Once again I'm thinking about the most random things pertaining to the wedding. I've been thinking about the ceremony and the giving and recieving of the wedding rings.
Now my question is, what do you do with your engagement ring?????
Do you wear it?
Do you not wear it?
Do you wear it on your right hand?
If you're a married gal, what did you do?
If you're an engaged gal, what are you going to do?
If you're neither what do you think you'd do?
I'd love to know because I don't have a clue!!!!
On an unrelated note, the interview went well, I fumbled on a couple of questions and they gave a dang problem solving test, hello I'm the worst test taker in the world, it's nice to meet you! The good thing about this job is they want to move fast so they told me they'd have a decision made by Friday!!! I'll be on pins and needles until I hear!
Congratulations on a fabulous interview! I'm sure they will hire you! Some of my etiquette books that I used for D's wedding suggested wearing the engagement ring on the right ring finger for the ceremony.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on wearing mine, and just putting the wedding ring on "top" of it. I'll switch it around after the ceremony.
ReplyDeleteI wore my engagement ring on my right hand during the ceremony, then switched it over when our backs were to the congregation.
ReplyDeleteMy left ring finger is smaller than my right, so I just wore my engagement ring on my left hand. Then he just placed the wedding band on top of it, and I remembered in the limo to switch it around before we got to the reception.
ReplyDeletefrom what i know you're supposed to wear it on your right hand, but i'm planning on taking it off just before the ceremony and having it go back on with my wedding bands, all as one.
ReplyDeleteI had planned on wearing mine on my right hand, but my husband had it fused to the wedding ring...so when he slipped the ring on my finger...it stayed.
ReplyDeleteHope you get the job! As for the ring thing... I totally didn't even think about it and forgot to do anything with my ring until we were walking down the aisle. oops! It was still on my left hand. I am pretty sure he just put the band on in front of it, and then I switched them later. I tried taking the ring off while standing there so I could switch it to my right hand, but the darn thing wouldn't budge because my fingers were a bit swollen from the heat. =) I think it is really just what you feel comfortable with. A lot of people wear it on their right hand and put it on the left after the ceremony.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed on the job:)
ReplyDeleteI wore my engagement ring on my right hand and then moved it to my left at some point during the ceremony when our backs were turned. It worked fine.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week!
hi there! to second all of these girls - you either wear it on your right hand or have your wedding ring put on top of it. whichever you like! and sometimes people like the wedding ring on top for permanently, it all depends on how your rings look together. :)
ReplyDeletehello! I wondered the same thing! I wore my ring on my right hand and then switched after the ceremony. I have also heard that you can have your maid of honor wear it, but my sister was too nervous for that! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI think I am going to wear mine on my right hand.
ReplyDeleteWhen my sister got married, I wore her engagement ring on my right hand (I was the MOH).

ReplyDeleteI switched the ring to my right hand and then switched it back after the ceremony. Now I switch both of them as I feel like, because from where I'm from you wear your wedding band on the right and the engagement on the left...
ReplyDeleteHi there! I've been reading reading & enjoying your blog for a few weeks now, and this is my first time commenting. Just wanted you to know how much I've enjoyed following you on your wedding journey (I was just married 3 months ago!).
ReplyDeleteI concur with most of the other posters -- I moved my engagement ring to my right ring finger for the ceremony, and moved it back after. I didn't want my wedding band to be put on top of my engagement ring, as it should always go below it...to be closer to your heart!

I wore mine on my right hand and then switched it to my left after he placed my band on and our backs were to the crowd. Good luck on th ejob!
ReplyDeleteI put my engagement ring in a lock box at the bank for the wedding and then I took it out when I came back from my honeymoon. When travelling anywhere it is best not to have "expensive " jewelry.
ReplyDeleteI wore just the wedding band.
My Maid of Honor wore mine and gave it to me after we exchanged rings.
ReplyDeleteTraditionally, you switch the engagement ring to your right hand before the ceremony so the wedding ring will be placed on your left hand first (closet to your heart). Then you can move the engagement ring back over to your left hand after the ceremony. :-

When we married I put my diamond on my right hand and as soon as we were down the aisle I switched over. Mine was a little complicated becasue I actually have two bands...one for either side of my engagement ring.
