I don't think I'd want to wear any ring if I were weeding. The grass would get stuck in it.

The western tradition of the "ring finger" began with the Greeks, who believed that the fourth finger was connected directly to the heart by a vein called "the vein of love." For this reason, the fourth finger of the left hand has been adopted as the ideal place for the wedding ring.
Generally the bride gets a ring "set" meaning an engagement ring and wedding band that go together and are worn on the ring finger. There seems to be no rule as to which ring is first or second on your finger, it is a matter of taste. Now if the bride and groom choose wedding bands that do not go with the engagement ring it is perfectly acceptable to wear the engagement ring on the right hand. Some women, especially those with active lifestyles, find that the traditional prong-set solitaire can catch on clothes and getting scuffed. To avoid losing or damaging their ring, they opt to wear only the wedding band every day, saving the engagement ring for special occasions. When and how you wear your rings is entirely up to you.

Hmmm I didn't know they had a special ring for weeding...
lol kidding I know you meant Wedding but that was most likely just a typo.
You put the wedding band on first & then the engagement ring....that is, if they are separate rings & not a set soldered together. They are worn on the "ring" finger (next to the pinky) of the left hand.

On your left hand tradition says a vein from this finger runs directly to the heart, putting a ring worn here closer to the heart than a ring worn on any other finger.
Unless its a Claddagh ring...this is on the left hand with the crown pointing away from the (the person wearing the ring) heart.

I'm assuming you mean how to wear your wedding ring and your engagement ring. Traditionally the wedding ring is worn on the fourth finger of the left hand ("closest to the heart"), and the engagement ring is worn on the same finger above the wedding ring.

Weeding ring? When you weed, don't wear any ring. When you wed, wear a wedding ring on your left ring finger.

Wedding rings are conventionally worn on the fourth finger of the left hand. There is an old notion that a vein runs from there directly to the heart.

Was that a Freudian slip? "Weeding ring"
Sorry, it just happened to be an amusing typo. Do you mean which side the band goes on or something else? Some more details would help.
