I think of those things too! We're doing a ring warming so I'm going to have my engagement ring tied onto the dish with our wedding bands. I also want to incorporate it into the ceremony, and if I recall correctly, TinyLucy had a great idea here:
Groom, the engagement ring that you gave Bride is a symbol of promise and intention. Now that the intention is realized and the promise fulfilled, please place your engagement ring on Bride's finger over her wedding band to symbolize that the love that brought you together will always protect and sustain your marriage.
I loved this when I saw it!
I'm pretty sure I wore my engagement ring on my right hand during the ceremony and then switched it over before the reception. That could be an option for you if your ring will fit on your right hand. You could also tie it onto your bouquet and then put it back on after the ceremony.
OMG, that is a wonderful thing to incorporate into the ceremony! I've never heard that before, but I love it!!!
We are doing a Catholic ceremony, and our priest told us that I should not be wearing my engagement ring on my left hand, as the wedding band should be closest to my heart when Mr CA puts it on. So, I will be wearing it on my right hand during the ceremony, and will move it over (above the band) after!
I wore mine during the ceremony. But I had to take it off and give it to DH during the exchange of rings so he could put it in my wedding ring, which is a wrap/guard...
I wore mine on my right hand during the ceremony, then switched it over afterwards.
I'm not sure. I will be wearing wedding band only. They don't fit together.
So I may opt to wear my engagement ring on my right hand.
I wore mine on my right hand, and moved it over after the ceremony ended.
I'm wearing my grandmother's wedding set on my right hand, so my e-ring will be on my left hand and he'll slip the wedding band on top. I'll switch them after the ceremony. Might not be the recommended way, but it'll work.
Like a few of the others here I'll be wearing mine on my right hand - and I'll actually leave it there as I plan on wearing my wedding ring solo.
Ditto to most posts - planning to wear it on my right hand and move it later.
My fingers tend to swell as well and my e-ring actually doesn't fit onto my right hand. I'm wearing my mom's wedding band on my right ring finger instead and I'll put the e-ring on after the ceremony.
@candy apple: I wore mine on the left hand during vows in my Catholic ceremony. I flipped them before the receiving line started. I asked the priest the night before and he didn't have a solid answer for me. I think that my SIL wore hers on the right during the wedding and then aligned them correctly afterwards.
I wore mine, DH put the wedding ring on top. Before the reception I moved the wedding band under the engagement ring.
I don't feel comfortable any more not wearing my e-ring. It means so much to me, and I feel like it just belongs on my left hand. I'd feel so weird the entire time if it wasn't on, so I'll leave it on my left and switch it around after the ceremony.
I wore my e-ring on my right hand. It has a sapphire center stone so it was my something blue!
I'm still deciding how I want to carry my e-ring for the ceremony. It won't fit on my right hand or I would do that. I'm not trusting enough to tie it with our wedding bands for the ring passing section of the ceremony, if something should happen our wedding bands are easily replaceable... my e-ring is custom made so not so much! I'll probably have my dad hold onto it and I'll put it on after the ceremony!
@carrieknitscake: Yeah, I think it may vary? Not sure :) I want to make sure that the wedding band is on the bottom, though, and don't want to distract from the band during the ceremony, so I'm keeping it on the right!
OP, I think it is your preference, particularly if your officiant doesn't have an opinion one way or another.
@sparkedlove11: Could you secure it to your bouquet, so you have it on you during the ceremony?
I'll be wearing mine.. I might put the wedding band on the inside of the ering after the ceremony but before the recpetion but then again I might not remember lol.
@candy apple: Honestly, I'm surprised I remembered because I was so full of emotion during the ceremony. I nearly screwed up my vows to my husband because the priest said a bunch of lines all at once. I gave him a deer in headlights look after that. I think that I mumbled something to the effect of less words to get through the vows. We have a pic of me flipping the rings, talking to the priest, and having my veil adjusted. I sat on my veil during the ceremony. I laugh about these things now and even during the ceremony.
i wore mine! its the perfect accessory for a wedding dress! i had him just slip it on my finger after vows and i switched it on the way to the reception :)
i thought about wearing it on my right, but it doesnt fit! haha
I will be wearing mine during the ceremony and after the ceremony I will just switch the wedding band and the engagement ring around. No Biggie!!!
I was going to wear it on my right hand and switch it over like most people. However, my friend has offered to let me wear her beautiful ring with a blue aquamarine stone as my something borrowed and blue. Therefore, i'll probably end up putting my ring in a little pouch and having someone carry it or put it in the pocket of my dress. And that is why my dress has pockets. :)
I wore mine! And after ceremony just switched it around. No one noticed it and I'm so glad I went that route. I wouldn't feel comfortable not wearing my engagement ring, even if it were just for a little while.
We are getting married in a catholic church. I asked our priest about this and he told me that I should wear my e-ring on my left as usual and switch them around after the ceremony is over. I like this better. It would feel so weird on my right hand and plus it doesn't fit on my right ring finger!
I'm having my rings soldered together before we're married so he'll be putting both of them on at the ceremony.
I wore my e-ring on my right hand, but didn't tell my husband that I was switching it. When he went to put on my wedding band he kept reaching for my right hand because "it goes where the other one is". We have some cute photos of me trying to get him to put it on my left hand. And he always teases me about not knowing my left from my right. :-)
Hmm...I was wondering about this myself. I think I'm going to wear it on my left hand and just have him put the wedding band on top. I know it's supposed to go the other way 'round but I plan on wearing the rings that way since my e-ring is heavier than the wedding band and it's the order I received them in. yeah, I'm a little weird like that.
I'm not.the wedding band should stand alone in my opinion if not for just an hour or so.
I can't fit mine on my right hand, so I'll probably give it to MOH (or my mom) to hold during the ceremony, then do what PP said and have my fiance put it back on over my wedding band. We're also having a ring warming and I'm super pumped!
I love the little saying incorporating it into the ceremony. May have to do that.
Otherwise, I'll just attach it to my bouquet, or if I forget (and I'm likely too, this puppy has been on my left ring finger for 2+ years!) then I'll just switch them around after the ceremony. I won't be wearing it on my right hand; I do it occasionally to "practice" and it just feels so WEIRD.)

I know this is kind of silly but I'm curious to see if others are opting to wear their engagement ring or not to their wedding ceremony. I am thinking about not wearing it (mostly because its July and I'm afraid it'll be humid and my fingers will swell and then not fit my wedding band with my engagement ring on. Seriously, this is the stupid things that come to mind as we get close to the wedding)
