  • Traditionally, the wedding ring should go on first so it's closest to your heart. But there's no right or wrong way, it's just whatever you prefer really. i've seen people do both.
  • I believe the wedding ring goes on first and stays on. Any other rings can be worn or removed at will.
  • The wedding band should always be worn closest to your heart, so it goes on first. All the ettiquette books will explain this at some point. My mom is a walking, talking ettiquette book. Ask me anything! ;-)
  • As far as i know i just comes down to personal preference, as long as its on the right finger, it doesn't really matter all that much
  • Well logic/tradition dictates the engagement ring first since that is probably the order you literally do it. Engagement then you get married. but you can wear them in any order if you really want too.
  • its supposed to go whichever one is closest to your heart. your wedding is closer to your heart than your engagement, so your wedding band thus representing your hubby comes first. you do know the only reason we wear our wedding rings on our left ring finger is because that finger has a vein which runs directly to our heart in it, right? fun fact....
  • I have my eternity ring on first,then my wedding ring and then my engagement ring, for no other reason than my eternity ring is too big and my engagement ring is smaller and holds everything else on my finger.
  • When our rings were blessed, I was told that the wedding band goes first as it is a perfect circle, as unending as your love, and not 'interrupted'). By interrupted, I assumed he meant by a jutting diamond.
  • takes three rings to keep you believing you're married?
  • I've never seen it done any way other than the wedding ring and then then engagement ring. Think in terms of the ceremony. When he puts the ring on your finger-should it go on top of other rings?
  • Tradition has it that the wedding band goes on first, as it is closer to your heart. Most women remove their engagement ring before exchanging rings in a wedding ceremony and then replace it after the wedding ring has been put on.
  • I think the traditional "proper" way is with wedding band close to your heart. I have seen more modern women, including myself, go the opposite way. It just makes more sense to me, that they should go on in the order of receipt.
  • I had always heard that the engagement ring comes off to allow the wedding ring to be closer to the heart and then the engagement ring back on to protect the placement of the wedding ring.
  • I heard it this way...the engagement ring then the wedding band: -The engagement ring is the promise so it goes on first -The wedding ring is the vow, which seals the promise, so it goes on second....securing the engagement ring
  • my wife's wedding ring is her engagement ring. she threw a fit for the 3 days I took it back to get it cleaned up before the wedding. it cost $110 and was my own design, would have been about half that had I not made them melt down a ring I used to wear to make it. and I did not give debeers a penny for one of their worthless rocks. then again I would not have married a woman so vain as to demand a diamond. put a diamond in the oven at 400 and see how "forever" it is. in a couple hours you will have a piece of graphite (AKA pencil lead). diamonds are no more rare than quartz and are only expencive because debeers makes an artificial shortage.
