The most important thing is to do what feels most authentic to you and your partner, whether that&rsquo;s temporarily shifting the engagement ring, wearing both rings simultaneously, or exploring another creative solution. For those who want to&nbsp;wear both their engagement ring and wedding&nbsp;band for the ceremony, you have a few options:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On a chain.&nbsp;You can show off your&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grownbrilliance.com\/engagement-rings\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lab grown diamond engagement ring<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;on a chain&nbsp;and wear it like a necklace during the ceremony. This lets you keep your ring finger open for your wedding band while the engagement ring lies close to your heart.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a family member.&nbsp;Some brides entrust their engagement ring to a close&nbsp;family member, like their mother or maid of honor, to hold during the ceremony. This ensures the ring is safely kept until it&rsquo;s time to return it to your left hand.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On your left hand.&nbsp;Of course, you can leave your engagement ring on your left ring finger the entire time and wear the&nbsp;wedding band on top of your engagement&nbsp;ring.
