Should I wear my engagement ring

[loveacuppa5]

Getting married in 3 months and it just occurred to me that I have no idea what people do with their engagement rings on the wedding day

Do you wear it & then the wedding band goes on top or? I'm probably not normal for worrying about this stuff

Do people transfer it to their right hand for the ceremony, and then put it back after?

I think you’re supposed to take it off, I wore mine on my other hand

I gave mine to my mother, she wore it until after the ceremony.

I think I switched mine to my right hand.

I have no idea why you're meant to remove it though! Just tradition I guess.

My dad looked after mine, put it back on after the ceremony.

I think I wore mine on my right hand… I always wear mine on my right hand now because my two rings are too chunky to wear on the same finger.

Ah thank you.

Great ideas. I'll either give it to my mum for the ceremony or wear it on the right. Although my right finger seems it's chunkier as it doesn't fit as well 😂

I wore mine because I wear it behind my wedding ring as its slightly too big (family heirloom, can't be resized).

I had meant to move it to my right hand but forgot. The registrar noticed and asked me if I wanted to move it in the middle of the ceremony right before the ring bit.

Wear on right hand

I gave mine to my bridesmaid to look after. Just felt right sliding the wedding band onto an empty finger, and my engagement ring didn’t fit my other hand.

But this is your wedding, do whatever feels right to you, no one else will even notice.

I wore it on my right hand during the ceremony and then put it back when we were signing the register 🙂

My dad looked after it for me as I had a sentimental ring on my right hand. It felt right having the left hand empty for the wedding band and then engagement ring went back on next to it after the ceremony

Do whatever you want. These so called ‘rules’ are nonsense.

I left mine in the room where I got ready and went and got it after the ceremony.

I wore it on my right finger

There are no rules. You don’t have to take it off and you don’t have to wear your band closest to your hand.

I prefer my band on top so I kept my engagement ring on.
Choose which way you prefer and wear it accordingly

It's from a superstition. It's supposed to be bad luck to take off your wedding band. You might need to get your engagement ring cleaned etc or taken off for an operation, so that's why it's below your wedding band.
