Do rings come in pairs so you wear one when you're engaged and then the other when you're getting married? Do you have to take of your engagement ring off on the wedding day? Do guys wear an engagement ring?

Ok to start, you wear your engagement ring before your married. Then when you get married you add the wedding ring. You can wear them both. so no you dont have to take off your engagement ring on the wedding day. And lastly typically guys dont wear engagement rings, it isnt exactly common, but there is no law saying that they cant. Hope i helped!

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.

An engagement ring from some-one close to you or some-one you wanted to marry?

Price doesn't matter.  You can find a beautiful ring for a reasonable price.  Just don't sacrifice quality.  My engagement ring is gorgeous and suits me to a tea, and my fiance only spent $2000 on it.  I know some women who's rings cost more.  I say just pick something out that says "her" all over, and you can't lose.  Or if you're really not sure - buy a single solitaire ring to use for the engagement, then go back with her and the two of you can pick something together.  Engraving?  I think it's nice, but not necessary.

A promise ring can be worn on any finger on the left or right hand, although ring fingers are far preferred. Most often it is the left ring finger, but due to engagement confusion, the right ring finger is most acceptable.

I believe that a promise ring is more for younger people to give as a lot of promises get broken.  An engagement ring is presented when you ask a woman if she will accept your hand in marriage.

The act of saying vows is not considered the consummation in marriage.  It is not until after the vows are said and the couple have intimate acts that consummation occurs.  This is generally why if a couple says "I Do" then don't sleep together for whatever reason, they can see about having the marriage dissolved if it was not meant to be.  However, after the marriage is consummated, to dissolve the formal ties that connect the couple, divorce is the option in that case.  The phrase "Tying the Knot" has to do with ceremonial origins where the bride and grooms hands were tied with rope during the ceremony.  Today, you may see priest place a sash around their hands rather than rope.  Through the years, "Tying the Knot" since associated with wedding ceremonies, has changed meaning.  Today we tell someone that we are "Tying the Knot" as a way of telling them that we are to be married.  It has nothing to do with the actual wedding ring.  The ring itself is a separate item that symbolizes the bond in marriage.

im 15 and my bf is 18, we've known eachother for 3 years, and have been best friends all the way through.  recently he gave me a promise ring, not engagement, but just to show that what we have is real, and we think we are to young, but when the time comes (if it does) then when im out of highschool, and we are both ready we'll move on to the bigger and better *engagement*.  wait, and think seriously how much you love him, we are teenagers, we dont know what we want, and we havent faced the real world as adults yet.

Is it similar to a wedding ceremony? If so then just go by that. If it is different you could still use one of them. I think that is really nice.

You're going to be wearing this ring for a long, long time, hopefully for the rest of your life, so for heaven's sake, get what you like! A good bet is to think about the jewelry you wear now, the stuff you find yourself grabbing again and again because you prefer it and it flatters you (watch, earrings, necklaces, etc.) If it's mostly yellow gold, then that's probably what you should choose in a wedding ring.\n\nAnd, no, there's no reason in the world that your two rings need to match. You are two different people, with two different styles, which is a great thing, and should be celebrated. (by the way, my fiancee chose an antique styled yellow gold band, and I chose a more modern styled white gold one. we have the same psalm inscribed in our rings, which unites our two very different styled rings.)\n\nGood luck, and congrats!

I'm not sure why he would even bring it up if he hasn't found the ring yet. I think he is feeling you out to see how you feel about it.In my opinion if he wanted to do it right he would have said nothing, found a ring and then proposed. I think he's scared you don't want too. No he has not technically proposed.

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.

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.

please its just a ring, i would much rather have a happy marriage, than a bad marriage and a big ring, get whatever you can afford and do it.....\nps whats the point of being engaged if u do not want to be married?

You can propose at anytime. That doesnt mean you have to get married a week after getting engaged. The marriage could be a year or two after, depending on what you both decide. Juz make sure getting married is what you want before getting married. Or you could simply buy a "promise" ring now and get an engagement ring later on. Good luck.

Well I guess it depends of each girl, but for me: A solitaire, silver and princess cut. I guess it also depends if  you are going to buy the engagement ring separately than the wedding set. If the engagement ring is going to be part of the wedding set then yes a bit flashy would be nice, but if the wedding set is separate then the engagement ring, then the engagement ring should be simple. I hope that made sense! \n\n~browneyes~

It means she's proving to the world that you are separated for right now, but she's not ready to give it up completely.  Her engagement ring still tells people that she is off limits, but not completely off the market.  The fact that she replaced the wedding ring with the heirloom is probably just for her benefit.  No one else knows that its not her wedding right, but she knows.  Its her little way of being separate from you.  The good news is, that means shes still hanging on to you.  Not, to say you will defiantly get back together, but if she wasn't seriously considering it, she wouldn't be wearing any of your diamonds.  Best of Luck to you... give her some time, it may be all she needs to work it out.
