When to Start Wearing Wedding Rings: The Timing Dilemma of Love Between Couples – Purchase Date, Registration Date, or Ceremony Date?

2017.04.09 published

When is the right time to wear wedding rings?

Once the proposal is made and the decision to get married is finalized, couples usually go to buy their wedding rings, which will be a symbol of their love.

When do you all start wearing your wedding rings on the left hand's ring finger? Or when do you plan to wear them?

The options include,

◇ ① From the day they are bought (the day they arrive at home) ◇

◇ ② From the day of registration ◇

◇ ③ From the day of the wedding ceremony ◇

I think these are the three most common timings.

Therefore, many brides must be wondering, "When is it really correct to start wearing them??" It can be a bit confusing to know from which timing to start wearing the wedding ring...

There is no correct answer; it's fine to start at a timing you both like!

You may already understand this, but...

The timing to start wearing wedding rings varies from person to person, and there is no right or wrong answer.

So, what reasons do newlywed couples have for starting to wear their wedding rings at their chosen timing?

Pattern ① From the day of purchase, when they arrive at home ♡

Couples who start wearing their wedding rings from the day they decide on the design and purchase them (the day they arrive at home or the day they pick them up) often have reasons like,

"I can't wait until the ceremony!" or "Since we bought them, I want to wear them right away and bask in the happiness!"

Although there is a possibility that the rings might get scratched or dirty before the wedding, they can be polished right before the ceremony.

In that case, it would be a good idea to confirm the cleaning options when purchasing.

Pattern ② From the day of registration, when they officially become a couple ♡

Some couples start wearing their wedding rings from the day they submit their marriage registration, considering this day as their wedding anniversary.

In this case, they would want to take a photo with their newly signed marriage registration while wearing their rings on the left hand.

Additionally, if they start wearing their wedding rings the moment they officially become a couple, it seems they can start their newlywed life feeling excited and happy about taking their spouse's last name!

Of course, if there is a gap of time until the ceremony, it's recommended to get them cleaned just before the event.

Pattern ③ From the day of the ceremony when the rings are exchanged ♡

Finally, there's the most popular timing, which is to start wearing the wedding rings from the day of the ceremony when they exchange rings.

Many couples likely register their marriage before the wedding day, but some choose to keep their wedding rings safe until the ceremony for reasons like,

"Although we are legally a couple, I want to wear our wedding rings as an acknowledgment of our marriage from the moment everyone we love sees us as a couple."

That’s a really wonderful and happy reason, isn’t it?

Although you have to wait until the wedding day to wear the ring after purchasing it,

it would be incredibly happy to have your partner put the brand-new ring on your finger in front of the guests.

Start wearing your wedding rings at a timing you both love ♡

How was that? ♡ The timing for wearing wedding rings is genuinely free!

It’s perfectly fine to wear them from the moment you buy them! It's also okay to wear them on the registration day or to wait until the wedding day! ♡

Discuss with your partner and wear your wedding rings, the proof of your eternal love, at the timing you both cherish. ♩
