What about the groom's ring?

Question

Can the groom wear his engagement ring while he's engaged, if it doesn't have the wedding band on it yet? Is that against tradition or what?

Lol I'm new at this.

Answer 1

18, engaged, and you don't know that men don't wear engagement rings.

DON'T GET MARRIED, PLEASE!!!

Answer 2

Men traditionally do not wear engagement rings - they generally give a ring to the woman when they propose. If a man has an engagement ring, I suppose he would follow the same tradition as the woman - wear the engagement ring until the marriage, then wear the engagement ring and wedding band together. A wedding ring is a separate piece of jewelry from an engagement ring.

Answer 3

if he wants to wear an engagement ring he can. the only people who can tell you if its right or not is you and him. it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks but you and him.

Answer 4

Traditionally, men do not wear engagement rings at all.  If you chose to give him one, then I guess it should be work just as a woman's engagement ring.  She should wear her ring-worn on the left ring finger, alone, before the wedding, then, WITH the wedding band afterward.  I think that would be just fine.

Answer 5

The chances of your marriage lasting a lifetime are much greater if you wait until you are about 25.

99% of marriages under the age of 20 end in divorce within 10 years..

I think you should be your own woman for a few years.

Edit: Ok, in answer to your question, traditionally men don't wear engagement rings, so if your groom has one at all, that's against tradition. As for other traditions, traditionally there is no s*x, no shacking up before the wedding, either.  Have both of those been kept?

I would suggest about six months of premarital counseling before getting married.  It will make a WORLD of difference.
