wearing rings during the ceremony?
Posted: Aug 1, 2008 4:09 AM

just wondering what most people do in the way of finger fashion during their ceremony.

i was always under the impression that you don't wear the e-ring during the ceremony so that you're just wearing the wedding band, but personally i think that's a bit... odd... for lack of a better word.

and while my e-ring is the only ring i wear i on my left hand, i wear a ring on each finger on my right hand - should i not wear my rings for the wedding? they're all either sterling silver or white gold - one my grandma gave me and i wear it on my thumb, another is my class ring on my ring finger, another, my MoH gave me for high school graduation (it's just a silver band with the little Christian fishy symbol all around it), another a friend that i was close to in high school gave me for my birthday, and another is just a little silver one i wear on my pinky. 

im wearing fingerless gloves so i suppose i could take them off for looks, but the thing is, ive worn these rings nearly every day for so long that my hand almost feels naked and weird without them.

what's standard protocol for rings on the big day? 

as it is, i gotta figure out the earring situation too, as i have double holes in each and my left cartilage (which id prefer not to leave open as i just got it done last spring as my graduation present to myself, as FH said he'd shave his head again if i got a tattoo and id like him to have hair for our wedding pics, lol...) - im thinking of just finding some cute plain diamond-y studs for those 3 holes...

I'm kind of a classic wedding day look kind of person.  I'll be going with no rings at all day of, I think. I have one I wear on my right hand, it's a promise ring give by FH back in the day. hehe the other is my e-ring.  I want that one ring, the wedding ring to stand out though. :)  I have double holes in my ears, and i've done what you've done and just found small diamonds (look-alikes anyway) to put in them so it just sorta disapears :)

Im with you i feel naked without my rings. I have two rings on my right hand from FH that are sapphire and blue topaz so im using that as my excuse for my something blue and i have my thumb ring on my left hand that FH gave me as a promise ring that we engraved and as for my ering im going to leave as is and after the ceremony i will turn the rings around properly so i will have the wedding band in the back. 

 Lets not all get caught up in our wedding. Remember we should not only be planning for a our wedding but more so we should be planning for  our marriage. More so then fighting over shades of peach, tuxs, cake flavors and only god knows what else. Because the next morning it is over, guests are gone the flowers have died the cake well lets face it 1/2 of it was tossed out. Cinderella is still a maid, the limo is now a pumpkin And there is life to face ok after wild crazy monkey sex for 7 nights straight, lets not kid out selfs there are priorities After its all gone there's still bills to pay and a job to go back to

I'd say do whatever you WANT to do. It's YOUR wedding. If you want to wear rings on ALL your fingers than go for it!

The original plan was for me to wear my engagement ring and have DH put wedding ring on top of it during the ceremony. BUUUUUUUUUUUt his BM FORGOT my ring at the beach house and so we just ended up using my ering for the ceremony. I was upset at the time but I was just glad that we HAD a ring for the ceremony!

I am planning on wearing my e-ring throughout the ceremony on my left hand and then after the ceremony switching between the wedding and e-ring.  I never take my e-ring off unless it is to clean it and I don't really want to take it off either so that's what I am going to do!!  I do wear a ring on my right hand as well that my parents gave me but I am not sure if I am going to wear that or not.

This is a good question.

On my right hand I have a pinky ring that my son gave me 10 years ago for mothers day, one on my thumb that my Daddy gave me for my birthday before he died, a birhtday ring that FH and my kids bought for my last birthday has a pink saffire and diamonds.

On my left hand my E-Ring and on that thumb is the first ring FH bought me for my first birhtday with him.

They are all so important to me. the only time I take them off is to clean them. 

OH! I have a question for everyone! I wear my watch all the time. I have tan lines on my left wrist! should I wear the watch its very nice it's a Bulova, white gold with diamonds on it.

nanette - Had you imagined wearing all your rings and watch to your wedding or had you not even thought of it? If the thought of walking down the isle without these peices of jewelry makes you feel weird then go for it! Wear what you want! I wore 2 bracelets on my left wrist b/c I wanted it to be seen. It all depends on what YOU want!
