Wedding Band vs. Engagement Ring

From what I know the engagement ring is an engagement ring, and the wedding band goes on during the wedding ceremony. There are different ways to wear it after the ceremony, whether you put your band on before your ring, or opposite.

You exchange rings at the ceremony which are the wedding bands. Some people where their engagement ring during the ceremony and put the band on top or some have their engagement ring elsewhere (tucked away safe or on other hand) during the ceremony and put it on with the wedding band once the ceremony is done.

Your engagement ring is proposal and wedding band can match your previous ring. He will need a band too to match your metal.

If never sure, always asl the professionals what the difference is rather than getting mislead.

No wedding is complete without the exchange of rings.

The wedding band goes on during the ceremony then after you put the engagement ring on. The idea is that the band is closest to your heart.... or so they say lol

As everyone said : exchange of wedding bands not ...engagement ring !

He's wrong. Sorry lol. You always exchange bands. You win

You definitely exchange wedding bands during the ceremony, but you can wear your rings in whatever order you want!

A wedding band is traditional, and you add your engagement ring back to your hand after the ceremony.

However, you can do whatever the heck you like!

As everyone said, you exchange wedding bands the day of and keep your engagement ring elsewhere until after the wedding.

A lot of people keep their engagement ring on the right hand during the ceremony. You can also keep it on your ring finger too, as others mentioned. I asked the best man to hold mine since he was responsible for all the rings the morning of and I didn't want to lose it anywhere. Some people get their mom to hold it or ask their MOH to hold onto it as well. Really anywhere is good lol!

As everyone has pretty much said! You walk down the isle with the engagement ring on your right hand and he puts the wedding band on your left, and then you put the engagement ring back on top of it after!

That is "standard" at least!

You want the wedding band to be closer to your heart

Maybe he's mistaking what he's seen at weddings. I have never seen the engagement ring used in the wedding ceremony. Wedding bands are separate things. We even did a ring blessing at our ceremony where the pastor blessed our wedding bands, so it doesn't make sense not to have a band at the ceremony.

You are both supposed to exchange wedding bands during the ceremony. Traditionally you would wear your engagement ring on your right hand ring finger during the ceremony but you don't have to. I wore my engagement ring like normal during the ceremony and just flipped my rings around after.

I have never seen or heard of that. You always get a wedding band, hence the terms wedding band and exchange of rings

He's definitely supposed to put a wedding band on you, and vice-versa. You wear your engagement ring on the ring finger of your right hand for the ceremony, then afterwards you put it back on your left ring finger... so the order goes palm, wedding band, engagement ring, finger tip.

Exactly what Jennifer said, it's so the wedding band is "closest to your heart".

Order of Rings

I think you’re supposed to put the wedding band on first so it’s closest to your heart and then add your engagement ring back on after the ceremony. That’s what I’m doing anyways haha I think it’s called wedding band for a reason so I would assume you would definitely be using it for the ceremony?
