So - Who Keeps the Rings?

When ever you feel it's safe you give him the rings you dont give him your engagement ring only the wedding bands.

The only reason he would keep your engagement ring would be if you were doing what some couples do, and having the groom put first the wedding band and then the engagement ring on your finger during the ceremony. If you're just wearing your engagement ring on your right hand, or leaving it where it is and switching the rings after the ceremony, then you never need to give it to him.

And the Best Man can get the rings whenever is convenient. We didn't have a Best Man, and the Dude of Honor is ADHD, so he never got the rings at all. We just put them on a table up front before the ceremony.

For my wedding the best man (my best friend of 19 yrs ) will hold my ring and my Maid Of Honor (my daughter ) will hold my FH's ring. Just haven't decided if I'm gonna keep my engagement ring on or take it off until after the ceremony.

I'm just going to wear my engagement ring on a different finger, i guess fh will give the best man the rings on the day.

My FMIL is holding onto both of them until the wedding. the best man keeps mine and my MOH will hold onto my fiances.

I just kind of assumed FH will. I hope he knows that. He had my e-ring for over a month before proposing so I think he can handle it ;-)

I'm going to keep the rings and then have the best man come get them from me at the church pre-ceremony. I'm way to paranoid about FH losing them...

I am going to have the rings on the RB pillow and then he will give them to the Rvn.

My H kept them at all times until 30 seconds before I walked down the aisle.

It seems like, from the answers here, it's just up to you! I would probably be paranoid too and would wanna hold onto them until the time comes, but everyone is different.

I have mine in a nice ring box, and I haven't decided what to do with them yet. I am super paranoid that they will somehow get lost or misplaced and I will NOT let anyone keep them in their pocket without being in the box because it seems too easy for them to fall out unnoticed. And I'm afraid FH would forget them in the excitement of getting ready or something. So I'll probably keep them and then give them to the best man after our first look and bridal party photos, on our way to the ceremony.

Who keeps the rings until the moment is completely up to you and, most importantly, who do you trust to keep them! The most common practice is for the groom to hand these over to the best man the day of the wedding.

Now, due to an experience at a wedding, if the Best Man is going to put the rings in his pocket please please please have him check the pockets for holes. What happened once is the rental tux had a hole in the pocket and the rings had fallen out. Luckily they were found later on in the hotel.

My DH held onto his and my wedding band up until the day of the wedding. Then he put them into the box our ring bearer would carry. Gave the box to the ring bearer before he walked down the aisle. RB gave the box to the Best Man at the end of the aisle.

Below is the picture of the box with the rings. Those things were wedged in there, not going anywhere.

Tiffany,

That is a really really cute box....Not sure how old your RB was at the time, but you are ohh so brave, no matter how tightly those rings were wedged in there

If your ringbearer is young, don't put the real rings on the pillow. The pillow usually comes with "dummy" rings.

If the rings are in a box, have the best man hand the rings (not the whole box) to the officiant. The other day, while I had the ceremony booklet in one hand, the BM wanted to hand me a closed box. I whispered to him, "Just the rings!"

I find it is best if the BM has both rings. The MOH will be fluffing your train and holding your bouquet -- that's enough to do.

For my brothers wedding she (my SIL) kept the rings until the guys got to the church then she had one of the hostess' take the rings and give them to the best man

My sister MOH is going to hold my FH ring and the Best man is holding my ring on the day.. Def not the day before.. I don't want anything to get lost lol

I kept them until we were getting ready at the site, because frankly I trusted myself the most. Then we tied them onto the ring bearer pillow (I trusted him, and there were plenty of other worried adults that kept a close eye on the pillow) and let him hold onto it until he handed it to DH during the ring part of the ceremony. Something that was cool about our ring ceremony was that the pastor had us put the rings on each others fingers at the same time.

I think I am going to ask FMIL to hold on to them the day of the wedding and then give them to the best man right before. I'll be wearing my e-ring and just switch them after the ceremony. I am going to be way to paranoid to let them out of my sight until then lol
