If you have both an engagement and a wedding ring, which goes on where?
Traditionally, the engagement ring goes on the outside. The idea is that the wedding ring goes closer to the heart.
Another reason for doing this is that some people never want to take
their wedding ring off, while they may want to remove their engagement ring for activities where it might become damaged.
During the wedding ceremony, this tradition can cause problems, and there are two main solutions. The first is to switch the rings after the ceremony, while the other is to remove the engagement ring for the ceremony, perhaps transferring it to the other hand, and then replacing it afterwards.
The second is more suitable for people who prefer not to remove their wedding ring.
