The engagement ring and wedding ring are very important to me, I don't know which one to wear, but my friend said just wear the one looks better.

Why can't you wear both?

NoWittyNamesAvailable · 07/03/2022 09:28

I wear them both along with my eternity ring also.

Abouttoblow · 07/03/2022 09:29

Wear both. Most people do.

LadyDanburysHat · 07/03/2022 09:30

Most people definitely wear both, and you choose a wedding ring that will sit well with your engagement ring.

SheWoreYellow · 07/03/2022 09:30

Most people wear both. Is she jealous of your engagement ring?!
Or do you have two rings that don’t really go together - if so could you wear your engagement ring on your other hand?

SouthOfFrance · 07/03/2022 09:30

Eh? Would you not wear both?

Goldenbunny · 07/03/2022 09:30

I wear both my engagement ring and wedding ring 💍 they both sit nicely together my finger. My mother told me I'm meant to wear both together.

Lazypuppy · 07/03/2022 09:31

You wear both, wedding ring first then engagement ring on next. You friend's comment is odd

Lyricallie · 07/03/2022 09:31

Literally don't know a person who doesn't wear both, unless they're in a work environment where they are only allowed a plain wedding band (doctor/food prep).

Wilburisagirl · 07/03/2022 09:32

Adding to the chorus of "wear both together". I don't know anyone who doesn't do it that way.

rainbowzebra05 · 07/03/2022 09:33

I choose to only wear one as I found the two made them twizzle round and catch on my clothes. It's traditional to wear both though, but now seems to be more about personal preference

SheWoreYellow · 07/03/2022 16:11

Maybe we need to see a pic of them together @RonyBay Smile

Ah the wedding ring troll, how droll.

ClariceQuiff · 07/03/2022 16:15

My fingers are too thin for mine now (the joys of middle age) but I used to wear either depending on my mood or the occasion. I sometimes wear my engagement ring on my middle finger nowadays.

AlisonDonut · 07/03/2022 16:15

Not you again. What the fuck is your problem?

SheWoreYellow · 07/03/2022 16:17

Ah the wedding ring troll, how droll.
Oh no, how? Why? Argh.
Saisong · 07/03/2022 16:19

How: multiple threads on how to wear rings
Why: who the fuck knows?
Argh indeed

AlisonDonut · 07/03/2022 16:31

Who the fuck CARES????????

Yes, I keep my engagement ring and wear it with my wedding ring every day after getting married. They mean a lot to me. My love gave me the engagement ring. He chose a brand named Darry Ring that can only be customized once. He said he couldn't buy a ring for others because it only can be bought for true love. And he bought our wedding bands. I asked a craftsman to solder my two rings together to wear them together easier.

MoiraNotRuby · 09/03/2022 18:33

Dammit thought this would be about selling rings 'after marriage' - anyone with advice on how best to sell my engagement ring? Cost £1500 20+ years ago and would like to get maximum dosh!

What do you mean it can only be customised once? Do you mean sized or changed to your requirements? And why only once? Who customises their rings multiple times?

Sorry, what now??

Did he pay for it with true love???

dfendyr · 09/03/2022 21:42

DR Story
DR advocates "The One & Only" true love belief.
Since founded, a unique rule has been set: a man can have only one ring customized and sent to one person in his lifetime, meaning true love lasts forever.

What a load of marketing bullcrap

RosesAndHellebores · 09/03/2022 21:43

Hmm Well 32 years on I wear both with the eternity in-between.
