Am I wearing my rings wrong?
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?

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

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

<div>This is what I do too. Does it drive your in-laws crazy? My MIL had a fit so now I have to remember to put it on every time I go to ther house. </div>

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.
