Q: How do I wear my engagement ring?
A: During your engagement, you wear your engagement ring on the ring finger of your left hand.
Q. How do I wear my engagement ring and wedding ring together?
A: You wear both rings together on the ring finger of your left hand. Tradition says you wear your wedding ring closest to your heart. So you put on your wedding ring first, and then your engagement ring. Unless your engagement ring fits a bit loosely and you’re afraid of losing it—then it’s better to wear your engagement ring first. Because on the big day the groom will slide your wedding ring onto your left ring finger, you wear your engagement ring on your right ring finger that day.
Q: I feel like my engagement ring and wedding ring don’t really match… Should I still wear them together?
A: Not necessarily. If you decide not to wear them together on the same finger, then wear your wedding ring on the ring finger of your left hand, and wear your engagement ring on the ring finger of your right hand.
Q: Do I wear my engagement ring and wedding ring every day?
A: Some brides choose not to wear their engagement ring daily after the wedding day, because they worry the ring—often set with a brilliant or diamond—might snag on clothing, or get damaged through everyday activities. In that case, you wear your engagement ring only on special occasions. In principle, you do wear your wedding ring daily.
Q: Is a wedding ring a must, or can I just wear my engagement ring as a wedding ring?
A: Nobody says you have to have a wedding ring, so in principle you can wear your engagement ring as your wedding ring. Still, it’s special to choose matching rings together and both wear them… A wedding ring is a symbol of your love and your commitment to each other. And that you’re no longer engaged, but married!
