She doesn’t know? What the heck is wrong with her? What girl doesn’t know this?

This is stupid. “So you give an engagement ring, then on the wedding give the girl a wedding band.” No duh!

And no, you don’t have to have them joined together.

An engagement ring is generally given when the man proposes. At the wedding the bride and groom will exchange wedding bands. Some women like to have their engagement and wedding band soldered later to keep them together. Some couples don’t use an engagement ring at all and just prefer exchanging wedding bands at the ceremony. It’s all up to the happy couple

i wouldn’t get them connected it gives you more flexibility

You give her an engagement ring. You also purchase a wedding band. On the day of the wedding, she switches her engagement ring to her right hand and you place the wedding band on her left ring finger.

You don’t necessarily have to do it this way, but some do. The options are endless, it’s just up to what you guys want to do. Do whatever you guys feel is right. It’s your wedding, no one elses!

You’ve got it right. When you’re ready to propose, you use an engagement ring, that’s the fancy one. But there’s no rule that says it has to be diamonds. Go with what you like. If she loves diamonds, then do that, but if she’d prefer a blue sapphire or a red ruby, go with that instead. Mine is an emerald.

And then at the wedding, she will wear the engagement ring on her right hand, so that you can slip the band in it’s proper place on her left ring finger. The band is much plainer than the engagement ring, though if you like, you can have one with designs or jewels set into it.

After the wedding, she’ll take the engagement ring and slide it back onto the proper finger, on top of her new wedding band.

You could get them soldered together if you really want to, but there’s no need for it, and I don’t think it’s typically done. They either just sit next to each other, or you can buy a wedding band and engagement ring that are part of a set, and made to fit together. Personally, I don’t like sets, because all the ones I’ve seen, I haven’t cared for the desing. I like plain wedding bands, and sets tend to have diamonds set into them.

For your own wedding band, you can look around at matching ones for you and her, or you can each pick out your own style. If you like silver and she likes gold, then her’s can be gold and yours silver. My ring is white gold, and my husbands is stainless steel.

I hope that helps!

The engagement & wedding ring scenario is the most common in the U.S. but doesn’t have to be the way. I never wore rings so I didn’t like the idea of wearing two. My husband and I had our rings made. I started wearing mine right away. He waited until right before the wedding to start wearing his. Rather than exchanging rings during the ceremony, we had our rings blessed.
I was told that in some (or at least one) European countries that the woman often gets a single ring that she wears on her right hand while she’s engaged and moves it to the left had when she gets married.
My parents just exchanged plain gold bands on their wedding day.

There is no right or wrong way to do it. Figure out what works for you. It only has to make you and your girlfriend happy.

You’re right. However, not a lot of women get the rings soldered together afterward - in fact, some who do then regret it, because there are times in the future a wife wants to wear a wedding band alone.

you give her a lovely big diamond ring when you get engaged,when you get married you both if you want exchange gold wedding rings.If not than just the bride gets the ring & no you dont join them up later.Later in your marriage you could get her an eternity ring to also go on her wedding finger.So it would go engagment ring,wedding ring & then finally eternity ring.I have seen women wearing rings like that & it looks really nice.

You have it right. The engagement ring when you become engaged and then the two of you exchange wedding rings during the wedding ceremony. Just a little tip, it is awfully nice to have some sweet words engraved on the inside of the wedding ring.
