I'm not sure whether to put my engagement ring back on after the ceremony or just to wear my wedding ring all day?

One of my friends looked after my engagement ring through the ceremony as i had a ring on my other hand from my Grandma and then i put it back on after the ceremony x

I'm going to wear both but mainly because my wedding band is made to fit my engagement ring so it would look funny without it :) it's all down to personal preference! x

I'll be putting mine straight back on! I want my engagement ring on my finger as well as my wedding one when we have the "ring photo" taken xxx

My wedding ring is made to fit round my engagement ring, so mine will be going straight back on x

I left mine off until the next day but only because I was scared of losing it so left it in my hotel room xx

Are you supposed to take the engagement ring off for the ceremony? I was going to wear mine?

I just had my wedding band on all day then the next day put on my engagement ring.

I put mine back on after the ceremony as it's designed to fit together. I wore the engagement ring on my ring hand during the ceremony and as soon as my wedding band was on, I moved over the engagement ring. Congrats and good luck xx

I think it's traditional to take your engagement ring off during the ceremony and put it back on after. That's what I will be doing.

I wore both of mine after the ceremony. It made a beautiful picture when the photographer took a photograph of my ring finger with my husband's finger intertwined.

I forgot about mine till the ring part and swapped it to the other hand quick, I no longer wear my engagement ring as it is such a large stone and i used to have to take it off for work anyway as I am a care worker so it is now locked away safely and comes out on special occasions!

Wear your engagement ring on your right hand, then change to your wedding finger to wear with your wedding ring after the ceremony.

I've always been under the impression that its traditional to wear your engagement ring on the opposite hand (same finger) until after the ceremony and then you swap it back?

The vicar said I could put mine on my right hand until after the ceremony, which I did, but he also reminded me on arrival anyway, then I put on after the ceremony.

As far as I could tell, if you want to keep wearing your engagement ring you can, and tradition says you wear it on the other hand during the ceremony, then put it back on the normal finger after the ceremony (between your wedding ring and your fingertip) afterwards

I thought you were supposed to take it off for the ceremony then put it back on above your wedding ring for the photos. I've never known any different. That's what I'll be doing. My mum will look after my engagement ring during the ceremony. I definitely want both on for the photos.

I put my engagement ring on my right hand the morning of the wedding. I woke up the day after the wedding and realised it was still there - there was so much excitement etc after the ceremony it was the last thing on my mind to move it back to the left hand. On reflection I t was quite nice for people to see my wedding ring on it's own
