Wearing Engagement Ring Before Marriage: How Long? by solid3(m): 6:03pm On Jan 15, 2013
I came across a guy advising a lady to remove and throw away an engagement ring she's been wearing for 2 years without walking down the isle.

Now, I've got few questions:

Whats the normal time range a lady is expected to wear an engagement ring, as in, a guy proposes and d lady accept and he presented a ring to signify seriousness.

Secondly how long is too long to wear an engagement ring?

No fixed duration as long as the marriage plans is not revoked. It all depend on the parties to determine how long...

I won't advise anybody to wear an engagemt ring for over a year,what is the essence of wearing it for long as if its a wedding ring. If there are no immediate plans on ground for the wedding then I don't see the need of wearing it even.

It can take anytime provided the guy is not using it to tie the lady down only for him to change his mind later on.

3 to 4 months, at most 6 months. Or she can accept the ring and don't wear it at all until the real thing comes.

No fix time to stop wearing it,buts its better to propose to a lady when plans for marriage is closeby,and in top gear. Most people do that to secure the lady,and keep her hopeful even in hopeless situation.

[size=13pt]Until the marriage takes place. On the wedding day, they get wedding rings. That's what I would do anyway.

No amount of time is too long. Life happens. Finances, personal issues, etc., are all capable of offsetting a wedding. People should wed when they are ready and not due to pressures from family and friends.[/size]

shut up, stop talking nonsense... Only village girls wear engagement rings? That sounds ridiculous... Who'd want to marry a village girl and bother with proposing with a ring?

You can be engaged in your mind... Which kind talk be that? You can as well get married in your mind now so after the church service flush your wedding ring down the drain.


@Topic, a guy who isn't ready for marriage anytime soon shouldn't put an engagement ring on a lday's finger. Shikena

for me, the most reasonable time is between six months to one year max cos there should be a marraige plan and date for the guy to propose
Re: Wearing Engagement Ring Before Marriage: How Long? by dayokanu(m): 7:17pm On Jan 15, 2013
So why didnt the lady just ask the guy when she was accepting the engagement ring for the wedding date?

If the date is not agreed she shouldnt take the ring

WHY DE HELL SHOULD A MAN BE COMMITTING FORNICATION FOR 4 YEARS? undecided THE MAX SHOULD BE 1YEAR BUT PREFERABLY 3-6 MONTHS, I NEVER ALLOWED MY SISTERS WEAR ENGAGEMENT RING, SO WHAT THEY DO IS WEAR IT IF THE GUY IS COMING AND LATER PUT IT IN THE WALLET. tongue tongue cheesy

Is there any real purpose of an engagement ring when we all know it can still be taken off and be replaced by another from someone else?
Re: Wearing Engagement Ring Before Marriage: How Long? by NeuroBoss(m): 7:27pm On Jan 15, 2013
As long as it takes the man who gave you to say he's READY to take you. That ring may mean PROBATION. So if you've got one, rally the man!
Re: Wearing Engagement Ring Before Marriage: How Long? by Nobody: 7:32pm On Jan 15, 2013
You wear the engagement ring when his proposes.
The wedding band when you get married.
Then you can wear it together forever or you can just wear the wedding band by itself. That is up to you.

Two years is too long na. The guy that engaged her is wickid. 3 - 6 months is more like it, depending on the guys purse but not more than 6 months. So as not to bring shame to the lady.
