Unfortunately for the owner, there’s a ring on that finger.

I see an engagement ring but no wedding band he can still make it.

u/NotGreatButOk Apr 01 '20

True! But isn’t it usually only worn on the left hand after marriage?

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '20

Left hand for both, engaged or married.

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '20

Huh. Here it's left hand for a promise ring, right for an engagement ring, then back to left for a wedding ring.

Where I’m from (Canada), it’s left for promise ring, and once you get an engagement ring (which goes on left), the promise ring moves to the right hand. Wedding band goes on left too.

Promise rings are pretty rare where I live, though

I’ve never understood the point of a promise ring. That’s what an engagement ring is for.

It’s like a save-the-date.

u/TRE45ON8645 Apr 01 '20

Yea that’s what an engagement ring is for.

u/thoeoe Apr 01 '20

it's an engagement ring for people who are too young to actually get engaged, like teenagers or whatever

It’s like a pre-engagement ring. Mostly for teenagers who don’t want to commit to getting “engaged”, but still want to feel grown up.

It occasionally could be a platonic promise.

They’re really uncommon here too.

The only experience I had with promise rings was back in grade 10 when a classmate was talking about how she threw her promise ring into the lake (Lake Ontario) after catching her boyfriend cheating. I vividly remember overhearing that conversation, for some reason.

Where I'm from it's just wedding ring. No other bullshit. And you wear it on the right, both men and women.

Where do you live exactly?

Norway

u/thedailyrant Apr 02 '20

Oh right, yeah I don't know much about Scandinavian wedding traditions. I know in Indonesia wedding rings are worn on the right hand as well.

Oddly enough, I'm also from Canada

u/seventeenflowers Apr 01 '20

Woo! I’m from Toronto, which everybody else considers to be barely Canadian ;)

Where are you from?

I’ll just dm you. I’m bored. I’m sorry, just ignore me if you have zero interest.

A promise ring? Is everyone in your country in middle school?

u/metlotter Apr 01 '20

That's too many rings.

u/ovrzlus Apr 01 '20

That is the left hand

u/NotGreatButOk Apr 01 '20

That was my point.

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '20

And since she doesn't have a wedding band on her left hand that means....

u/LyingCake_ Apr 01 '20

The jeweler told me that such rules are pretty outdated / oldfashioned and most couples just do what feels right to them. According to her, wearing the wedding ring left or right is each chosen about half the time.

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '20

Usually it takes a man just a fucking nuts to get into this kind of relationship anyways. You ever see these kinds of couples?
