The Ring Bearer

Hopefully, there is a little ring bearer in your circle of friends and family. Ideally, the little guy should be between three and seven, but if yours is a little younger or older, that is okay. Don't worry about it.

Mine was a friend's six year old son named Tony. He was adorable in an eggshell colored jacket and darker pants. Tony did a superb job of carrying the ring pillow down the aisle. Thank you, Tony!

The job of the wedding ring carrier is to look adorable and transport the ring pillow to the best man down at the front of the church. Some couples put their actual wedding rings on the pillow, secured with an attached ribbon. Other couples tie two toy rings on the pillow, just for show.

In some weddings this pillow-carrier walks behind the flower girl. In other weddings, he walks beside her. So it is your choice.

If your little guy throws a temper tantrum or gets scared, try having his dad or a friend walk down with him. If he will not do it, let him sit down with his parents. It is okay. Don't let it spoil your wedding day. People are understanding. Just move on with the ceremony.

You can buy decorated pillows or decorate a plain white one. They come in square, round, and heart-shaped.
