Am I wearing my rings wrong?

rcj2rcd

Odd question, but how do you/will you wear your rings? I wear my wedding ring first, then my e-ring. Lately I've noticed a lot of girls wearing their wedding ring on top of their e-ring. Am I missing out on a cool story/tradition?

I've always heard that it should be done your way.  But what do I know?  I only wear my wedding ring.

It is supposed to go wedding band and then e ring.

Some people now have two bands and were on then the e ring then the other.

I have always heard the wedding first because it is closer to your heart.

This but honestly, I think either way is fine.  I know some girls wear their e-ring first since it's looser and the wedding band helps keep it in place.

My ILs are super hands-off (they don't want to be THOSE people, in their words), so they'd never say anything.  But I DO worry about DH feeling bad, so I'll pull it out sometimes just for that reason.  Which makes ME feel bad, then, like I'm being a little manipulative, since I don't actually want to wear it.  I just don't want him to feel like I was secretly hating it all through our engagement, or something.  I have the habit of resting my face on the back of my hand, though, and that center rock (even though it's small) just digs into my face.  I'm much happier now that I'm just wearing the band.

This.  I've also heard to do it that way so that your e-ring protects your wedding band.

Ok- the curiosity got to me and I asked my coworker why she wears her e-ring then wedding ring...she said she wears her rings in the order she grabs them in the morning...lol here I am thinking I'm missing out on a trend or something.

<div>You and I are ring soul mates. :)  Totally with you on the guilt and the rock digging into my face.</div>

I am not married yet but had always heard that you put the wedding band closest to your heart (so first) then the e-ring.  This is how I am going to do it.  I have a co-worker who wears it the other way and I asked her why.  She said she never thought about it.  That is how they were on the day they got married and she never changed them.  I have some friends from Europe who wear it e-ring then wedding band as well.  When asked they said that is how they do it over there.  I view it as personal preference.  Wear it how it works for you.

I think you should wear them however you want! I wear my wedding band beneath my engagement ring because I think it looks nice that way, but it's totally up to you.
