wedding ring goes first as its closest to your heart :-)

I'm planning to put in on my right finger during the ceremony and swap it back after, however I have jsut tried it on my right hand and it's a bit tight! Which means it probably won't fit in the heat of the summer - so I may en dup giving it to one of my BM's.

When I was BM for my sister she gave her ring to me to wear during the ceremony and I gave it back straight after I'll do the same I think.

I'm going to switch my ER to my right hand, but afterwards I'll be wearing the ER then wedding band to hold it in place!

My ER is getting too big since I lost weight and jewelers are reluctant to downsize it since it's a tension set stone. Chances are I'd lose the stone if they messed with the size

Thanks everyone. Will probably just swap hands or fingers with it - if I ggive it to someone else to look after I'm/they're more likely to forget about it lol. Might ask the tog to remind me if we have ring photos and i've not put it back where it should be
