Ring placement? jerky bride.

scurtis07

oh my, I never even thought about the right hand thing. I will definitely remember that. Clearly no one even regards the best wishes thing, it was once a thing, I assure you unknown few, but it is ridiculous now a days, and she was going out of her way to snap at me for no reason...

So I guess since a priest told someone to have the ring on their right hand then it isn't "proper" to have the band over the e-ring. Thank you!

CMGr I was taught the same thing about the wedding ring.  And a while it may not be practical/reasonable to never take it off, that you absolutely would not take it off on the day it was placed on your finger.

I must be completely out of the loop, as I didn't know you had to choose your words of happiness for the couple so carefully. I would have said congratulations, and I'm pretty sure none of my friends would have known any differently!

She sounds terrilble.  I thought you swtiched it right after the ceremony, too. I'm in fact nervous that I'll forget to. It's no big deal, but still.

I think I will just let my FI put the band on top of my e-ring then switch it after the ceremony.  As far as the snoty bride congrats was in order. Congrats that anyone willingly married her.  Why so nasty???  All she had to say was thank you.  What is the big deal?  Your heart was in the right place and I never heard of that either.

HOW RUDE!!! If a bride said that to me, I'd want to say, "Oh, I'm sorry. Pardon my ignorance. Of COURSE I'll wish you the best, but I'll HAVE to say "Good luck" to your groom, as I'm SURE he'll need it, if things like this bother you this early on in your marriage..."

Had no idea about that tradition...but I plan on wearing my e-ring on my left hand during the ceremony, having him place the band over it, and then I will quickly switch them before the reception begins. I'll be wearing my late grandmother's ring on my right ring finger, and my e-ring won't fit on any other finger anyway.

Wow, had no clue about the best wishes/congrats thing. Guess I've been angering brides for years and never knew?

The only thing I've heard about ring placement is that the engagement ring always goes on top of the wedding band because reversed is the symbol for a widow. My mother always screams at bridal shows when they put the band over the engagement ring -"He is making her a widow before she's even married". It may be an old fashioned thought but I would definitely just move your engagement ring over from your right hand after the ceremony.
