Young RingBearer - Does he really carry the rings??

need advice from girls who had or are planning to have a young ringbearer -

my ringbearer is 2 and a half. i am planning to have him walk down the aisle with the flower girl, and most likely be picked up by their mom at the end because i don't think they can stand so long for the ceremony.

so would he really be carrying the ring?
if yes, does he give them to the bestman?
if no, does he just walk down without a pillow or anything??

TIA!

Well, at Pre Cana, they suggested the ring bearer NOT carry the rings. It was more for the ceremony than for carrying. It was suggested the best man have the rings.

We had ours carry fake rings on the ring pillow.

i'd say no. give him the pillow with the fake rings, he won't know the difference and he'll still feel important.

I hope they do say this in precana b/c FH is set on having him carry our rings. He's older, but still it worries me.

Ring pillow with fake rings...there would be no way on this earth that I would let a child hold onto my wedding rings.

I'm having our 3 year-old ring bearer carry the ring pillow with the ring I wear on my right hand (my grandmother's wedding ring) and my FH's claddagh ring.

No!!! they carry the pillow with or without fake rings- it doesnt matter, the best man holds the rings! if you are getting married in the church, at the rehearsal they will ask you if he is going to have the rings and they suggest not to , and to make him still feel important he will still be called up to the altar with the bestman to give the rings. our ringbearer was 7.

NO!
Our ring pillow has the 'fake rings' on them. He will carry that. I cannot imagine a child carrying $$$$ worth of rings.

You know what, they get tied on either way. If you think about it, the ring bearer is going from one end of the aisle to the other, with all eyes on him. It's highly unlikely that, once properly secured, he's going to lose them off of the pillow. Although, I probably wouldn't do it for a boy so young (just in case he freaks out at the last minute and refuses to go down) I don't think I'd have a problem tying the rings onto the pillow for the best man to take off when the ring bearer arrives at the alter. On the other hand, I think it is a smoother trasition to have the best man carry the rings from the get go.

My ring bearer never made it down the aisle..

Even though it would seem that a child would not lose rings tied to a pillow our priest said that there was an experience where the child had the rings on the pillow and he got nervous & started twilling the pillow around and 1 of the rings went flying so he said that under no circumstances shoudl the REAL rings be on the pillow just saves times later one & the best man should have them.

We had fake rings on the RB's pillow. The best man held the rings!
