When your beau proposes to you he will present you with an engagement ring, which is usually a white gold or yellow gold band, with a nice big diamond in the middle!... then on your wedding day, when you exchange your vows, you will each give eachother wedding bands, which are usually just plain white or yellow gold, they may have diamonds all they way around. when you put your rings on in the morning, typically, you would put your engagement ring on first, and then your wedding band next to hole it in place! ooooohh marriage! :)

The wedding ring is the one that is more like a band and is the least fancy of a double ring set. The engagement ring is the fancier one with the diamond/s and is meant to impress the girl and her family. The wedding set - is two rings that fit together perfectly and are to be worn together from the time of the wedding on.
I don't think you need a wedding set to get married. Some people get married with just a gold band - mostly in the old days though because they did not have long engagements like people do today.

You have two rings. When the man proposes, usually he has an engagement ring which. Then when you get married the man gives you another ring. The engagement ring is usually bigger because its kind of like if the first ring that the woman sees is big, then there is a better chance that she will say yes. Kinda weird but thats why the engagement ring is always bigger. Even if the size of the ring doesnt matter to the woman, it is how it has been done for a long time.

They are two separate rings. The engagement ring is what you receive when you and your partner become engaged to marry. The wedding band is what you and your partner exchange on your wedding day. Once you are married you wear them together. The engagement ring goes on first on your ring finger left hand and the wedding band goes on right in front of it. Some people choose only to wear a wedding band and not both. And there are also many different styles to choose from. For the best advice go to your local jeweler and speak to them. They are the experts!..Hope this helps =)

It really just depends. Most people do an engagement ring and a wedding band. I just got engaged about a month ago and my fiance' bought the engagement ring and both of our wedding bands. I also own my grandmother's first wedding ring set. She gave me her engagement ring and her wedding ring. I also have a few friends that have only a wedding band. It's up to you! Also remember that the wedding is about you and your groom....nobody else! You do what you two want to do!

Normally there are two rings that fit together when you are married. The engagement ring is what you wear to say you are engaged or some people might think you are already married. My two rings looked awful by themselves so I wore my wedding ring before we got married. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Congratulations!

First, you buy an engagement ring. Usually in the thousands. Next you propose to your lover. If he/she says yes then you get married. While making the wedding plans you both go pick out wedding rings together. Usually in the hundreds. If your lucky you won't get divorced and let it all have been for nothing.

engagement rings are just a waste of money in my opinion.. they are just a fashion statement to those conceited little twits that want them. A wedding band should be good enough and the money saved by not buying an engagement ring can then go towards the honeymoon.

The tradition of a man giving a woman an engagement ring is so that just before the wedding it can be sold to allow the couple to buy things for their new home. You don't have to have one, I haven't got one and don't want one.

Those are 2 different rings. One is given to you as an engagement symbol, when he asks you to be his wife. The wedding ring is the one you wear every day for the rest of your life (usually plain gold, no rock).
