Engagement rings.

I've never known a guy to wear an engagement ring...I knew of one that wore an engagement watch, but that was because his fiancee was the one to propose and she did it with a watch instead of a ring.

Ok well then a wedding ring instead, it doesn't matter.

People just buy their wedding rings at some point before their wedding day, but after the proposal. I guess they do it together, unless one of them is a control freak when it comes to the wedding and wants to make all the decisions.

To be honest it varies from man to man. My step dad has an engagement ring but my god-father didn't when he married my god-mother. It depends on whether the man wants one, I mostly see just women with an engagement ring though. Also no, both don't usually buy the two rings before hand, it's usually one ring is brought for the proposal as sometimes it's a surprise.

Oh right really? lol

It is just something I have never really thought about or ever talked baout before.

So really just whoever was proposed to wears the engagement and then when you are married you get two weddings rings to properly tie the knot.

Ok cool.

I think I would like a ring actually, I am a guy btw.

There is just something really cute about it I think and it is such a lovely thing.

Normally in the UK it's the woman who wears an engagement ring, regardless of who proposes. Sometimes she will go and buy her own engagement ring and propose to the guy with it.

Later on when they're going to get married, they buy wedding rings. A woman usually wears her wedding ring along with her engagement ring on her left hand ring finger when married in the UK.

I live in Denmark, where there's not such a tradition for engagement rings. If people wear rings when engaged, they usually just have plain wedding bands on the left hand ring finger, both the man and the woman, and when they get married it gets transferred onto the right hand ring finger (which is a common wedding ring finger placement outside of the UK).

They wear both the engagement and also the wedding ring? Interesting.... I never knew that.

Personally, I would find it cute and really like it if my future fiancé wanted to wear an engagement ring and everyone would then know he was definitely taken.

Yep, you can even get sets where the engagement ring and wedding ring form part of a matching whole, and complement each other when worn together.

Oh...this explains why one of the guys I work with asked if I was married or engaged because of my cubic zircona ring on that finger

Perhaps.

I still haven't decided what on earth I'm going to do about ring placement. We went for a blended approach - I wanted an engagement ring with stones because I'm British, but we both really liked the idea of him wearing an engagement ring because he's Danish.

We bought matching (ish) yellow gold bands for the wedding rings, he wears his, and I have a white gold twisted/braid-effect band with six diamonds on the top. Both on the left hand. Not sure how well the white and yellow gold will sit together, might end up with the yellow gold on the right and have his move to his right hand, and keep my engagement ring on my left.

So unnecessarily complicated. I just fell in love with the white gold ring after we'd decided we wanted yellow gold wedding bands though. That's life!



There's my engagement ring.
