I have a question

On the day of he wedding, do you wear your engagement ring on the opposite hand? I was wondering because your band is supposed to be closer to your heart so you wear it first then your E-ring? Somebody told me you do and others told me you don't

Re: I have a question

Wear your e ring on your right hand and then switch it to your left hand after the ceremony,

Re: I have a question

Until I have my wedding band placed on my finger, I am going to wear my e-ring on my right hand on my wedding day and then I will move it.

Re: I have a question

I was told you give it to a trusted family member or friend (BM or MOH) until after you are married and have your wedding band on.

Re: I have a question

I have to keep my e-ring on my left hand even during the ceremony.... u confused yet??? lol - it's cuz i'm greek orthodox, and we wear our wedding bands on our right hands.... so my e-ring will stay put!

Re: I have a question

I think it is correct to either wear it on the opposite hand or give it to a family member. I, however, wore it on the regular hand and discretely slipped it off right before the ring exchange. (It is too small for my other hand and I wanted to wear it - so didn't give it to my mom!)

Re: I have a question

an interesting questions - I never even thought of this! My e-ring doesn't even fit on my right hand, huh!

Re: I have a question

I think it's a preference. To me, having the wedding band put on after my e-ring signifies a lock. JMO

Re: I have a question

I forgot to put it on my right hand so I wore it on my left hand during the ceremony, then ight befor ethe exchange of rings, slipped it onto my right hand. I don't think anyone noticed

Re: I have a question

I planned on putting it on my right hand, but just tried & it doesn't fit!

Re: I have a question

I'm keeping it on my left hand and having FH slip the band on top of it. I can just picture me dropping it or my MOH losing it in all of the craziness of the wedding. It's staying put. Not to mention, it doesn't fit my right hand.
