Wearing W-band before the wedding?

[CMM]

I was allowed to try it on once we got it, take a picture and back in the box it went. I can't wait to wear it though...only a few more months.

I didn't wear mine before the wedding. To me, that would defeat the purpose of having a wedding band in the first place.

 

[Beenie]

Nope, but I wanted to

I don't believe in wearing a wedding band BEFORE you are actually married. It comes across like you are pretending to be married.

We bought my wedding band this weekend in Chicago. It's being sized and my fiance will pick it up in Chicago in two weeks. So I won't be tempted to try it on, he's leaving our wedding bands at his parents' house.

I'm really tempted to for when I travel but will probably just wait until after the wedding.

We picked up my wedding band the day of the wedding (or maybe the day before), so no, I didn't wear it beforehand.

I wore mine out to dinner one night, it was exciting!

 

[Contessa]

It's a wedding band.

Are you married yet?

It's a symbol of your union together as a couple, so if you want a direct answer, mine would be NO.

DH and i didn't wear our bands until after we were married. he didn't even try his on until a couple days before the wedding, and we discovered it was too big lol.

i also think it's strange when people wear their e-ring before even being proposed to...

 

[whoops]

I would say no because then it seems to merge into your engagement ring. Not sure if that makes sense but it loses it's identity as a "wedding band". I think the wedding band is much more symbolic than the engagement ring. I know you are really excited to wear the band but just hold out and it'll be even more special when you get to wear it permanently!

My engagement ring isn't here yet but we've already picked out my wedding band. When I order the wedding band and pick it up, that will be the only time I wear it until the actual day of the ceremony. My bf and I also plan on having them engraved with messages to each other on the inside. Once we each write down what we want the other to inscribe we are going to give it to the jeweler (Neither of us knowing what is written for the other) and then pick each others up when they are ready. So it'll be a surprise on the day of the wedding what we chose to write.

Hey ladies. Its been nice to see all the different comments. My fiance insists I wear my wedding band now, which I am perfectly ok with. We are very non-traditional. My fiance wears is wedding band as well. For him its more like his own engagement ring until the wedding when it will become his wedding band. I feel the same way for my wedding band. For my it still has that symbolism and meaning.

I did for a week or so before, because we had the band soldered to the e-ring, and I didn't want to give the whole thing up.

 

[alliemia]

i didn't.
i'd have felt stupid to be out with a wedding band on and not actually married. the message i wanted to convey was that i was engaged. wedding ring is for the wedding, IMO.

 

[Sass]

Only if your engagment ring and wedding band double as the one ring, other than that, my answer would be definetely no!

 

[QueenCoco]

To me...if you are looking forward to the wedding for a new peice of jewlery, you need to reevaluate the wedding! lol....
