..............how does it work?....?

The difference between a wedding ring and an engagement ring is a big one.

The engagement ring is the main ring, the expensive one. You present your girlfriend an engagement ring while you're proposing to her.

The wedding ring is something you both wear once you're officially married. They don't cost much, and shouldn't be too hard to pick out.

For both rings, I strongly urge you to look online. The reason? Because you can save up to 50% online on the exact same rings you would buy in-store.

I bought my now wife a James Allen engagement ring and we were both very happy with the purchase - me because I got her a gorgeous ring for much less, and her... well, she just LOVES her ring. It cost me a little under $3,000, but I saw a very similar ring in-store for more than $5,000. Plus, It came with free delivery and a full cash-back guarantee.

Seriously, before you buy, look online. You'll thank me that you did.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!

The engagement ring is the the ring a man gives a women he proposes marriage to her. The wedding ring is the ring you get given on your wedding day.

You wear the engagement ring only on your finger until your married they you have many choices. You can wear the engagement ring or not to the ceremony then if you do you can wear it on the right hand or on the left ring finger and put it in front of the wedding ring (the way you will always wear it afterwards) to wear permanently.

Some people forgo the engagement ring for various reasons, like the woman doesnt like jewelery much or financial reasons. At the end of the day you can really do whatever you like though.
