I was watching Jason and Molly's wedding last night, how sweet!!!! And I noticed her engagement ring on her right finger when he was putting the band on her left and it dawned on me that I didnt even think of where mine should be the day of my wedding. Of course I want to wear it on the other hand but is this usually what brides do?
The other hand being your right? Because yes, most brides take this route. You can always wear it on your left though and just switch the rings after the ceremony.
I'm trying to figure out what I want to do. I wear a ring on my ring hand all the time and I dont want to take it off for the wedding. So I'm thinking of either leaving my engagement ring on my left hand and just switching the rings right after the ceremony or I might put my engagment ring with my wedding ring and then when FI puts the wedding band on, he'll slip my engagement ring on right after.
I am going to wear mine on my other hand until after the ceremony and then i will move it back to its rightful place with the wedding ring.
i thought about this too and we though about giving the best man the engagement ring and the wedding band so when he puts the ring on my finger he will be actually putting both on there. i dont know if we are having a ring bearer yet so most likely the best man will hold on to them until them.
i am thinking though that when i am getting ready and taking picture shouldnt i be wearing it? i am so confused too!
I'm going to wear it on my left hand and just let him put the band over it. I'll reverse after the ceremony. I don't know why but e-rings on right hands look so weird to me.
@corgitales, it does look weird to me also on the right hand but I feel like when my FI puts the band on my finger there shouldnt be another ring there
@tammy-- hm... that's not a bad point. I guess maybe i just won't wear my e-ring at all and put it on later? I'll have to give it more thought.
Hi date twin! We're getting so close! I think I'm going to do the right hand thing, and just slip it onto the left hand after the ceremony. I kind of like the idea of him putting the wedding band on an empty finger. Not sure why! I think all the ways of doing it are just fine. :)
I plan on having my MOH wear mine during the ceremony! :) Then she'll put it on over my band after. I think this is another common way to do it.
i'll prob wear it on my right ring finger along with my promise ring "over" it.
i like having the only ring on my left being my wedding band during the ceremony..then switch it over afterwards
:D
I just tried and put my ering on my right hand. It feels so weird! I do think that it woul dbe good not to have a ring on my left finger though.
I am going to have my MOH hold it during the ceremony and then slip it on after. I was going to put it on my other hand, but when I get nervous my fingers swell so I am afraid I wouldn't be able to get it off of my right hand.
My engagement ring doesn't fit on my right hand. How can my right ring finger be so much bigger than my left? I'm just going to wear my engagment ring on my left hand and have my FI put my wedding band on top of it during the ceremony. I'll just switch them after. I'm just afraid of something akward happening if I do it any other way.
I obsessed over this for MONTHS, wondering what to do, because my engagement ring doesn't fit on my right hand and I didn't really want to take off my e-ring or put it in another finger nor did I want to have the wedding band put on top of the e-ring if it's supposed to go under it...
Well, when the time came I just wore my e-ring in the very same finger it's been sitting at since we got engaged, and hubby put the wedding band on top of the e-ring, then on the ride to the reception site I took them off and switched them, wedding band first and e-ring on top. And it turned out to be no big deal :-P
I have never even thought about this! I see alot of brides having their E ring on their right hand during the ceremony come to think of it...and I do love the idea however it wont work for me! I have a Size 4 E-ring and it wont fit on my right hand! :( So I guess they will both be on the same hand for me.
So I wore mine all day with my wedding band (we did photos first) then prior to the ceremony we gave the wedding band to best man/MoH and e-ring to my other close friend who was a BM. Then the pastor did a reading to incorporate it. He asked my BM for the e-ring then said
“The engagement ring is a symbol of promise and intention. Now the intention is realized and the promise fulfilled. Please place the engagement ring on Kelly’s finger over her wedding band to symbolize that the love that brought you together will always protect and sustain your marriage.”

Unfortunately, my e-ring doesn't fit on my right hand so up until the I walked down the aisle it was still on my left hand. When I walked with my father, I placed it half way down on my right hand until the vows were done then I immediately placed it back on my ring finger
we are incorporating my e-ring into the ceremony, so my ring bearer will bring it down the aisle with the bands
@marlew- I love that idea of having it in the ring pillow!
@Kelly- I love how the priest included a speech for the e-ring
I think im going to just wear it all day on my left finger, then before I walk down the aisle I will switch it real quick to the right hand (even though it feels super weird) (and hopefully I wont be too nervous that i'd forget) , then switch back afterwards, that way I will be single for the last time before reaching the alter, lol
I'm thinking about wearing it on my right hand but haven't decided yet. I really like the idea of working it into the ceremony though!
I really wish I had a way to put a band with my ring, just won't look right at all--long story. Instead my FI will give me a band for my right hand, I know, weird but oh well. The e-ring has diamonds in it from his grandmother's e-ring so it's very special to us both. Yes, the wedding band is even more due to the wedding day but that's just how we are doing it. So we are placing the e-ring on my left and the band on my right during the ceremony. Weird for most people to see I'm sure, but if they want to know I'll explain I guess. Plus, right hand ring finger is very European too so it's not all that strange technically.
IF I was in your situation I couldn't place it on my right hand either because it's a size bigger but you would never know by looking at it. Strange. Apparently if you are right hand dominant then that hand tends to have more muscles thus making your fingers a different size. Pain. In. The. Butt.
I was planning on wearing mine on my right hand but I just tried it on and it doesn't fit. Hmph. I guess I don't know what I'm doing with it!
Ugh. Mine doesn't fit on my right hand either! I guess I will either just leave it on my left hand (and then swap the order of the rings after the ceremony), or I'll give it to the best man or maid of honor to hold onto (carefully!) until after the ceremony.
My wedding band fits over my e-ring (its a solitaire enhancer) so the best man will hold both rings until FI gives it to me at the ceremony.
I'm going to wear it on my left hand as usual and let him put the band over it. I'll reverse after the ceremony.
I will also being wearing mine on my left ring finger and switching them around after the ceremony.
I think I'll have to have him put the band on over my e-ring and reverse them after the ceremony because my e-ring is too tight to get off without trouble right in the middle of the ring exchange.
We are only doing 1 ring (no wedding band for me). So I guess I will take off my engagement ring and he'll put it back on my hands during the vows.
my plan is to wear my e-ring on my right hand and switch it to my left after the ceremony :)
@corgi! you arn't alone...I think it looks SO odd on the right hand! A girl in my college study group senior year got a "promise ring" but it was large and looked exactly like an engagement ring but she wore it on her right hand since it wasn't an e-ring and even though I understood her reasoning the OCD man woman inside of me wanted to switch it SO badly! haha hopefully I can make it thru the ceremony without fiddling with it ;P
I'm leaving it on my left hand and just having him put my band on over it.
My e-ring is actually too big for my right hand, even the middle finger. My entire left hand size of everything is significantly bigger than the right... eye, hand, foot, everything. I think I'll probably wear it on my left hand, and maybe swap it out RIGHT before I walk down the aisle, because I'd be soo afraid to lose it if it was on my right hand for any extended period of time. And then put it back after the wedding band goes on.
i figured i was supposed to get my two outside bands saudered to my engagement ring before the wedding??????? i'm wrong??? help :)
I'll wear it on my left hand all day and then switch it to my right just before walking down the aisle. Like most of you though, it doesn't fit quite right on my right hand! I just tried it and I really had to pull to get it to come off... yikes!
Good post - I hadn't thought about this. Like some others here, my e-ring doesn't fit on my right hand. I like the idea of having my MOH wear it, then I'll put it on after the ceremony...I have really tiny fingers though, so if it doesn't fit her, I'll probably just wear it on my left hand like usual, then switch them after the ceremony.
I always hoped I would wear it on my right hand, but I just tried it on while reading this post and remembered that my right hand is soooooo much chubbier than my left hand for some reason. Unless I can lose some finger weight before next year I will most likely give my ring to my mum or my MOH to look after for me.
I plan on wearing it on my right hand for the ceremony then making the switch back afterwards. It will be a bit of a tight fit but hopefully I'll watch my salt intake the days beforehand and this won't be too much of an issue!
I just put my ring on my right hand and it looks way weird! Before I got engaged I would wear a ring on my right hand on the time, now it feels so strange. I think I'm going to have him put both on at once...
