Do I

[Nik54545]

Do I wear my E-ring on my wedding day or is my hand supposed to be ringless when I go to the ceremony??? Thoughts???

[Doglover]

you are supposed to wear the ering on the other hand and then when the ceremony is over put it back on with your wedding band!!!

[Goin2thechapel]

I wore mine on my right hand...After we exchanged wedding bands, I switched it back to the left hand

[bichonlvr]

I will wear mine on my right hand...or my MOH will wear it and give it back!!!

[gennymac]

I'm planning on wearing mine on my right hand, lessen the chance of it getting misplaced and ensuing drama of the hunt.

I am also afraid to take the blasted thing off for any reason for fear of laying it down somewhere and getting busy and forgetting it.

Lost a really fantastic opal that way years ago and still haven't replaced that yet.

I didn't even think about that...good question!

I just checked - my e ring doesn't even come close to fitting on my right hand. Weird.

Maybe I'll let FH carry it in his pocket. :notsure:

[BrandyGibbons]

I wore my e-ring on my left hand and took it off just when FH put the wedding band on.

i will have fh carry it or put it together with the wedding band. can he put both of them on me at the same time?

I apparently cannot operate the quote function. :p Please disregard.

ME TOO. I only ever take my engagement ring off in the shower, because it doesn't quite fit right at the moment and I'm afraid of losing it. Then, it lives in my jewlery box next to FH's ring.

[miranda]

I haven't decided how I want to do this yet. I love my e-ring and want it in all the pictures, even the ones of him putting the band on my finger. Bah.

[Panthers Bride]

we're using a jewelry box rather than a pillow, so i'll have FH put both of them on. Haven't figured out the logistics yet, but it's gonna happen.

That is pretty much the way I see it most often done. But keep it on the left hand for pictures ;) Then switch it before the ceremony :)

I just checked and mine doesnt either:purplex:

[bichonlvr]

Ha Ha mine does...I HAD to check today when I slammed my wedding ring finger in the door, my first thought...take the Ering off! So I put it on my right hand... :whoa:

Yay - mine fits - just realized I better back up my mouth with testing that out !

Most customs say you wear it on your left hand, and then when the rings are exchanged you leave it wear it is. The F/H slides the wedding band on, up to the engagement ring.
I did this with my wife, my mom did this, and the last two brides I married did this.
For the engagement ring was the first ring you got from your F/H, it was his comitment to marry you, so should not be removed, as goes the wedding ring.
So on the wedding day leave it on your left ring finger, and have him place the wedding ring on.

[keri_rae]

Haha - I am one of those people where my ering is almost loose on my left hand (I mean it stays on, but the diamond easily moves to under my finger while I'm typing, etc) but wont fit on my right hand because my knuckle is too big!

I decided I'm just going to keep my ering on my left hand and let FH put my wedding band on while I keep the ering on. I don't like the feel of having the wedding band on first anyway.

Mom always did say I wasn't happy being "normal." Haha I'd rather be difficult :innocent:

[flyerso6]

I havent thought much about it, but I read somewhere that you leave the ering on your left hand and he puts the wedding band on next to it. Later after the ceremony you can switch the order. I think that is what I plan on doing. Since we are having our wedding on a cruise ship I dont want to take the chance of losing my ering. It dosent fit on my right hand. Weird its lose on my left hand, it dosent fall off but dose slide around a bit, but wont even fit on my right hand.

[BingBot]

I'm not sure what I'll do, because my wedding band and e-ring interlock. So if my FH just put the wedding band on top of my e-ring, it would look really strange!

[frenchie]

Maybe he could lock them together and slide both on at once (which implies you'd have to take it off first)

[Custom Wedding Stamps]

You are supposed to wear your ER on your right hand and then after the ceremony you put it on in front of your wedding band. My ER ring and Wedding band go as a set its a insert so I didnt have it with me the ER was already inside the wedding band .

You could always interlock them before hand maybe with a little 2sided tape to keep them together, that no one will be able to see the tape and you don't have to worry about them separating before they are on your finger. After the ceremony peel off the tape and no one will ever know

[erika85]

I found this on Wikipedia:

One interpretation states that the woman wears the wedding ring below the engagement ring, thus making it closer to the heart. Another practice holds that the woman should wear the wedding ring above the engagement ring, thus sealing the atmosphere of the engagement into the marriage. Still others prefer that the wedding ring should be worn alone. Further, modern ring sets in the United States are often marketed as a three-piece set, including the man's wedding band, the woman's engagement ring, and a slender band that is mounted to the engagement ring before the wedding, converting it into a single, permanent wedding ring.



So Everyone does it differently!!!

During and after I will be moving m e ring to my right hand and wedding band alone on left hand. They are both special and each deserves its own place:heart:- plus it make my finger look REALLY fat with them both on there:geek:

[StarCoveter]

Hmm...I hadn't even thought about this! I don't have my wedding ring yet, but it seems like if I push my ering up higher (like to leave room for a wedding band) it would be uncomfy, because of the diamond, just that it's a "bigger" ring, if you know what I mean. I know that it'll probably be thinner than the wedding band, but the diamond adds to it, and I think it'll look better on the bottom... and I don't really care about tradition, so I'll probably just keep it on my left hand.

Unless the ER fits inside the wedding ring, the way its done is you wear the ER on the right hand and after the ceremony then you slide the ER back on the left hand to be joined again with the wedding band.

What if ER doesn't fit on the right hand?

[WebLady]

What if ER doesn't fit on the right hand?You could leave it on and put the wedding band over the top in the ceremony and just move it later.

It really doesn't matter how you do it ;)

I hav seen some brides leave it on the left hand, some put it on the right and some take it off altogether. For pictures I would leave it on the left hand though.

After the wedding though, the e-ring is typically worn under the wedding band; meaning the e-ring goes on first, then the wedding band.

[Nik54545]

I had my sister wear my e-ring until after the ceremony and I put it on at the reception. :)

[shelli]

You wear your e-ring on your right hand and slip it on he left after he puts on the wedding band.
