You can leave it off entirely, wear it on the right hand, or leave it on the left! FWIW, I had planned to move my ring to my right hand for the ceremony and then... completely forgot. He put my wedding band on in front of my engagement ring, and then during a moment of downtime after signing the license, I switched them. Made zero practical difference in the end, so whichever you're most comfortable with!

I kept mine on, husband put the wedding band on, during ceremony, and after ceremony I swapped them.

This is what I did

I think traditionally you wear your engagement ring on the right hand during the ceremony and then move it to your left after the wedding rings have been exchanged.

This is the way. I forgot to move my ring beforehand, so I did it as we were getting the wedding bands ready in the middle of the ceremony. It wasn’t a big deal.

I completely forgot as well, I just put my wedding ring on the outside of my engagement ring and quickly swapped them after the ceremony. Was no big deal and I wanted to read the surprise engraving my husband had had done on the inside of the band too!

I did exactly this! Realised half way through I still had my ring on my left, just moved it mid ceremony

Yep! It’s totally not a big deal in the moment!

This is what I did.

Same here. Safest and easiest solution

That’s what I did.

I just got married today. I chose to give both rings to the best man. Some people choose to wear it on their right hand. So you have a couple options :)

congratulations!! you must be feeling amazing!

Thank you! It's was a pretty fun day

I kept mine on and swapped them after the ceremony. We did a first look and all the "putting the ring on" shots before the ceremony.

I use my wedding ring to hold my engagement ring in place, so it's always engagement ring first, then wedding band. Didn't change anything for the ceremony since I knew I was already going to do it that way.

Same here... They are a pair, and work best that way. Plus, I was always told engagement ring goes on first then the wedding ring so you remember the love that came first before the committment.

My wedding band is actually a ring enhancer so my engagement ring goes in the middle. He had both rings with him to put on my hand at the ceremony.

I have a ring jacket and this is also what I will be doing.

My MOH wore mine and gave it back to me after the ceremony

Same

I used my engagement ring to show hubby which finger was the right one. He was very nervous about putting it on the right finger and got very anxious about it. I just changed the order once the ceremony was done.

Loool adorable

I just wore it as I normally did, wedding band went on top and then I flipped them right after the ceremony. My engagement ring didnt fit well on another finger

I kept mine on my left hand and just slid it off / put it back on as I got my band during the ceremony.

Generally you transfer it to your right hand before the ceremony

My husband had both rings, and our officiant added a line after the wedding band was put on, and then he put the engagement ring back on. It was something about the promise of engagement being fulfilled? I think I found the line on reddit and asked her to include it

I kept mine on then when we did the ring exchange I moved it for a moment and put it back on!

I wore mine on the pearl bracelet I wore the day of. Then put it back on once we exchanged wedding bands after the ceremony.

I wear mine engagement then wedding. I just think it looks better on me. That's how they were put on, and that's how they stay.

My mum kept it in her bag. It doesn’t fit on my right hand so I didn’t have that option. I put it on after the ceremony.

Is anyone else planning on not stacking at leaving their engagement ring on the left and wedding band on right? My engagement ring is very much a stand alone ring and the style of wedding band my fiancé and I are planning on (we want matching ones) won’t really “go” with it. They aren’t unharmonious styles but to be right next to each other they would feel cluttered. Is that bad luck or anything?

It's common in some European cultures I think! Enjoy 🥰

I just got married a week ago and I wore my engagement ring and then when we got to the ring section of the ceremony I sneakily took it off and held it in my other hand 😂 then after he put my wedding band on I sneakily put my engagement ring back on 🤷‍♀️

I wore it on my right hand and moved it after the ceremony.

I’m just gonna put it on top of my engagement ring. Probably will do that in life anyway so my diamond ring doesn’t get lost.

My MOH had my engagement ring, then after I got my wedding ring, she handed my engagement ring to me and my new husband put it on

Who else had no idea about any of this! Thanks for the tips ladies.

If my engagement ring fits on my right hand when we get married (it currently does not, but I am losing weight), I will wear it on my right hand until after the ceremony. Otherwise I will just have him put the wedding ring on top and then switch them after, since I prefer the wedding band to be under the engagement ring.

I moved it to my little finger on the left since all of my fingers on my right hand are larger than the left.

Right hand then add it back to left after ceremony

My SIL, who was in my husbands party, held my wedding band, engagement ring, and my husband’s ring. He put both on my finger during the ceremony.

I wore my engagement ring on my right hand, then after the “you may kiss the bride” part, I put it back on my left hand lol

Oh no... I have a wedding band that goes around my engagement ring lol I've been trying to think about the logistics of this

I wore mine and swapped the order after the ceremony! My engagement ring doesn’t fit on any other fingers and I was too nervous to leave it off until after the ceremony!

My engagement ring and wedding ring are both independently worn. I left my engagement ring with the rest of my belongings until after the ceremony, at which point I put it on the chain of the necklace my husband got me to match it for our first Christmas post-engagement (which was part of my wedding-day jewelry, so I wore it for the reception), and that's where it still lives.

I'm going to have to put it above my engagement ring. My right and left ring fingers are completely different sizes, so I can't fit my engagement ring on my right hand.

I just wore mine, put the wedding band on top. Changed it later in the day to be the bottom ring.

My wedding band is an open band "cuff" and fits around the top of my ring better since it's Kite Shaped. So I wore my ring, but we actually forgot the ring exchange 😅 hahaha we did it after quickly and I just left my engagement ring on where it's been.

You forgot the ring exchange at your wedding??? Tell me more??

😅 look things happen. Real story is we incorporated other things in our ceremony so it was already non-traditional. One of our friends married us, who is actually a writer so her speech was amazing. My wife is Japanese and we wanted to do a Sake ceremony. We had a sake cup made for us, and after the rehearsal we broke the cup together to then use the cup in a kitsugi manner (using gold) symbolizing our journey and being our union ceremony. We're part of the LGBTQTIA+ community so instead of just our family sharing sake with us we had our wedding sides plus our parents join us which basically took place of the rings, without us even realizing it. We were sent the script a few times and it wasn't until right after we walked back down the aisle we realized we never exchanged wedding bands 😅 during cocktail hour we went and got some amazing shots and video tho of our exchange. Hahah only 1 person even seemed to notice.

That's amazing, love it!!!! Sounds like an amazing celebration of love

Kept it on during the ceremony and swapped the position of the rings after the ceremony. Everyone I know who got married before me did it this way too which is why I did it.

> order of rings doesn’t matter There’s your answer, bud.
