Wearing the engagement ring

The engagement ring is usually proposed to the bride-to-be by her boyfriend, to make sure the intention that you both will agree and be ready to marry. From the beginning of the engagement until the wedding, to the loved couple, called boyfriend and girlfriend by the other before, the calling will be upgraded to fiance to the man, and fiancee to the woman.

The engagement ring is not a must-to-be to certify engagement. Somebody believe engagement ring is as same necessary as wedding ring, but the fact may be not. Usually wedding ring is required in wedding ceremony, while engagement ring is only an expression of an uprated relationship between two persons. So some practical couples would prefer to use the money that would be spent on a ring towards whatever is more important to their common future.
A bride can wear her engagement ring as soon as she receives it -- unless she or the groom-to-be is still married to someone else and awaiting a divorce. The bride wears the ring on the fourth finger (next to the little finger) of her left hand.
It is believed that left hand represents the lucky bestowed from God, and left hand is connected to your heart. So it makes sense wearing the marriage rings, say, engagement and wedding rings in left hand. In the other side, unmarried ladies wear no rings, or wear rings in the middle finger or the fourth finger of right hand, so not confuse and impede their potential pursuits.
There existed some custom meanings to which finger a lady wears a ring on:

• Index finger, the second finger -- Want to get marry, still single;
• Middle finger, the third finger -- In love;
• The fourth finger -- Engaged or Married;
• Little finger -- I am single.
