Do you give both rings that come when you buy it? Both the wedding ring and the one that doesn't have a diamond?
And how long can you be engaged for?
I am proposing to my wife and do not know anything
Is she supposed to buy my wedding band and when?

At proposal time, give the engagement ring. You can then shop for the wedding rings later.
The engagement is agreed between the two of you. When I was engaged we were married in 9 weeks (that was quick - we found a place that had an opening) Otherwise I guess average would be 1 year.

Do you mean you are proposing to your GIRLFRIEND? Anywho, no, you do not give her both rings. You give her the engagement ring only. You can be engaged for as short or as long as you choose. My husband and I were engaged for almost a year. My brother has been engaged for almost 3 years now. Other people propose and get married all within the same month. The other band is the wedding band that you will place on her finger during your wedding ceremony. Go back to the place that you purchased the ring and have them explain it to you. Yes, your future wife will purchase your wedding band. Unless you don't want her to. Then you can pick out and purchase your own if you want to. Its really up to you guys. GOOD LUCK!

You give her the engagement ring when you propose (the one with the big diamond). She wears only that until your wedding day and then you give her the band. She wears the band closer to the hand, with the engagement ring on the outside of the band. It is supposed to symbolize the band being closer to the heart.You can be engaged as long as you both want. There is no limit Yes she is supposed to buy your wedding band any time before the wedding date.

You give her one. The engagement ring, which is the one that traditionally has the diamond. Although, sometimes both of the rings will have diamonds. You can be engaged for as long as you want. And I don't know about the wedding band, sorry. =/ Good luck! =)

When you propose, you give her an *engagement* ring. At your wedding, the two of you will give eachother *wedding bands*. You're supposed to buy the engagement ring without her, then the wedding band purchase will be included in the planning for the actual ceremony.

You hold on to that wedding band until the big day. As far as engagements go, they can be for 2 days or 10 years. That is up to the two of you to decide. As far as your wedding band goes, not all men get one, so if you want one, you need to let her know this. If she's working, she'll buy it, but if she isn't, you could go shopping for it together and you pay for it. She may well pick one that is similar in design to her engagement ring. But if you have any preference, such as diamonds/no diamonds, white/yellow gold/silver/platinum, etc, this could be talked about. But if you do want diamonds, do her a favor and keep in mind of what she can afford. You two are embarking on a new life together. It's best not to start out high in hock. And as far as 'when' she buys it, it will, more than likely, be closer to your actual wedding date. Good luck to the both of you.

If she's your wife, the proposal is a bit late (you're already married).
When you propose, you give your fiance' the engagement ring. During the wedding ceremony, she gets the wedding band to go with it.
You can be engaged as long as it suits the two of you...months, or years if you desire.
If you want a band, she'll get it for you and you'll recieve it during the wedding ceremony.
Are you sure you are ready to marry if you know so little about what's to occur and the typical traditions?

Buy both. When you ask her to marry you, give her only the engagement ring, and hang onto the wedding ring for the wedding. The engagement can be as long as you both decide. She buys your wedding band, but once you are engaged, you can work that out.
Good luck!

1. Only the engagement ring when your propose
2. Wedding and/or engagement at ceremony
3. Be engaged as long as you wish, a year is usually getting a little long
4. She may want to choose her wedding band herself
5. CONGRATS!

I assume you're proposing to your girlfriend and not your wife, or there'd be no reason to propose!
Give her the engagement ring at the time of the proposal and save the wedding band for the ceremony.
