Then there’s the bride who decides not
to wear the Engagement Ring during the Wedding Ceremony but place it on her
finger immediately after signing the Marriage Register.
And then there’s the third option - the bride
does wear her engagement ring during the Wedding Ceremony, but on the right
hand instead of the left.
And the fourth option is to make the
Engagement Ring part of the Wedding Ceremony.
Throughout the Wedding Ceremony, including
the exchanging of the Wedding Rings, the Bride wears the Engagement Ring on the
fourth finger of her right hand. Then just before the Celebrant declares the
couple as husband and wife, he or she may say something like this:
Celebrant:
John, when you first made your commitment to Mary,
the Engagement
Ring symbolized your intentions to your future relationship.
Now that you have exchanged
your wedding vows, please take the engagement ring from Mary’s right hand, and
place it where it belongs – next to the wedding ring.
And then the Celebrant concludes the Wedding Ceremony
with the official declaration.
