To say your engagement ring goes on your finger first and THEN your wedding ring?

[jinglejanglejo]

So, just that. As you'd have your engagement ring on already at the altar and then your wedding ring goes on, surely?

A quick glance around shows others have it the other way around

I take mine off every night

I had an idiot jeweller tell me I couldn't have engagement ring first and then wedding band. Needless to say he didn't get my business. My engagement ring isn't bespoke but it is unique so had my wedding band made bespoke to interlock with it. They look fab they way they are couldn't give a toss what anyone else thinks.

I'm not married (and never will), so maybe I shouldn't be commenting! But I agree entirely that it's your choice how you wear you ring, the isn't a 'right' or 'wrong'; do what looks best, feels best, or makes most sense to you. It's interesting to read all the different opinions/options.

I just can't imagine wearing the same ring every day though, almost like choosing a tattoo for life (yes, i guess that's the whole point). I know I'd change my mind and want to wear different things, but that's just me!

I took it to be wedding ring first because people leave this on where some people do the dishes or wash their hands or do gardening or physical work so remove their engagement ring

I personally have the engagement ring on first and the wedding ring on afterwards, but this is mostly because the engagement ring fits slightly looser so I use the wedding ring to keep it from falling off.

I really don't think it matters that much, wear it how you feel comfortable.

This thread has made me realise I have them on the wrong way. I've gotten to fat and can't get them off now so can't even fix it

I dont wear my rings anymore but when i did it was engagement ring, then the wedding ring with a notch cut out so it would fit round the engagement ring and then my eternity ring

No. Engagement ring comes off for the wedding.

OOh. I'm bamboozled now! I'm eternity ring, wedding ring and then engagement ring. Its been so long now I can't remember why they are in that order but I have a feeling it was because they looked better that way! Romantic fool that I am.....😂

It’s not the wrong way if that’s how you want to wear them. There isn’t a right or wrong way - just personal preference

No, at the wedding ceremony you take off your engagement ring and the wedding ring goes on first. One reason is, years ago people never took off the wedding ring but you wouldn’t always want your engagement ring on.

The wedding ring takes place of the engagement ring, so engagement ring on outside.

Wedding ring on first, then eternity ring if you wear one, then engagement ring to “keep” the other(s) safe.

I think I took my engagement ring off during our wedding. Does it matter which way they go?

Nope, the other way round and on your wedding day it's usual to have a bare finger and then add your engagement ring after the ceremony. You wear your wedding ring near your heart.

I have wedding ring first as it has never come off since the time it was first put on, then engagement ring as comes off occasionally for things where having a diamond on my finger would be annoying!

Only if you want to, our wedding coordinator told me I had to not wear my engagement ring on my wedding day, and got quite irritated when I said no and ignored her.

She kept going on about the photos, I didn’t really care about wedding photos of my hands, she didn’t get that either 😆 So weird how people can’t comprehend that others just want to do things their own way, it’s only tradition not the law.

I'm a jeweller, I did what customers seem to do too - wear engagement ring during the ceremony, add wedding ring, but after that usually it's swapped over
