    I am going to wear mine on the same finger but on my right hand the day of. After the ceremony and before pictures, I will put it on top of my wedding band.

    Not quite sure, maybe on my opposite hand? IS there an actual etiquette rule for this?

    I think I will wear mine on the other hand during the ceremony.

    I might end up switching hands temporarily. It’s apparently quite hard for someone else to put a ring on a finger that already has a ring on

    I think it's weird if you don't wear it, so I will be wearing mine as usual.

    I'll likely leave mine with my fiancé and I's wedding bands. I hadn't thought about this before this board, so thank you!

    Typically the wedding band is the first on the finger then the engagement on top. So for brides that decide to do that will wear their engagement ring on the right so the band can go on then just put the engagement on top after the ceremony.

    I am so lost... I had no idea you wouldn't wear it (or would wear it on the right hand) What is the purpose of not wearing it for the ceremony? Placement? Or sacred-ness of the wedding band itself? I had never considered not wearing my engagement ring for the ceremony

    Mine will be on my right hand, putting it on my left hand again after the ceremony/signing the marriage certificate. I want a few photos of just the band on the left hand.

    I will wear it in my right hands then put it on after the ceremony. I don't like the look of engagement ring then wedding band. Personally I prefer wedding band then engagement ring.

    Mine will be on my finger. My wedding band is designed to sit so it fits my ring so it’s going to go on top of my engagement ring and then I’m going to flip the rings around so the wedding band moves to the bottom just before pictures.

    I don’t plan on having it. My rings don’t exactly match, so I’ll just be wearing my wedding band.
