I took mine off just before the ceremony. I then put my engagement ring back on after we got married x

I was told to take mine off for the ceremony so I wore it on my right hand then after the ceremony I put it back on my left with my wedding ring. Whether you're having a church or registrar wedding, they'll be able to let you know the correct protocol that they would like you to follow.

I removed mine and left it in my hotel room. Some people choose to wear it on their right hand for the ceremony, which is fine, I decided not to because I was wearing my nan's ring on that finger as we were very close and she passed away when I was 14 so really wanted something of hers with me. But yes, definitely remove it from your left hand as traditionally, the wedding ring has to go on first anyway x

It's personal choice, I gave mine to my brother just before we left and he gave it back to me after the ceremony and I put it back on x

i was told by the vicar who married us to remove and either wear it on the other hand or put it somewhere safe :) i had it in my little handbag that my mum looked after with my phone in so when we got to the reception i could put it on :) x

I'm sure a similar question to this has already been posted today which pretty much answers this question.

I put mine on my right

I wore mine on right hand and had it straight on for signing register. Mine are not a set and because of shape of engagement ring, I had to get a shaped wedding ring, so it looks silly without engagement ring. To look at them they look like a set xx

I moved mine on to my other hand, then after the ceremony, moved it back :) x

I forgot about this till the last minute at the altar - I think I put my engagement ring on the registrar's table with my bouquet while we exchanged wedding rings, then quickly put my engagement ring back on. It was lovely wearing the rings together for the first time! x

Traditionally it is worn on the other hand then used to seal the wedding band after the ceremony

I wore mine on my right hand until the ceremony was done, slipped it back on over my wedding ring by the time we signed the register xx

u remove it for the ceremony and put it back on whenever you want to after...I wore mine on my right hand before the ceremony and it wasn't until well into the evening reception a guest asked if they could have a look at the ring so showed them n had a little panic when I realised my engagement ring wasn't there I put it back on my ring finger shortly after lol xx
