Sure! It's your wedding - you can do anything you like!
You might have to adjust your ceremony to skip over the rings bit, though. Just a thought.
The father of the bride and groom can give the wedding gift to them the day of the wedding at home or, they can leave the gift on the gift table at the wedding reception. However, if it is of cash value it is better to give the bride and groom the money before the wedding.
If there is a Ring Bearer (generally a young male child) he will come down the aisle before the bridesmaid and stand by the bride and then she will take the groom's wedding band off the small silk pillow and put it on the groom's finger while saying her vows to him. If there is no Ring Bearer then it is the Maid of Honor that holds the groom's wedding band. The Best Man is the one who will hold the wedding band for the bride and give it to the groom when he is saying his vows to his wife-to-be.
The groom chooses his closest friend to be his best man and the best man is there to wait on the groom before the wedding. The best man helps the groom get dressed and is sure to have the brides wedding band in his own pocket to give to the groom at the wedding ceremony. The groom is also there to calm down the groom if he is nervous.

The groom can give his best man his gift while they are getting ready for the wedding which is generally at the groom's parent's home or the groom's own home.

It goes back centuries ago when the young woman's parents would have a dowry to give to the groom to be. It's simply protocol (after all the bride's parents foot nearly the whole bill!) Usually because the brides parents are the ones paying for the wedding or at least the majority of it and are considered the true hosts of the wedding and because of the ladies first rule.
Pay promptly and give him a thank you card.
Traditionally, The groom's parents pay for the rehearsal dinner, the wedding flowers, the honeymoon, and the alcohol for the reception.
Be the bigger person and use your wedding etiquette. Just because he dropped the ball does not mean that you have to.
Traditionally, when someone proposes marriage, they typically present an engagement ring rather than both an engagement ring and a wedding band. The engagement ring is given at the time of the proposal, symbolizing the commitment to marriage. It is worn on the ring finger of the left hand. The wedding band is exchanged during the wedding ceremony itself. Both partners typically exchange wedding bands as a symbol of their commitment to each other. The wedding band is often a simpler and more understated ring compared to the engagement ring. However, customs and preferences can vary, and some individuals choose to give both the engagement ring and wedding band at the time of the proposal. Others may opt for a bridal set, which includes both rings designed to complement each other. Ultimately, the choice depends on personal preferences and cultural or regional traditions.
