  I would just use one band for the ceremony, and add in the other one between the ceremony and reception personally. Less awkward. Or wear your engagement ring on your right hand, put both wedding bands on at the ceremony, then place your e-ring between them after the ceremony is over. 

  
  

  Even though I don't believe in "bad mojo" I still wouldn't wear the wedding band until you are actually married. I mean you wouldn't start referring to yourself as "Mrs Smith" until you were actually married, so why wear a wedding ring until it's official.

  I would probably not even bother with the second band until after you get home. Wear the e-ring only the day of the ceremony and use both bands together as one or just during the ceremony.

  I could be wrong about this tradition but I was under the impression that you shouldn't wear your engagement ring on your left hand during the ceremony. So I took it off shortly before ceremony & gave it to my MOH to hold onto, she just slipped it onto one of her fingers. Maybe you could give MOH your engagement ring plus second band & just use one band for ceremony & then after ceremony get other ring back & put on full set.
  
  It is a beautiful set and I can see why you would want to wear all 3 pieces for photos & for reception (when everyone will be going, can I see your rings).

  <div>I think the reasoning behind this is because traditionally with only one band, your groom places that wedding band on your finger when you are saying your vows. It's "closer to your heart" or something like that. Then your ering goes on the "outside".</div><div>
  </div><div>I plan on wearing my ering on my right hand for the ceremony, although I have no idea what my band looks like (and won't until it comes in which will be in about August or so) because FH got me a twisty ering (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zeghani.com/media/products/636x550-ADAPTIVE/ZR560.png" target="_blank">link</a>) so we have to custom order the band.</div>

  I had 2 bands as well. I got one at the ceremony. I actually left the other one home and put it on the next day.
