Does the engagement ring stay on your finger when the wedding ring is put on? Or do you leave the engagement ring off?

Ok, everybody is only giving you half an answer. You do take it off, but traditionally you put it on your right hand for the ceremony then move it back to the left afterwards. That way you don't have to worry about losing it or anything.

Traditionally, at least in some European countries, the wedding ring is the same as the engagement ring and changes its status through engraving and the change of the hand on which to wear it. If the wedding ring is different from the engagement ring, the question whether or not the engagement ring should be worn during the ceremony leaves a few options. The bride may wear it on her left ring finger and have the groom put the wedding band over it. She may also wear it on her right ring finger, although that may surprise the groom. The bride may also continue wearing the rings on different hands after the wedding – this may prevent the engagement ring from scratching and scuffing. Another option is to have the main bridesmaid keep the ring during the ceremony – there are a variety ways to keep it: in a pouch, on a plate, etc. After the ceremony, the ring can be placed back on either the left or the right hand.

No take your engagement ring off, the wedding ring goes on first, you can pop your engagement ring back on at the reception, have a wonderful day, and may I wish u many happy years together.

Usually you go in bare handed and replace the engagement ring afterwards, but there is no hard and fast rule.
Most women choose to wear the wedding ring nearest to their heart and the engagement ring after.
It also depend on whether you intend ever removing the rings, whether for work, washing up or washing your hands etc

It is up to you, i took mine off but know people who left it on. I took it off for the silly reason that my husband could put the wedding ring on a bare finger, but thats just me. Its your big day, do whatever you want (except snog the best man) Have a lovely day xx
