You can do this however you want. I decided to wear my engagement ring, as I was already wearing a topaz on my right hand and said e-ring doesn't fit on my right hand. It was just too fabulous to not wear, after all. He just slid my wedding ring on top and we fixed them when we had a second. I wasn't going to wear my e-ring, then before i went down the aisle, i said, "screw it" and figured it's been part of me, why wouldn't i suddenly wear it?
I am going to wear it up until the ceremony and then we are doing an engagement ring portion of the ceremony where he will put it in after my wedding ring!
We haven't decided what we are doing, but here's an idea for you. I read this on Weddingbee awhile back. This is what another bride is going to do.
The engagement ring is done after the wedding bands. The officiantsays "The engagement ring is a symbol of promise and intention. Nowthe intention is realized and the promise fulfilled. Please place yourengagement ring on "bride's name" finger over her wedding band tosymbolize that the love that brought you together will always protectand sustain your marriage."
Just an idea. Hope it helps.
I like the idea of keeping the engagement ring on my right hand for the ceremony and putting it on top of the wedding band afterward. I also like the thing that Charm bracelet found. I have never heard of that before.
I am planning on putting my e-ring on my right hand (that is if it fits on that hand properly). Once the ceremony is over I will add my e-ring to my ring finger behind the wedding ring.
From what I was told you want the wedding ring closest to your heart but I am not doing the above for that reason. Who knows, I may keep the e-ring on my finger since i have a nasty ring tan :)
I didn't vote- I'm getting my wedding bands soldered onto my e-ring pre-wedding and will have him just put that big clunker on my left hand.
I built my color scheme around my aquamarine e-ring, and it went so well with my dress and jewelry that I HAD to wear it!! So, I wore it on my right hand and he put my wedding band on as normal... I think? Now I can't even remember? I may have worn the e-ring on the left. So don't stress too much, you might not even remember what you did!
You can do whatever you want - any of those options work! I will be wearing my engagement ring on my right hand for the ceremony, and actually thereafter too. I'll be blinged out on both hands. 
I will wear my e-ring on my right hand during the ceremony. After the ceremony I will put it on my left hand over my wedding band.
I've always liked the idea of wearing my wedding band close to my heart!
The way that my wedding band it made I would technically wear it on top of or beneath my engagement ring, thankfully it works out that way and I will be wearing the band over my engagement ring for the ceremony --but after it will go below
I am taking my engagement ring off for the ceremony and will be putting it back on after the ceremony is over.
My wedding ring was a wrap so I had to have my e-ring in the middle of it... no ring for me unti lthey both got placed on my finger together..
Remember that if you're right handed then your ring sizes on your right hand are usually a half size bigger because of the muscles you use in that hand.
And so opposite if you're left handed, so just remember the ring may be too small or too big on the right hand.
My ring is a Claddagh and is worn one way when you're engaged, and another way when you're married so my ring will be worn during and be apart of the ceremony.
I wore my e ring on my right hand during the ceremony and switched it to go with my wedding ring just after. I normally wear a claddaugh on my right hand ring finger so I had my oldest sister-in-law (who gave me the claddagh) wear it during the ceremony. It was a last minute thing, but ended up being a moment that I'll cherish.
I'm going to wear my engagement ring on my right hand during the ceremony. Then I'll make the switch.
I'll be taking it off for the ceremony and putting it back on afterwards.
E-ring on my right hand during the ceremony, and then put it back on after the ceremony. :)
We just talked about this last night and decided he'll put the wedding ring on my left hand, where my engagement ring will already be, and I'll just switch them after the ceremony. I just definitely didn't want to not wear my e-ring at all, and it's a bit too tight on my right hand.
I'm in the same boat as marigold. My engagement ring doesn't fit on my right hand, so he'll put the wedding band on my finger after the engagement ring and I'll flip it after the ceremony.
I wore my e-ring on my right hand, on top of my grandmother's wedding band, then moved it after the ceremony. It would have been just as easy to flip the wedding band and e-ring, though.
@thecolorteale, I had no idea it was because of muscles! Mine in particular won't fit because I dropped a monstrous weight on that finger and crushed it to bitties so the bone sticks out weird in one spot. But that makes a lot of sense!
And, too cool about claddagh rings. I had no idea they face inward and outward for different purposes. I see them a lot and now I'll just have to notice! =]
my e ring does not fit on my right hand....so i was thinking about tieing it onto my bouquet and then putting it on right after the ceremony
My E-ring doesn't fit on my right hand, but I don't think I'd wear it there anyway. It lives on my left hand, that's where FI put it, that's where its going to stay. While I appreciate the sentiment of your wedding band being closest to your heart, I personally appreciate the sentiment of wearing my E-ring down the aisle on the finger its always been on more! I'll just switch them after the ceremony.
Bonus: FI will know what hand to put my ring on! I know this can be confusing for some guys.
I just wore my engagement ring on my right hand during the ceremony. After the ceremony, I just slipped it back on my hand. I didn't have a real problem with fit--my ring fits either hand.
My engagement ring doesn't fit on my right ring finger, so I took it off and had my little sister (and maid of honor) wear it for the ceremony, then put it on right after.
ejs yeah I had no idea until I got measured that they weren't the same size. And the lady explained why and I was just surprised I had never noticed lol
But as for the claddagh alot of people wear them just for heritage purposes but there is a certain way they're supposed to be worn to signify your status. Facing away from you on the right ring finger when you're single, facing you on the right ring finger when you're in a relationship, facing away from you on the left ring finger when you're engaged and facing you on the left when you're married. Still with me? lol!!
Thats another thing I didn't know until a man from Ireland told me. An old one my mom gave me didn't fit anymore so I had it on a necklace and he was like "That's confusing, the boys won't know if you're taken or not." haha!
My ring is an old one (his great-grandmother's) & has filigree design on the sides, so I don't think it's possible to wear a wedding band with it. I think I will just be taking it off and having him put it back on for the ceremony. Does anyone know the history of wedding bands? Have people always done the wedding band to match? I can't imagine how anyone would wear this ring with a band, so I'm just curious.
We need a choice for "Other" here. Neither of us has an engagement ring. Also, in Jewish tradition, the wedding ring is initially put on the right pointer finger, not the left ring finger. Thus, if I had an engagement ring, it would not be necessary to remove or move it. Instead, I'd just take the engagement ring off when I went to move the wedding ring to my left ring finger, and then put it immediately back on over the wedding ring.
For my ring we had to get the type of band that goes on both sides of the ring, so he will need to take my ring off, but it in between the two bands, and then slip it on my finger.
That said, no ring for me!
*shrugs* I'll probably just keep it on the same finger and switch them later. I'm not too fussed about it either way.
Other! So I decided I want to wear my wedding band on my right hand. =) I wonder if he can just slip it on my right hand - ring finger, ... now that I think of it ... is this allowed in a Catholic ceremony or does it have to go on the left hand?
I voted that I'm taking it off, but since we're using the same rings for both that's not entirely the case, ha.
I love the post from "charm bracelet" about the symbolizing of the wedding band and engagemant ring!!! im going to have my pastor use that line in my wedding! Good idea!!! Thanks!
Right hand until after the ceremony for me...but you can do whatever you like! :)

So... we're less than three weeks from the wedding and all the little details are flooding my mind. I'm a bit stumped on how to wear my rings on wedding day... Should I completely take off my engagement ring for the day? Should I let him put the wedding band on top of the engagement ring during the ceremony? Should I wear the engagement ring on my right hand?
What are you doing and why?
