The engagement ring is so important. It is the "first ring" given before the marriage ring. It signifies the love he had for her then and wanting her hand in marriage. The wedding band is worn to signify marriage. It is for the world to see that she is a married woman. She wears both very proudly. The first ring....desire....the second ring....commitment!

The engagement ring signifies the intent to marry, and the wedding ring the completion of the promise. Some people dispense with the engagement ring, but most women wear both, and as stated previously they are usually designed as a set and are meant to be worn together.

Because the engagement ring is ROCK and the wedding band is well.... a gold band. Would you have her put the engagement ring in a box? Isn't it supposed to cost 3 mos salary? lol

Traditionally the engagement "guards" the marriage. The engagement band is on the outside "protecting" the wedding band. Symbolicly, the period that a people are engaged before marriage helps to ensure that the marriage will be successful. Besides, what woman wants to leave her "rock" at home?

i am planning to wear my engagement ring and wedding band together because both of them really means a lot to me. i am not wearing my engagement and promise ring now because my fingers seem to have shrunk a little - they are in the box waiting to be resize after the wedding ;)

Mine are a set, so they go together. I sometimes just wear my wedding band, though. I also have a 10th anniversary ring, so sometimes wear all three.

Because they are often sold as sets that interlock with each other, and not many women want to leave that diamond (of other jewel) sitting at home in a box.

Because it is sold as a wedding set and at the ceremony the guy puts both on your finger.
