QUESTION: Should I wear my engagement Ring at the ceremony and after the wedding do I wear the wedding ring first or the engagement ring first.
Answer You wear your engagement ring on the right hand during the ceremony where the wedding band is put on your left hand. After the ceremony you place your engagement ring on top of your wedding band if you plan on wearing both rings at the same time. Rule of thumb is your actual wedding ring/band should be the ring "closest to your heart" by its position on your finger (first).
