Should I Wear My Engagement Ring On My Wedding Day?

I Want To Wear My Engagement Ring On My Wedding Day But Is This Traditional?


On My Wedding Day what is the Tradition with wearing an Engagement Ring?


Engagement Ring On My Wedding Day?

The Traditional View on Wedding Rings is that the fourth finger on your left hand is closest to your heart and so your Engagement Ring and your Wedding Ring should be worn on this finger.

This is an old tradition that dates right back to Ancient Greek times and seems to be something that has been adopted across the world.

The Engagement Ring will be worn continuously from the day you get engaged and you may have already decided that once you are married you no longer want to wear your Engagement Ring.

But what should happen on your Wedding day should you choose to want to still be wearing your Engagement Ring, should you continue wearing the Engagement Ring or should this finger be free for you to put on your Wedding Ring only?

Tradition says that once you are married a Wedding Band is worn and that the Wedding Band should be put onto the Wedding Ring finger first so this ring is closest to your heart and the Engagement Ring is then placed second to that. 

Some people believe that your Wedding Finger should be free on the day of your Wedding so the Wedding Band can be put on during the exchange of rings moment, others will choose to move the Engagement Ring at the last moment just before the Rings are exchanged and then place this on after the Wedding Ring.

Think about your photos when signing the Register, do you want to have just your Wedding Ring on or both? You may have paid to have matching rings that sit nicely together that you’d like to be seen in your photos.

You could decide to wear your Engagement Ring on your Right Hand for your Wedding Day and then move it over once you have had your Wedding Band put on, just make sure that you check that it actually fits, it would be really unfortunate if at the last minute on the day of the Wedding you realised that your ring doesn’t fit on the other hand, there are horror stories of people forcing their rings on and then struggling to get them back off again, not stress you need on your special day!

So, what are the other options rather than wearing your ring on your other hand on your special day? Well, you could ask for someone to look after your ring for you during the ceremony or you could even put this on a necklace or in your bouquet if you wanted, loads of couples now involve their pets on their Wedding Days so you could put your rings on a collar that your pet is wearing if you can be sure it won’t get ruined of course!

How about after your Wedding Day, how do people choose to wear their rings then?

Nowadays a lot more couples will choose matching ring sets so would choose to wear both their Wedding Ring and the Engagement Ring every day after they get married. There is even the option to buy Eternity rings in the future so three rings are worn at some point.

It might be that you prefer that your Wedding Band to be worn alone or you have chosen a cheaper priced Wedding Ring as you want to wear your Engagement Ring once married. Some famous people will do this think of the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton she wears her Engagement Ring and no Wedding Band because this was an heirloom from Princess Diana.

Of course there are some celebrities that take this whole ring thing a lot further by having several Engagement Rings over the years and wearing more than one at the same time like Kim Kardashian.

There are no hard and fast rules and certainly no laws that govern all this, if it’s your Wedding Day you should choose whichever option suits you!
