A long time ago, prospective hubbys gave animals to the potential in-laws in return for the hand of their daughter in marriage. Of course you didn't give the bride a chicken for her hand because you automatically provided the meals anyway. Now you give the gift of an engagement and wedding band as a promise to love and keep her, etc, etc, etc. If the union breaks up, that gift stays with the now soon to be ex-bride. It depends who broke up with whom. If the guy gave you the ring and he caused the breakup, it is yours. However, if it is an heirloom set of rings from his family and you did not marry, it is more right to return the set to him. In fairness, I would also consider if he is still paying on the rings and if so, return the rings.
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.
No, he doesn't wear his wedding band until after the wedding.
It's always upon you and the design of the Engagement Ring and the Wedding Band. But I think that you should wear the wedding ring/band first and after that Engagement Ring because Wedding is more special day in your life and it will always stay closer to your heart.
The engagement ring is typically worn closest to the hand, followed by the wedding band. The engagement ring is usually given before marriage, while the wedding band is exchanged during the wedding ceremony. However, cultural and personal preferences may vary, and some people may choose to wear their wedding band closer to the hand.
Yes, so that the wedding band can be placed closest to the heart. 2. The engagement ring during the ceremony is placed on the brides right finger. Once the wedding band is given the bride then moves the engagement ring back to the left
* Generally an Eternity Ring is worn on another finger where it is on it's own and shows up more than crowded in with an engagement ring and wedding band, but there are no rules that you can't wear it on your wedding band finger and it should go below the wedding band and engagement ring.
The wedding ring goes behind the engagement ring, closest to the heart.
No, at least not until the wedding band is on first.
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.
No, usually engagement rings have no stones.
