In the UK it is usual for the wedding ring to be placed on the finger first, followed by the engagement ring. This appears a little strange when one considers that the engagement ring is given first and is usually the more expensive of the two rings - although there is a trend here for diamond set wedding rings - and would be protected from loss if the wedding ring were to be worn after the engagement ring

Tradition says that a married woman should wear her wedding band on the inside of her finger. In other words, it goes on first followed by the engagement ring on the outside. Many say it's because the wedding band should be the one closest to the heart, but there's a practical reason, too.
