Wedding Ceremony: Where Do You Put Your Engagement Ring During The Ceremony?

Q:

During the ceremony, what do you do with your engagement ring?

A:

A simple, but common question! There are no etiquette rules regarding where to place your engagement ring, but the easiest way is to place it on your right hand during the ceremony and smoothly move it over to the left after. Be sure to keep your wedding band on the bottom (closest to your heart), and your engagement ring on top. If your ring's been soldered, you can have the entire thing placed on your finger -- the work has been done for you in this case! And it's always good to practice this move during the rehearsal, so it's a smooth transition for the real deal.
