Engagement ring during wedding?

  I kept mine on my left hand ring finger and then switched the positions after the ceremony. Mine didn't fit on any other finger without being loose enough to fall off and I didn't want to be without it either.

  
  

  I don't think it will have any implications on the marriage to wear it. It's along the way of the tradition of not seeing the groom before wedding. It comes down to personal choice :-)

  
  

  GL!

  I just didn't think of it until right now that I would be doing something different! I want to wear the two together after the wedding, so I will maybe talk to my fiance and see what he thinks we should do.... It's all so confusing! Haha... All of this little stuff adds up!

  Wear the engagement ring on your right hand.  After you have the wedding band, you can put your engagement ring on next to the wedding band.

  I forgot about this...I forgot to switch my Ering to my right hand for the ceremony, so I did it while the cantor was talking. Then after we exchanged rings, I switched it back. NBD :-)

  I left my e-ring on my left hand. We swapped them around after the ceremony. Our photog got some really sweet photos of us switching them around.

  My priest requried me to wear my engagement ring on my right hand during the ceremony. Otherwise, I wouldn't have cared.

  Put in on your right hand before the ceremony, then switch to your left hand after.

  It comes down to personal preference. My partner can only wear his engagement band on his left ring finger, so he probably won't wear it at all on our wedding day. My ring fingers are both the same size (actually, my engagement ring is a better fit on my right hand anyway), so I'll likely wear it on my right hand.

  this makes me sound clueless, but, there's an "order" on how the e-ring and the w-band go on your left finger after the wedding?

  The wedding band traditionally goes inside as it's closer to your heart. The engagement ring is then worn over the top of it.

  My H kept my E-ring in his pocket during the ceremony.  I put it on afterward.  I think it's personal preference.

  I think it's preference. I had never heard of the right hand thing and intended to wear my e ring. Then my moh threw a fit about that and made me hand over my ring, so the BM carried my e ring too and h put the e ring on after my band during the ceremony.
  I don't think it's a big deal but I did like having the wedding band put in its place closest to my heart for the ceremony.

  You could always make it a silent part of the ceremony. At the officiant's/pastor/etc's prompting, your FI takes off you e-ring, replaces it with wedding band, the places e-ring after band. That's what we're doing.

  You don't have to make a production of it, but make sure your FI knows about it.

  Whatever you prefer.  I'm wearing a right-hand ring as my something old and keeping my e-ring on my left hand.  FI will just put the band on top of it, and then after the ceremony we'll just flip them.

  Me too.

  I'm actually having my e ring and wedding band soldered together because I have halo style ring, which means my wedding band is slightly curved.  They sit nicely together, but I'm worried they will slide around and twist if I don't put them together.  I'm going to give my ring(s) and FI's to the best man who will give it to FI during the ceremony at the appropriate part.  

  
  

  Just another thought for you.

  My e ring and wedding band are being soldered together before the wedding day. So I will be going ring-less until he puts it on my finger during the ceremony! ... not ideal, but it is what it is.
