When are you supposed to give your fiance his wedding ring?

Question

i know this is kind of a stupid question, but hopefully me and my boyfriend will be getting engaged soon and i was wondering if i should be shopping for him a ring right now or not, or does he not get the ring until the actual wedding day?

Answer 1

He gets his wedding band on the wedding day, but you CAN get him an e-ring of his own. something kind of like this;

Steel with gold or silver plate, titanium, or tungsten steel with a black diamond or birthstone would work, as long as it doesn't resemble the wedding band too much.

You can thumbs-down me all you want. I've seen men's engagement rings, and my FH actually wants one!;

Answer 2

Normally during the ceremony!

Answer 3

At the alter on your wedding day.

Answer 4

Traditionally he doesn't get the ring until the wedding day.  Most often the bride and groom shop for their wedding bands together and are presented with them on the wedding day during the ceremony

Answer 5

You both shop for your wedding bands together and you place them on each others finger at the wedding.

Answer 6

You can always pick out wedding rings together like my husband and I did.

Answer 7

Well, my first bit of advice is: don't count your chickens before they hatch.

To answer your question: The guy doesn't get his wedding band until the day of the wedding. Men don't wear engagement rings.

Answer 8

he doesn't get his ring til the actual wedding day. you'll give it to him at the ceremony when the priest or pastor or judge says to put it on him.

but before the wedding, he should go shopping with you to pick it out. you pay for it, but he picks it out.

Answer 9

Just depends on what yall want to do.  But the only ones I've ever seen, he doesn't get his until the day of the wedding.

Answer 10

Wait until he proposes...and as part of your wedding planning, take a trip to jewelry store so that you can decide together what band he would like.  You may have to shop for your wedding band at the same time (unless he bought the entire bridal set initially).

Answer 11

You buy your rings in advance, then you exchange them during the ceremony - and you both wear them from then on.

Answer 12

Traditionally men only receive a wedding ring while the woman receives a wedding ring and an engagement ring. The engagement ring is given any time between the proposal and the wedding. The wedding rings are given as part of the ceremony. That said, you can always make up your own rules... give him an engagement ring too, or no rings at all etc. Just talk to him about it before hand so that you are on the same page.

Answer 13

Before you buy anything, wait until you're engaged.  That's when you really know that both of you are ready to get married.  After that, you have lots of time to shop for it.  He doesn't get it until the actual wedding day.  Most grooms like to pick out their own rings b/c they'll be wearing it forever.  So you would go with him to jewelry shops (or online) and he picks what he wants.  You then order it, keep it at the house, and bring it with you guys to the wedding.  Your maid of honor will hand it to the officiant (or ring bearer, if you have one) when it's time to exchange rings during the ceremony.  Best wishes!

Answer 14

Not until the ceremony.

Answer 15

Have fun shopping for your wedding bands together, all-the-while remembering how special they will be and what they symbolize.  Try to pick out something you will both want to wear forever.

Yes, you will present his band to him during the ceremony and not a moment sooner!  You will never forget the feeling of placing it on his finger.

Sorry, I get nostalgic...

Answer 16

You don't worry about buying his wedding band until you are engaged and a lot of times you go wedding ring shopping together.  That is what my husband and I did but he doesn't get the ring until you exchange the vows on your wedding day.

Answer 17

Traditionally, the man proposes to the woman and offers and engagement ring. The wedding rings are exchanged during the marraige ceremony itself.

Answer 18

That depends on your culture and tradition.

In his family men do not put a ring on until the day of there wedding when the wife slips the ring on his finger. However he does wear a pendant around his neck which symbolizes him engagement.

I did however search for his ring early, that way I found exactly what I wanted to get him and had it far enough in advance that I had it engraved.
