i have a set and i put the engagement part on first, then the wedding band. Should it be the other way around?

Your wedding band should be closest to your heart. Traditionally, the engagement ring is only worn closest to your heart if your spouse is deceased. I'm a wedding photographer, I've heard this question many times, lol.

I think that it is awesome that you can say that you have two dads, it is your wedding and you should do what you want to...I think your idea of half / half is super cute because they both were there i don't think that you should chose one or the other you need to incorporate both or someones feelings are going to get hurt you have two dad's and that is ok just be sure that they both know that you love them and everything will turn out right.

If they were gifts they're yours.  Only if if was an engagement ring should you give it back if you didn't marry him after he asked & you said "yes".  That would technically be a verbal contract.\n\nKeep it.

it's depends on your culture baby.. the western culture put the wedding ring on the left hand... but in most of the eastern culture, they put it on the right hand...

Depends on how long ago you had it done. If you take out the one that's messed up and let it close and redo that ear it should come out ok. That happened to my lil sis about 2 weeks ago and she got hers corrected I don't see why you couldn't do the same thing. Just try not to make the second hole too close to the first or you'll end up making an extra large hole instead of a new one. Good luck!

Assuming that you were all invited I would think it would a breach of etiquette to do that but honestly I don't see a problem with it.  First of all the couple isn't going to know because there are usually so many people at weddings they wouldn't even know that weren't at the actual ceremony. When the bride comes down the aisle she is going to have her eye on one person.......the groom.  I doubt anybody would even notice if you just showed up at the reception.  Secondly for all they know you could have to work or something and could only make it in time to the reception.  If you really don't want to go to the ceremony I wouldn't blame you for just going to the reception and giving the happy couple your well wishes.

How do you feel about him? How old are you? Are you ready for a big commitment? Whatever you decide, don't think that by taking the ring you give yourself to him. You can always give it back if you're uncomfortable becoming more serious with him.

Honestly...I wouldn't do it. Proposing to guy is like having him walk down the aisle while you wait at the alter. I know many people throw out traditions in today's "modern" world but I still wouldn't do it. If you've changed your mind about getting married, talk to him about it first or drop a hint that you wouldn't mind have something sparkly to wear on your ring finger. Proposing to my wife was and still is one of the greatest moments of my life and I would hate to have that moment taken away.\n\nAlso...his buddies will NEVER let him live it down ;o)

I think it would be more romantic to get married on a day that has personal significance to a couple, instead of a day that is more generally symbolic like V-Day. Plus, if you marry on a day that you both find super special (like the day you met or the first day you both kissed), you get an extra present! LOL. You miss out on a V-Day gift if your anniversary is the same day!!!

I know this is tacky, but buddy, the only way not to lose out on the big bucks is to keep it for the next one. Then, just buy a different setting next time so it's not the same ring. You have to look at it for what it is - a rock. A thing. A possession. A cold material item. It does not represent anything anymore. It's just something you own. That's worth a lot of money. You'd be silly to throw that money away. Just don't tell a soul. Not your mom. Not your ex. Not your buddies. No one. This is your secret. And don't you feel bad for a minute, because it does not mean you won't love the next person any less. It just means you're smart with money. Do you think I go out and buy all new lingerie every time I get a new boyfriend? Sheets? Do you think I buy a new bed? Hell no. It's not realistic. It's too expensive. Use the diamond for the next setting. It's actually kind of beautiful and poetic. You gave your heart/diamond away once. It was returned to you, and you'll always be affected by that. But that doesn't mean you won't give your heart/diamond away again, and when you do, it won't be of any less value because you've loved once before.

At my wedding we used some groomsmen as ushers and then we had a few extras that weren't. I think it just depends on what you want. If you don't use your groomsmen then I think that's fine. It's your wedding so do it up the way you want to. Good luck!

Nope.  I think your rings should be something you and your husband like.  After all, if you don't like it, you won't want to wear it.  The same goes for him.  You should be proud to show off your beautiful wedding bands, and believe me, people will ask to see them!!  \nThe important part is the symbolization that the rings hold.  They are a reminder of the commitment you and your new husband will have.  They should be a reminder that doesn't bring ANY bad thoughts to his mind or your mind!  \nRemember, even though you and your husband will be married, you're still individuals with different tastes in some things.  I feel like non-matching wedding rings remind you of your unity as a couple and your own personal uniqueness at the same time.

one is your engagement ring and the other is going to be your wedding ring.maybe sooner then later.

That's a damn good question. I'm married and ALWAYS wear my ring. I have friends who are married, but don't wear theirs. I've asked and always get some limp dick excuse about not wanting to ruin it or they don't like wearing jewelry (but they wear other rings and bracelets).\n\nDoesn't make sense to me either!

Engagement ceremonies vary tremendously depending on cultural backgrounds and traditions. You'll have to be more specific.

The rules to broken engagements....you break it off you give him the ring back, he breaks it off or does something that breaks the "rules of engagement" you keep the ring.  Yours for instance is the second...so that ring is all yours.  I say pawn it, exchange it for something you want, whatever it is totally yours.
