    Actually, your mom is right. The wedding band goes on first. It is supposed to be closet to your heart.Look it up.

    By “first” I presume you mean closest to the palm instead of toward the finger tips. I have heard of the old tradition but I can never remember which is “correct.”
    A quick check of the Internet reveals that the tradition is that the wedding band should be worn on the “inside” of the engagement ring, since that puts it closer to the heart. Since the tradition is that the third-finger-left-hand contains the “vein of love” then this explanation seems to fit, somehow.
    I guess your unmarried mother is right, about this detail anyway.

    This is according to Wikipedia:
    “One interpretation states that the woman wears the wedding ring below the engagement ring, thus making it closer to the heart. Another practice holds that the woman should wear the wedding ring above the engagement ring, thus sealing the atmosphere of the engagement into the marriage. Still others prefer that the wedding ring should be worn alone. Further, modern ring sets in the United States are often marketed as a three-piece set, including the man’s wedding band, the woman’s engagement ring, and a slender band that is mounted to the engagement ring before the wedding, converting it into a single, permanent wedding ring.”
    However, I have always understood it that the wedding ring goes first, then the engagement ring. That’s the way I wear mine.

    The wedding band should be put on first, so that it is closest to you. The engagement ring should be placed on the finger after the wedding ring, so to give you the opportunity to remove it as needed without taking off the wedding band. Diamonds are obviously not as durable and easy to wear while say…moving furniture etc. This is the ‘proper’ way to wear them…but to each their own..yeah?

    The wedding band goes on first then the engagement ring. Strange I know because you have to have removed the engagement ring to get the wedding ring on, which should have been done at the ceremony.
    The reason for this? So the wedding ring is closer to your heart. Also the engagement ring is a newish invention.
    Sorry hun, you are wrong on this one.

    People wear it however they want. What makes you Happy? it depends on how you like it better. Go with what you want. I know that this is the “Correct” way Wedding band then engagement on top. but if it makes you more comfortable wearing the engagement ring then its up to you !

    The reason you wear your wedding rings on your ring finger, left hand, is that there is a vein that goes directly to your heart — supposedly.
    Anyhow, you should wear your wedding ring first so it is closest to your heart. Hope this helps.

    Well everyone is saying that the band goes first then the engagement ring… I plan to wear my engagement ring first and wedding band second because I’ll have my engagement ring on when he puts the wedding ring on my finger.. plus I like the way it looks.

    Its all up to personal preference. I wear mine with the engagement ring on top of the wedding band because the wedding band is a little on the big side and would fall off if I did not.

    The wedding band is supposed to be closer to your heart so it should be on your finger first then the engagement ring behind it. I think you have it right lol

    Wedding band on fist then engagement ring towards finger nail, that way the wedding band is closest to the heart.

    Nope – wedding ring should be the closest to the bottom of your finger – then the engagement ring. Your mom is right :)
