Wedding Rings

SoonToBeGenao · June 2011

Hey girls! I just picked up my wedding ring yesterday (EEEK) and I love it!! I will definitely be posting a picture of it ASAP. It's too pretty not to share haha.

Anyway it got me thinking. I plan to wear my E-ring and wedding band "backwards" if you will. The traditional way to wear it is with the wedding band "closest to your heart" and the e-ring on the outside. To me, it looks weird with the big diamond on the outside. AND I never ever take off my e-ring, so to take it off, to put the other one on seems weird. Besides the fact that I got my e-ring first.

So for you ladies who are married-which way do you wear it? e-ring inside, or wedding band inside. And engaged ladies, how do you plan to wear your wedding band?

I plan on wearing it the "traditional" way with the wedding band on the inside(closest to my heart) and my engagement ring on the outside.

I wear mine with the wedding band closest to my heart. To get it that way I wore my E-ring on my right hand for the ceremony and immediately after I put it over my wedding band. It looks great that way since the bands on my rings are small (i like more delicate jewelry). Also, my wedding band is a tad large so the E-ring holds it on nicely until we get it resized.

My wedding band is "under" my e-ring. I wore my purity ring on my right ring finger (moved it there after we got engaged) and my e-ring on my left ring finger during the ceremony, then switched them after the recessional before people started coming through the receiving line.

Well so far it seems it is just a weird quirk of mine hahaha. I don't think it really matters, so long as they are both on.

My wedding band wraps around both sides of the engagement ring like a puzzle, so it doesn't really matter which way I wear it, although I DO always wear it the same way.

I guess technically if I look at the bands underneath my finger, the way I wear it has the "wedding" band closer to me.

To answer your original question, though, if my wedding band only fit on one side, I'd probably wear it on the inside of the e-ring.

I plan on wearing my wedding band the traditional way! BUT, I might get two wedding bands- like a sandwich for my e-ring. More bling!

I wear mine the traditional way with my wedding band underneath my engagement ring. During the ceremony, I wore my engagement on my left hand until it was time to do the rings, then I switched it to my right hand for those few moments as we did the rings and once we were finished I moved my e-ring back over to rest on top of my new wedding band.

I'm no help. I don't plan on wearing my e-ring after we're married, just a wedding band.

Special2011 · June 2011

I can't even stand trying on wedding bands without putting it on "right" (or traditional..)! Just looks wrong to me.

For the ceremony, I'll probably leave it on my left hand and switch it the second we're out the door.

You aren't going to wear your e-ring at all?

drama1308 · June 2011

I planned on wearing my rings the traditional way, but I may change my mind.

amongthelilies25 · June 2011

ya... i plan on wearing mine the traditional way too. (: i think for the ceremony i will have my MOH hold my e-ring and then i will put it on after the recessional. i will be wearing my gma's anniversary ring on my right hand.

iamjoesgurl · June 2011

I wear mine the "traditional" way. For the wedding, I wore my e-ring and during the ring ceremony, I just took it off and held it in my hand until the wedding band was on my hand. I guess that's kind of weird now that I think about it.

BronwynH · June 2011

I plan on the traditional way. It looks best with my rings. I hadn't thought about what I was going to do in the ceremony though.

Probably not. If I do wear it, it'll be on the other hand.

kalizoomba · June 2011

I didn't know there was a "traditional" way. I don't have a big diamond or anything on my e-ring, but if I did, I'd definately wear it on the INSIDE so there was less of a chance it would fall off!!

AshNoel8 · June 2011

I plan on wearing mine the traditional way too. I have been thinking about what I'm going to do during the ceremony. I am thinking about having my MOH wear it until after the recessional... do you think that's bad luck? I can't wear it on my right hand during the ceremony because it doesn't fit on it- my ring finger on my right hand is bigger than the one on my left haha! Do you think it's better to have MOH wear it during the ceremony or have FI put the wedding band on top on the e-ring and then switch it after the ceremony?

SoonToBeGenao · June 2011

Ashley- Just because I'm crazy and paranoid about my e-ring, if I were you I'd keep it on, then just switch it right after!

agape1cor813 · June 2011

I've been wearing mine the "traditional" way. For the time being I am wearing my e-ring and wedding band together, but I'm not having them soldered today so that I can have a little flexibility as far as what I want to wear (both rings together or just the wedding band). It is an odd sensation to have another ring on my hand, because my wedding band is a bit thicker than my engagement ring, but I'm sure I will get used to it in no time.

AshNoel8 · June 2011

Thanks Genao!! Good advice.

Bett2012 · June 2011

I plan on wearing them the traditional way, though my engagement ring is delicate and simple, so I don't think it will look weird. I have worn my purity ring on my right hand ring finger since my 16th birthday - but I plan on putting my e-ring on my right hand during the ceremony. I still want to have my purity ring on me somewhere because I will still be pure then - is wearing it on an anklet chain or something like that weird? like, not noticeable, but still there? Any other suggestions?

Also, my parents had me just over a year after they were married, and I think my mom stopped wearing her e-ring then... I've never seen her wear it!

DramaGeek · June 2011

I have two wedding bands, one on either side. In the words of FaithCaitlin, it's a bling sandwich ;-) Mine are soldered together because they only fit together one way and without the soldering they came apart and looked funny., Because of the shape of the bands I could never wear them without the e-ring, though there are times I wish I could go back to the simplicity of my e-ring without the bands.
