There is no difference, Catholics are Christians, if you are asking about the difference between a particular protestant wedding and a Christian Catholic wedding, then you should ask that.
Engagement Ring This is the ring you give when you propose. It usually has a center stone (often a diamond) and is meant to be a big moment piece — think sparkle, surprise, and “will you marry me?” Wedding Ring (or Wedding Band) This one comes later — you exchange it during the wedding ceremony. It’s typically simpler (like a plain gold or diamond band) and meant to be worn every day, alongside the engagement ring. So… What’s the Difference? Timing: Engagement ring = before the wedding. Wedding ring = during the wedding. Design: Engagement rings are usually flashier. Wedding bands are more low-key. Tradition: Most people wear both rings together after they’re married — engagement ring on top, wedding band closer to the heart.
there is no difference
Engagement rings are traditionally given to the lady upon proposal and are usually larger often featuring a centre diamond or gemstone with smaller side stones. Wedding rings, however, are worn by both the male and female and are exchanged on their wedding day. Generally, wedding rings are simpler bands, sometimes the female band features smaller gemstones and are often designed to fit the engagement ring.
The nuptials are the ceremony or vows and the wedding is the party.
well the difference is that a marriage is something simple and you don't have a big ''ol'' party and wedding is a bug white dress a big party. That's the difference between wedding and marriage.
I believe you are asking if you can give just the engagement ring and not the whole wedding set. Please clarify the question, if this is not the case. Yes, you can give just an engagement ring. Usually the man proposes with an engagement ring and then the wedding band is worn after the wedding along side the engagement ring.
The wedding ring goes behind the engagement ring, closest to the heart.
No, there is no tradition requiring an engagement present in addition to the wedding gift. Just check out her wedding registries and get her something within your budget that is on the registry.
Sometimes the engagement ring and wedding band come together, but whether or not it does or doesn't you can certainly show her the wedding band.
Gifts are not customary at an engagement party because they are expected at the wedding and etiquette dictates that those who are invited to an engagement party should be invited to the wedding. If you choose to give a gift you can but it is not required or expected.
== Answer == see onceuponatragedy.com she is taking peoples engagement rings for an art installation in NYC in December http://www.jewelocean.com - Some people put it away after they are married, some decide to use it again for a wedding ring, some take it to a jeweler to have it altered into a wedding ring (another gem, an inscription...) and some, like myself, just have the engagement ring on one hand and the wedding ring on the other! I enjoy them both and although the wedding ring is the symbol of the legal bond between us, the engagement ring is still a symbol of the love between us.
