Rings / Jewellery: do you wear your engagement ring on the day?

I think wedding fever has taken over and now I am thinking of all random bits of things and I wondered what the done thing was in terms of wearing your engagement ring on your wedding day? do most brides take it off or keep it on? I wear quite a lot of rings, including a skull one from my FIL who sadly died a few years ago and I want to wear all mine so Will probably keep them all on.

When we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours
we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying
weirdness and call it love, true love.

personal choice amongst the brides on here from what i remember.

The morning of, I took it off whilst i had a shower so didnt get swollen or anything, and then moved it onto my right hand so was indent free, calm and cool ready for the big placement! and tbh left it there all day, until i went to bed!! Then when my hubby & i were looking through our photo guest book i did the big thing & moved it onto my left finger to sit proudly above my wedding band!

I kept mine on, but then I'm unusual in that I wear my wedding ring over the top of my e-ring rather than the other way round. It looks better that way.
I think nowadays, it's personal choice, so long as it doesn't interfere with the putting on of the wedding ring during the ceremony.

Vegas baby!

Some places won't allow it, but if that is the case then you can switch it over to your right hand for the ceremony.

My wedding ring is shaped to fit around the engagement ring, and looks odd on its own, so I asked hubby to out my ring on back to front so the band looked plain, then I twisted it around when I added my engagement ring after the ceremony.

If only life could be one long tea break

- CommentAuthorDecember
Wow, OWB that is amazing forward planning! I'd heard it was tradition for a BM to wear it to keep it safe. Not sure about that though, although I know one BM has the exact same ring size as me. I've just swapped my engagement ring to my right hand and it feels so strange!!
- CommentAuthorLulu1388
It did feel weird when I did it before. but on the day i sort of felt weird at first then got used to it and completely forgot it was in fact my e ring on that hand hence why didnt put it back on until the evening!! x

- CommentAuthor*The NewMrsMalin*
Brides tend to put it on their right hand so the all important finger is free :P You can then put your engagement ring back on the left hand on top of the wedding band but like LK said it is personal preference as some people prefer to have the E-ring on first then the wedding ring on top of it. It is up to you :)

I'm taking mine off til I have my wedding band on and I'm gonna put it on my finger on the other hand then put it on over the top of my wedding band once the ceremony is over because I want any pics of the rings to incorporate both my rings as they are both important x

I agree with Kel - I placed mine on my right hand then after the ceremony popped my engagement ring back on over the top so both rings were in all our pics xx but its personal preference tbh x i prefer mine that way round x

I'm going to be keeping mine on I think xx

it's been a long hard road, but hopefully we're getting
somewhere :) xx
- CommentAuthormym72
I put mine on my right hand til after the ceremony, then put it on over the wedding ring. I prefer it that way because for some things I still take off my engagement ring, but the wedding stays on for everything!!
- CommentAuthorMrsK2b
Im putting my on my right hand and then afterwards im going to move it back to sit above my Wedding Ring xx

Cant wait until I become Mrs K

I put mine on my right hand. I kept it on my right hand for the photos so they were just of our wedding bands. It's personal preference I think

- CommentAuthorbarbie86
I'm having two bands, a diamond shaped one to go with my engagement ring, and a plain straight one. I'm unsure yet whether to tie the straight one to my bouquet, wear my engagement ring on my right hand, and have OH give me the shaped one, then putting my engagement ring straight on over it (it will look WEIRD on it's own), or, because I'd like photos of our hands with the rings (OH's will match my plain straight one), to have OH give me the plain one, and leave my engagement ring and the shaped band in the safe, and to wear that until the evening, and then in the evening, put my 'blingy' set on.

So, I'm undecided at the moment!
- CommentAuthorMrsWright290912
I didnt wear mine on the day. I wanted it to be just my wedding ring on my photos. There is no do/donts here so just do what you dwecide. I know some dont wear during the ceremony but put straight back on. I didnt wear mine at all.

I really did marry my Mr Wright and we had a nice day for a
Wright wedding!

- CommentAuthornatalie2614
I had my engagement ring on like normal the morning of our wedding and it was only when we got to the ceremony room before the interview that i gave it to my mum and said look after that lol. She gave me it back straight after the ceremony and it went above my wedding band and i remember playing with them before we walked out to our confetti shot saying two rings felt weird! xx

- CommentAuthorNoodles
I think I'd like to keep mine on - but why would somewhere not allow you to wear the ring before hand? Is it a religious thing?
- CommentAuthorAvrilR92
at my mums wedding I wore her engagement ring for the day and evening then she had it back when they left the party.
I am planning to do mine similar im going to let either or moh or eldest step daughter to wear mine for the ceremony but then im having it back on my finger before our photos. xxx
- CommentAuthormicky
I wore mine on my right hand on the day and after foto s I moved it across :-)
- CommentAuthorVelcro
I will either not wear it, or il wear it on my right hand,I don't like how they look together so I doubt il wear them together once we are married it'll likely stay on my right hand permanently.

- CommentAuthorSaraD48
wow i would not have even thought about that so im glad i seen this thread. my ering is abit bent now as they messed it up when resizing it but kept the ring and got refund as it isnt that bad but i am getting a new one to match my chosen wedding ring. x
- CommentAuthorSaraD48
also feel free to add me :)
- CommentAuthorMrsRusty2B
I feel that I can't move my engagement ring to my right hand until my wedding band goes on as I already wear my grandmother's wedding ring on my right hand ring finger. Not sure what I'm going to do now that I think about it.
- CommentAuthorMrsH-2B
I'm putting it on my right hand and will swap it over as we go over to sign the register.. I want both rings in my pics as they will both mean the world to me :-) xxx

- CommentAuthorMundith
i had never even thought about this.....im still undecided cos it will be like loosing a part of my finger even if it is only for a day :(

i guess it depends on what wedding rings we settle on as to whether i put it back on the same finger :)

Tradition is not for us ;)

- CommentAuthorx~Hails~x
We are doing the "engagement ring vow" during the service so before hand it will be on a clay plate along with the wedding rings and then it will go back on my finger after the main vows!

- CommentAuthorMrsLowe
The morning of the wedding i thought "must take engagement ring off" i forgot and i kept it on my ring finger and only realised when i was at the alter about to but my wedding ring on! cue me having to quickly whip it off and give it my dad who was standing by the side of me and getting it off him at the reception oops!

but as i look at it i sort of see it as symbolic, i took my 'single' ring off and gave it to my dad and then got my wedding ring off my husband... well thats how i'm going to explain my mess up anyway :)

I like your explanation x
