    ...who's carrying your wedding rings for the ceremony and what are you putting them in/on? Need suggestions since I would have loved one of those copper ring orbs, but I can't find them anymore. Thanks!

    We didn't have a ring bearer. After I told my mom that she informed me that it's usually just fake rings on the pillow anyway. Seriously, what's the point then ya know? lol But I understand because no way would I want a 4 year old in charge of very expensive and important jewelry! My MOH held onto hubby's ring (placed it on her finger) and the best man held my ring in his breast pocket. No problems and everything went smoothly!

    Our wedding is fairly casual, and I'm tempted to tie them to my garter. That would mess him up!

    Our best man carried both rings in his pocket.  As PP mentioned, most people use fake rings on the pillow -- just to be safe.  :)

    We're not having a ring bearer either. The MOH will be holding FI's ring on her thumb, and the Best Man will be wearing mine on his pinky ;). Or at least in his coat pocket!

    Yeah, I second (or fourth?) the point about the ring not actually being carried by a child. The bride has enough to worry about as is :)

    We didn't have a ring bearer or a best man (or a bridal party for that matter).  We gave our priest the rings at the rehearsal along with the marriage certificate.  At the point in our ceremony when we began the ring exchange, we needed someone to hold the rings while the priest blessed them, and also someone to hold my bouquet.  We just had our moms come up for that part.

    we wanted to incorporate one of my FI favorite cousins, and she is a girl, so she is going to be our RING GIRL, she wanted to be a flower girl, but I have a little sister and so that was pretty much a given that she was to be our flower girl. So we will have Rachel be our RING GIRL and I am going to find her a little clutch, or purse that matches our theme and colors. And she will be the ring carrier...good luck with everything...

    My lil brother, also Bestman carried them in his pocket - and when it came time for the rings he pulled out lip glosss, then a camera, then a compact THEN the rings, apparently my MOH asked him to hold them for her so he put them in same pocket

    No missed the ring bearer... yes they are cute but not necessary

    Our Best Man carried the rings in his pocket.  During the ceremony our priest asked for the rings from the BM and he blessed them and presented eachothers ring to us in a gold dish. It was very nice.

    I made a ring carrrying box out of a empty Altoids tin (FI LOVES Altoids). I put some felt on the bottom of the inside and put ribbon in it to tie them to. FI will just carry it in his pocket. I'll take a picture to post.

    We asked my fiance's uncle, who he is very close with, to present the rings during the ceremony.

    I have been wondering what to do w/ this too. I love those little ring dishes I've seen but since I don't have a ring bearer I don't see how to incorporate that.. hmmm... watching this thread for ideas...

    You can give them to your best man and maid of honor to hold.

    We're having a friend hold our rings and greet guests as they come in and ask them to touch the rings and give them their own personal blessing. My friend will then bring the rings up once our officiant asks for them.

    I had my junior bridesmaid (my little sister) carry a little ring bowl from Paloma's Nest instead of having her carry a bouquet.  Not having to buy another bouquet saved me a lot of money, and she felt really special having such an important job!

    We have a ring bearer, but he won't be carrying the rings. :) He will be carrying a ring bowl from Paloma's Nest and I'm worred enough about that thing! Our MOH and Best Man will most likely carry the rings.

    Good post!  We're not having a ring bearer and I hadn't even thought about who would hold our rings!  I am going to do what most of you said, have my MOH hold FI's and the BM hold mine.

    Our best man will hold the rings, I haven't been to many weddings that had ring bearers and this seems to be the most common way to do it here (in Aus). At my sister's wedding they had an all female bridal party (all their sisters) and got the dads to hold the rings. It was actually a really sweet part of the ceremony when the dads got their moment in the spotlight :)

    Traditionally, the best man and maid of honour carry the rings (the MOH carries the groom's ring for the bride to give to him, and vice-versa for the BM). Sometimes the best man carries both. But usually, the rings given to the ringbearer are fake, in case something happens to them or the ringbearer decides he doesn't want to go down the aisle/throws a tantrum (and the rings), etc.
