    Ok so I'm a little bit confused. Where in the heck are you supposed to wear your E-Ring during the ceremony? I've mostly heard wear it on your right hand ring finger, but me being dominantly right handed my finger is too big for the ring. Here's what else I've heard:

    1. Have the MOH wear it on her right hand and retrieve after ceremony.

    2. Wear it on a chain as a necklace.

    3. Solder them together pre wedding and they are put on as one at the ceremony.

    4. Have the minister have me remove the E-Ring during the exchange hand to MOH to hold have F put on band then take E-Ring from MOH and replace to "seal the promises that the wedding band represents."

    5. Just not wear it at all.

    I feel naked without my ring and I want it for pictures. I thought about letting my dad hold on to it and giving it to him before walking down the aisle and then have him put it on afterwards. I need input! Help me fellow Bee's! :)

    p.s. oh and the E-Ring was my F's grandmothers so I feel like it should be a part somewhere you know?

    I'm going to wear it on my right hand. If I couldn't do that, I'd probably pin it inside my dress or something like that. After the ceremony, I'll put it back on my left hand.

    Some of your options give way too many chances to drop it, which makes me nervous.

    option 6?  Wear it on your left ring finger as usual and just switch the order of the rings a later when no ones watching.

    I wore mine on my right hand during the ceremony. Pre-ceremony, I had it on the left still. If your right hand really is too big for it, I say either have your fiance or husband hold it during the ceremony, just for whatever reason. (I just like that idea. :) )

    I was just planning on wearing it as normal, and having him put the wedding band on top of it.  Then after the cermony, I would flip them the other way around.  My band is going to be curved to fit close to my ring, so I think it would look odd alone.

    I'm trying to lean away from wearing it on my left finger and just having him put the band on on top because the band is supposed to be closest to your heart and I'd have to remove it right away after the ceremony to switch it. I don't want to jynx anything! LOL

    I may wear it on my right hand, or have him take the ring of my left hand put the band and then put the e-ring on it again.

    I was thinking about that too. First I thought I could wear on my right hand like many other bees have done, but it made me feel a little uncomfortable. Maybe I'll have MIL or SIL to wear it and then give it back later. I also thought that I can just put them together at the ceremony, that will be fine too.

    I cant see myself NOT wearing my ring at all that day!!

    I agree with @pinkshoes...that's what most people I know have done.  Just switch the bands around after the ceremony...you and your guy will usually have a few minutes together after the ceremony and before the chaos of the formal post-game pictures...one of the first things you'll be looking at are your new rings and you can switch them then - no big deal.

    @trugem: Oh I really like that idea! i was just going to wear it on my right hand, but I like the idea of his taking the ring off and then putting it back on after the wedding ring.

    I was planning on putting my e ring on my right hand during the ceremony, then switching it back over after the ceremony was over, but I couldn't fit it onto my right hand!  My BM ended up wearing it on her right hand and giving it to me after the ceremony.

    I wore it on my right hand.  Then after the vows, I moved it over on top of the wedding band.  So can't vote in your poll.

    I'm keeping mine on my left hand too, since I want to wear my blue diamond ring on my right hand as my "something blue".  Then I'll flip the band and e-ring around after the ceremony.

    Im glad Im not the only one is confused about this. I wear a promise ring Mr E gave me before we were engaged on my left hand, so I think I am just going to get him to put both my wedding band and e-ring on me when we exchange them during the ceremony.

    My e-ring fits in between the bands The minister suggested slipping it off when he asks for the rings and then putting the two of them on at the same time. Im not sure if i will do this or just fix it after the ceremony. I don't think anyone will have a chance to notice that it is not on correctly.. right after you and your husband walk off you can change it!

    I will be taking mine in to be soldered a couple of weeks before the wedding. I've never imagined doing it any other way...I also have 2 wedding bands so it would be a hassle to put on the wedding band, engagment ring, then another wedding one.

    I too am right handed and can't wear my e-ring on the right becuase my right ring finger is about a .25 to almost .50 size larger--which is strange because you can't tell at all.  My e-ring though doesn't look good with any bands we found and I didn't want the wedding band to rub on the diamonds along the side of the band so I'm not wearing a wedding band on my left hand, it will be on my right!  I know, it's different, but pretty typical "back in the day" I guess to wear it on the right hand anyway and it's what works for me.  So for me I'm going to take off the e-ring right before the ceremony and my FI will place both rings on my hands during the ceremony.

    I am not sure what to do either. My something borrowed is my Mom's wedding band that I will wear on my right hand (my Dad gave her a new ring on their 30th anniversary). And my ring is notched out on the bottom for my wedding band to fit into and under. My MOH will be pregnant, so my ring won't fit her finger, so I am in the process of trying to figure out where mine will go too. I love my ring and can't imagine it not being on me, as it is the ring that started the whole wedding process in the first place. Smile

    My E-Ring will be with the wedding band on our pillow. After we have exchanged rings, the e-ring will be blessed as a symbol of a fulfilled promise and FI will put it on over my ring. = )
