I have lost about 20 pounds since FI and I picked out my ring.  I just got it last month and it is pretty big.  I have been using a clear tube under my finger to keep it on.  That is even starting to get big. 

My ring has 3 bands.  The more bands I wear at a time the better they fit.  I want to wear one of the bands now until the wedding and use the 3rd the day of.

Well,  FI flipped and does not like that idea at all.  What would you do?  I cant have the E-ring sized until the wedding because they cant be all different sizes. 

Would you wear:
A) Just the e-ring and keep finding a bigger tube as I lose weight
B) Wear one of the wedding bands until the day of and tell FI he cant boss me around Cool

    I've lost about the same amount of weight - so I totally understand.  I've just been wearing it on another finger so I don't lose it.  Luckily, we order the wedding band in a smaller size.  So, now I'm going to use it to hold the e-ring in place.  It's not my preference to wear on another finger, but at least I'm not wearing ahead of time either so that the wedding ring feels more special when the time comes.

    I'm with your FI...it will not be as special if you get to wear any of the bands before the wedding.  And most people will not know that you have two bands...they will just think you're wearing THE wedding band.

    Yes, it has the e-ring in the middle and two bands that mirror the shape of the ring.  The jeweler was trying to sell it as one is a wedding band one is an anniversary band.  I'm not a fan of the look of it with one band but if it makes it fit better until then I'm game.

    I wish I could wear it on another finger.  My knuckles are so wide that it doesn't fit past any other finger.  My fingers look like mozzarella sticks <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-frown.gif" border="0" alt="Frown" title="Frown" />

    The jeweler I used to work with can size most rings in an hour and he's great.  PM me if you want his name.  He's right in downtown and is super easygoing.

    I would just go get it sized, it doesn't take too long.

    If you do wait to get it sized, only wear your e-ring.  I wouldn't wear one of the other bands.

    Agreed with PP, I woudln't wear one band now because people might think you are already married.  I woudln't want to do that.

    Do you think you will lose more weight?  If not, just get them all sized now.

    Why can't you have them all sized now and continue to wear just the engagement ring? Do you not have the wedding bands yet? 

    Even if this is the case and you don't have the wedding bands yet, who cares if they have to be sized at a later date?  At least the e-ring (ostensibly the most expensive of the three) will be securely on your finger in the meantime!

    I would just get them sized, I too have lost close to 20 pounds and will be needing my e-ring sized soon, it is to big.  I agree that you should not wear your wedding rings until you are married, they symbolize your marriage.
