Is The Wedding Ring Supposed To Go On Before Or After The
Engagement?
It seems a lot of people feel strongly about this. I suppose it wouldn’t make much difference if they were the kind of set where they nestle and you can’t tell – but they aren’t.
Which way do you think is right? Wedding ring first and then engagement, or the other way around?
Thanks

I find that the reasoning behind most people wearing the engagement ring first is very materialistic, in that you would be less likely to lose the “more expensive” ring! Is your marriage about materialism? I hope not!!! A marriage shouldn’t be based on material things!
The wedding ring, the symbol of your commitment, goes closest to your heart!!! It is the only true way to show commitment. Then if you choose to continue to wear your engagement ring (some people don’t because they don’t want to chance losing it, or they only wear it for special occasions), your engagement ring should go on after your wedding ring.
I am a VERY superstitious person. When a bride get married, they are supposed to wear their engagement ring on their right hand, only for the ceremony, so that the left hand is free for the wedding ring. I got very irritated with my cousin over this, as she insisted on putting her wedding ring on after her engagement ring. She and her husband separated on their 1 year anniversary and are now going through a divorce.
My wife wears her wedding first then the engagement.
I have always know newlyweds to put the wedding ring on the outside of your finger. they say that it is sealing the vow of marriage to their husbands and show that they will stay true to them also. so you can put it anyway you want but i world recommend you put it on the outside to show your love and appreciation of you spouse.
Wedding ring first then the engagement ring. They say you wear it that way because its closest to your heart. I personally just think that’s the correct way. Make sure that when you walk down the aisle you have the engagement ring on your right hand so the wedding ring will go on all by at self, first then you can switch your engagement ring back later.
It doesn’t make a difference. It is personal preference. I wear my engagement ring first and then the wedding ring as does my mom. My sister does the opposite. The ‘closer to your heart’ is actually a bunch of bunk that just gets repeated over and over. Someone just made that up to make it sound like it was ’something.’ There is no correct way unless you are royalty, and in some cases, titled.
Here’s the way I remember I read this in an article in the newspaper and thought it was a cute way to remember: Wedding band first because it should be closest to your heart, engagement ring on top should be closest to the wallet. Hope that this help you remember. Good Luck!

Traditionally, the wedding band is worn closest to the heart because the wedding ring is the concrete sealing of the marriage pact. . Consequently, the wedding ring has a religious significance which the engagement ring lacks.
It’s traditional to put your wedding ring on first then your engagement ring this way the wedding band is “Closer to your heart”. That being said t’s not like that’s law or anything, you can wear it where ever you like without consequence.
Wedding ring then engagement. The wedding band is suppose to be close to your heart. HOWEVER, if you like it best the other way then do it that way.
Wedding ring on the inside, and the engagement ring closest to the tip of your finger.
everyone says the wedding band goes in first and then the E. ring..but im going to do it the other way…its just my presonal prefference..besides he ask me to marry him first with that ring so why should it be second…
your wedding ring goes on at your wedding the engagement ring goes on when he or she proposes.
the engagement ring outside your wedding band is supposed to be closer to your heart
slide wedding ring on first, then engagement according to protocol
I like wedding ring first and then engagement
I’ve always heard the wedding band goes closet to your heart (and that’s how I”m able to remember how it goes!)
engagememnt ring goes on first and then wedding ring.
Wedding band on the inside.
the wedding band should be closest to your heart
when u engage usay willl u marry me then pull out the ring
Note: i edited this answer… so if i confuse you at the top, the bottom probably makes more sense hah.

This question confuses me… wedding rings go on at the wedding. that is after the engagement.
Most engagement rings are the fancier ones. The shiny ones with diamonds etc. . Wedding rings tend to be just plain bands (aka wedding bands). Now a days ive noticed more and more wedding rings are flashy .Im not quite sure why… wearing a ring that is large and expensive all the time doesnt seem to me. Im sure it has to do with putting up an image.
In the end, it doenst matter. It is just a symbol. It could be a fruit loop on your finger (or imitation fruit loop!) . I could count the number of times ive looked at someones wedding/ engagement ring on one hand and have 5 fingers left over. No one really cares
Since you mention wedding sets (ones that nestle) they are meant to be worn together. The bigger more flashy one first then the band second (closer tot he tip of your finger).
The rings I have from my wedding a couple years ago were not from a set. My engagement ring is on my dresser. I wear my wedding ring daily (if i remember! haha).
Again, in the end it does not matter, but asking if you wear the wedding ring before the engagement ring, doesnt make much sense at all.

edit!
actualy, are you asking that if you wear BOTH on the finger at the same time, which you put on first?
Id personaly put the larger one on first (usually engagement), then the smaller one or more plain on in front of it… that way if they fall off or i lose one, i lose the less expensive one first!
That is strictly a common sense and personal preference type answer. I would also consider it logical since many brides wear their engagement ring to their wedding, and the wedding ring goes on in front of it. you arent going to take off a ring, to put on a ring– then put on another ring! The reasoning of “closer to your heart” makes sense but i find it illogical.
However, if they arent a set they just get too bulky, uncomfortable, and not attractive. id only wear one of them.
Sorry if i misinterpreted your question. I tried to answer both ways!
