Hmm... I hadn't really thought about pictures!
For the ceremony, I'd planned on switching the e-ring to my right hand and putting it on top of the band afterwards.
I am wearing my engagement ring during the ceremony because it is just a little too small for my right hand. After the ceremony, I'll just switch them really quickly and no one will know that the wedding band wasn't on the inside the whole time.
I wore mine on my right hand during the ceremony and switched it over secretly when we were signing our license.
I'm gonna let my MOH put it on her finger until the ceremony is over then I'll put it on my finger.
great tips ladies! i think right before i walk down the aisle i might ask one of my BM to wear it i dont have a MOH (tear) and then ask her for it while i give her my flowers or something idk i wanted it to show as i walked down the aisle but i will probably be the only one paying attention that close to the pictures LOL
I asked my officiant to include my e-ring in the ceremony (I got the idea from another bee). So, when it comes time for the ring exchange, I'll secretly hand her my e-ring, then FH will put the band on, then there will be a little extra part to the ceremony where he puts my e-ring back on my finger.
@Goldilocks1107 - Yeah, we're doing it as part of our ceremony as well. My e-ring will be with the wedding bands (on the ring bearer's pillow), and there will be a little part after the ring exchange where FI will place my e-ring on my finger, over my band.
Im gonna wear it on my right hand then quickly switch it over to my left!!
I never really thought about this until recently. My ring doesn't fit on my right hand :( So I think that I am going to have my sister (MOH) wear it until after the ceremony. Then I will put it on over my e ring. Or I am going to have my sister hand it off to the best man so that he will give my FI my wedding band and my ering.
@ MS.caniche my e-ring doesnt fit on my right hand either that is why i was like what else could i do. MY FI doesnt like the idea of switching the ring because he wants the wedding ring to be close to my heart blah blah blah....this one is a toughy
I'm planning on putting it on my right hand right before the ceremony starts, then FH will put the WB on, and I'll switch it back to the left hand after the ceremony.
Im planning on wearing it on my right hand then switching it to my left right after the ceremony!
I'm going to wear mine as normal, then switch the order right after the ceremony, no one will ever know the difference. By the way, my e-ring is too big for my right hand too.
Two things:
1. I wore my E-ring on my left hand ring finger and just had DH place my wedding band over it during the ceremony. Right after the ceremony was over, I just switched them. I had planned to wear my E-ring on my right hand, but then DH surprised me with my "Something Blue" ring that I wore on my right hand.
2. Just something to think about if you are having wedding pics done before the ceremony... I had a friend who had nearly all her pics done before the wedding ceremony (as did I). In almost 90% of her pictures, neither of them have their wedding bands on and it REALLY bothers her that she forgot to put on the rings for the pictures. It was a really good piece of advice because, although it feels weird in the moment, you will want to look back on those pictures as your wedding day pictures and hopefully will be wearing your rings no matter what time in the day they were taken. :)
Wait, this one confused me...Why all the secret switching? I was just going to keep my E-Ring on my left hand like I've been wearing the last 9 months, and have him put the wedding band on top of it during the ceremony. What am I missing?
I am going to wear my ring on my left ring finger and after the ceremony switch them around, so that the wedding ring is to the inside.
#meliss: Traditionally, the wedding ring is worn on the inside, so that it is closest to your heart.
@meliss - Your wedding ring is supposed to be worn closest to you heart, or under your engagement ring. When you get married and you have it on the wedding ring would get placed on top then they'd have to be switched. I like the idea of having him put in on in its rightful place when we get married. Superstitious I guess :)
I'll be wearing mine on my right!
i had my ering sized for my right hand, and that is how i wear them i like to spread out the bling! plus they dont fit together.
Ah, thank you for the education. God, so many things I apparantly haven't even thought of and only one month to go! 
I am going to wear my e-ring as normal, then swap the order of them after the ceremony.
I was with meliss for a moment there. I was going to be all practical and put it on top of my e-ring so it has an extra 'blocker' to stop it from ever coming off!! Thinking on it now, my mum does wear her wedding band underneath...argh, all this etiquette I didn't know about!!
My band and e-ring go together, the band has a part that goes underneath the main stone of the e-ring with other stones that flower the big one...i will probably not wear it and have him put them both on at the same time
@meliss and gingerlex - I know the "rule" but I want to wear my band on the outside too. I think it looks better for some reason. And like you gingerlex, mine's still a little bit big after being sized, so I was considering having my band be a 1/2 size smaller.
Anyone think it's totally wrong not to have the band on the inside?
I am with you @meliss- I didn't even know that "rule."
I am just going to wear my e-ring and then he can slip my wedding band on next to it. I like it "protecting" my e-ring.
I am wearing my engagement ring on my right hand and then incorporating the switching into the ceremony instead of trying to switch it without anyone noticing. After we do the vows, we are adding the following that the officiant will recite.
"The engagement ring is a symbol of promise and intention. Now the intention is realized and the promise fulfilled. Please place your engagement ring on <insert brides name> finger over her wedding band to symbolize that the love that brought you together will always protect and sustain your marriage."

So FI and I have watched a million wedding shows and we recently started paying attention to the Bride and her e-ring.
What will you do with your e-ring?
wear on and then switch the wedding band later or wear it on the other hand?
FI wants me not to wear it so he can put them both on during the ceremony but for my pictures i want to wear my e-rings.
