Once I buy an engagement ring do I need to buy a wedding ring?

Question

Do I buy her a Wedding ring prior to the Wedding?

Answer 1

Yes. The engagement ring is worn immediately, and the wedding ring goes on her finger during the wedding.

If you plan to wear a wedding ring, yours will also need to be purchased before the wedding.

Any of these rings is entirely optional, but all three are common.

Answer 2

What is traditional is that when you propose to your girlfriend and ask her to be your wife, you give her an engagement ring (which today is usually a diamond solitare) but does not have to be. Then for the actual wedding you and she will buy round rings called wedding bands for the actual ceremony. The bride puts her engagement ring on her right hand for the ceremony so that groom can slip wedding band onto third finger of her left hand --the ring finger---supposed to an old tradition has a vein running straight to the heart---, most important on first, then bride will replace engagement ring on top of band. Sometimes and I like this, the diamond (engagement ring) will come in a set with a matching band and you can get both at the same time and will look good as they were made to go together. Other wedding bands are usually simple circles of gold or silver or platinum. Usually brides and grooms go together to pick our each others bands. Most men do not prefer diamonds in their wedding bands, but some do.

Answer 3

When you are ring shopping there are a lot of options. Sometimes you can get a wedding set that includes the engagement ring and a wedding band that coordinates with the ring. They come together for one price.
A lot of people go shopping for the wedding bands together after getting engaged. If you do this then you may be able to find wedding bands for each of you that match.
You will need to get the bands before the wedding, but you don't need it to propose. In fact you don't even need an engagement ring to propose, but it's always nice to have one!!
Good luck!

Answer 4

i kinda don't understand the question. but i'll take a stab at it. you don't have to buy them really soon. how far away is the wedding? I've been engaged for 1 year and we are going to buy our wedding bands a couple months before the wedding. you have the wedding rings at the ceremony so yes buy them together prior to the wedding. if your asking if you need to have an engagement and wedding ring. maybe. some women like an engagement/wedding ring combo. some are happy with just the engagement ring. or an engagement ring with a plain band. or if your asking if the groom usually pays for the wedding band. yes. you could buy each others. she buys yours and you buy hers.

Answer 5

You don't have to get them both at once. However if you purchase a bridal set, the wedding band and engagement ring will come together. At that point you'd just give her the engagement ring and hold on to the wedding band until the marriage ceremony.

If you are just buying an engagement ring, then you can hold off on getting the wedding band until closer to the wedding date.

Answer 6

You don't have to buy the wedding ring right away, but you should get it before the wedding. The two of you can go together and buy matching rings if you like.

Answer 7

Well yes you need it during the wedding ceremony but you don't have to buy the bands at the same time--in case she says no you don't want to be stuck with the rings especially if you paid for engraving. Typically you buy the engagement ring, propose and at a later date you both go looking for wedding bands.

Answer 8

Yes you should buy the ring like 4 weeks before your big day because it may have to get sized etc. However you do not have to buy one if your just proposing! You should go together to pick out your wedding bands!

Answer 9

Yes, you'll need to use the actual wedding ring, and not the engagement ring, during the actual wedding ceremony

Answer 10

You and your bride will go together to pick out your rings about a month or two before the ceremony. You don't do it on your own when you buy the engagement ring.
