14 month old ring bearer

It’s crazy, I know. But my fiancé and I have a 14 month old son together and want him to be the ring bearer. He won’t be going down the idle by himself, instead my fiancé will be carrying him the whole time and then handing him off to grandma or the best man during our vows. We are aware that things can be thrown off course but are prepared for that to happen, no one will be upset if it does (we did choose to have a kid out of wedlock so, it is what it is).

Anyway, my question is... does anyone have advice for how he can either deliver the rings/have the rings on him or can the best man be the one to deliver the rings even though our son is technically the “ring bearer”? Just need some ideas/suggestions!!

Most people don’t actually have the ring bearer carry the rings since they’re typically young children. He can carry a pillow with fake rings or an empty ring box.

My 2 year old will be our ring bearer. I got him a little suitcase that says “ring security” on it. He’ll be escorted down the aisle by our flower girl (4 years old), and passed off to grandma. But the actual rings will be with one of the groomsmen (no BM, as that job was supposed to go to FH’s youngest brother who recently died in a car crash).

That young, even carrying a little box does not work well, unless you do not mind it getting thrown playfully. Have the BM and/ or MOH hold out a ring and say give this to Daddy to put on mommy's hand. Then give to Mommy to put on ... And practice it at home . O e other time that often works well with little ones: the bride and groom each handing the other bites if cake originally symbolized the couple caring for and providing nurturing and sustenance for each other throughout marriage. It is an easy time to have a carried little one . You feed a bite of cake to him, he does to you, and of course you do feed each other. This is something most kids that age love, and understand. And symbolically, you are a family now.and will take care of each other, forever and always
