Posted in Planning 26

So what happens at the altar with the rings? I have a ring bearer so I haven't decided if he will actually have the rings or just nothing. (The pillow is my something borrowed and it has a little heart box on top so you won't be able to tell if it's empty). Who does he give rings to if he is holding them? If not does the best man hold both rings or does MOH hold FHs and BM holds mine? I know we will go over all this at the rehearsal, but I wanna hear wha my you guys have done/seen. THANKS!!

I ha e been to a wedding where the groom tied the rings to the pillow and the 4 year old RB lost them. I highly suggest not giving your RB the rings.

My ring bearer actually carried the rings They were safety pinned to the pillow by my FIL lol
After he walked down the aisle, he sat in the first row with my in-laws (his grandparents, both parents were in our wedding party). Before the ring ceremony he was called up by our officiant to bring the rings. He was so proud!!!

My moh will have FH and best man will have mine. Our officiant suggested they place it on one of their fingers (pinkie) with some lotion so when we place it on each others fingers it will go on smoothly.

@Jacqui76 - here's a pic with some rings in it for scale (that's FH's platinum one and a Costco one I returned because I decided to go another direction for mine).
Also, we don't have a ring bearer (or a wedding party other than my Man of Honor and FH's Best Man).

Our "ring bearer/junior GM" (our nephew) held the pillow with our actual rings tied on. We figured he was old enough (8) to handle the responsibility of keeping our bands. He was so proud that we asked him. It was a last minute decision that we'd been toying with since the beginning of our wedding planning. We had our officiant just turn slightly towards him and say "AJ the rings?" at which point he walked forward and held out the rings to each of us. Afterwards, he walked back to his place in line. Worked out really well.

Don't trust young ring bearers with real rings (one threw the pillow as far up the aisle as he could).
Give both rings to the Best Man. Your MOH will be holding her bouquet and your bouquet and probably a hanky. She doesn't need to also fumble with a ring.
At the appropriate point in the ceremony, I turn to the BM and have him place the rings in the palm of my hand. I then speak about the significance of them before having the couple place a ring on each other's finger.
