It seems strange that the groom should place the wedding ring on the bride's finger when there's already a prettier ring there. The engagement ring kind of draws away the glamor from the wedding band.

You can, but you don't have to. Some women take their engagement rings off once they are married, and they start going ring-less the day of the wedding. Some women, however, never take their engagement ring off and therefore, during the ceremony either switch the finger it sits on, or switch the hand it sits on.

There is no rule regarding whether you should wear your engagement ring on your ring finger during the wedding ceremony. When I walked down the aisle I ceremoniously removed my engagement ring from my left ring finger and placed it on one of my right hand fingers. I personally felt that the wedding band should replace the engagement ring on the ring finger, that it should be given a place of honor on my left hand. I also thought the two rings would clash or would be overkill when worn on one finger. You could solve this little dilemma by purchasing and wearing a bridal set in which the wedding band and engagement ring are inseparable, thus they are both worn on the same finger.

I certainly don't plan on hiding my beautiful cushion cut engagement ring when I get married. I am engaged to get married 2 months from now and I don't understand why should a woman take off her most precious item, moreover in her big day. This is the most important day of my life, the day in which I care about my looks more than any other day of my life, no way I'm not wearing my fancy diamond engagement ring. Sure, there's a place for a new nice wedding ring as well, but it won't be as impressive as the engagement ring, plus I wouldn't be wearing it in the most dramatic moment, when I will enter the hall.

That is a matter of choice. You could wear your engagement ring on your ring finger and add the wedding band to the engagement ring during the ceremony or you could wear the engagement ring on your right hand. You would still get to wear it during the ceremony but there won't be a 'conflict of rings'.

As the wedding ring should be placed on the root of the finger, wearing the engagement ring on this finger during the ceremony might cause confusion and an extra burden. Most people I know wear the engagement ring on the right hand during the ceremony. Some people also leave it at home, but I think showing off the engagement ring is appropriate on such a day.
