we are not having a ring bearer but we are having the groomsmen pass the ring down the line when we need the rings and the Best man will have until then.
I think it can probably be either. For my FBIL's wedding, my fiance held the rings since it was easier because I didn't have pockets. For our wedding, we may have his brother hold both or he may hold mine while my brother, who's my man of honor, might hold his.
ETA: We're also having a ring warming ceremony so it may just be whoever is closest, my brother or his, when the rings are done being passed around.
I am having my dog pose as our ring bearer! The rings will be (securely) tied to his suit. :)
I've always heard that the MOH holds the groom's on her thumb. And for what it's worth, I've also heard when you have one, the ring bearer doesn't hold the actual rings (just decoys). I guess it depends on how much you trust him!!!
Just do it however you want. It doesn't matter as long as you have a plan!
The MOH/Best Man held ours until it was time for our minister to talk about the significance of the rings, and then they were handed to him. He held out of his hand, and my husband and I took them when it time to put them on (him first, then me).
I agree with @crayfish, though. There isn't a set rule about it, as long as you have a plan, it doesn't matter how you do it.
@HisIrishPrincess: Yes, true they have pockets! Maybe it would be easier to have him hold them both. And I realize we can do it however we like, just wasn't sure what the "proper" way was... or which way makes the most sense for the ceremony.
@Mrs Sarah McK: Oh, I like this! Our officiant will say a little something about the significance of the rings, so maybe if the best man just hands them both to the officiant, then it will not seem so odd (for the bride to reach over to get the ring from the best man). When we meet with the officiant to iron out the details, I will be sure to ask him about it. Thanks!
The thought of our rings in pockets freaks me out. I feel like someone's gonna pull out a cell phone and they'll go flying unnoticed and disappear for ever. My MOH is wearing FI's on her thumb or forefinger, and the Best Man is wearing mine on his pinky (I made him try on my e-ring to be sure it would fit). I just feel better if they're in hand as opposed to a pocket, but I'm paranoid like that.
@Miss OBG: Well I would put the rings in a pouch of some sort, so they are not just loose in the pockets. I do not like the idea of the best man or MOH wearing the rings. It weirds me out, and I don't want anyone to wear my ring but me!
@808mjm202: Haha I guess that makes sense! Especially since it'll be the first time they're worn. I sort of like the symbolism of people we have been closest to protecting the rings for us to give them to the person we're marrying. But I totally get where you're coming from, and I think the pouch will work great.
You know, this is awful because I can't be 100% sure that I'm right but I think MOH held both. I just trusted her more than the guys that day. :)

Sorry, there are no users yet.
We are not having a ring bearer or anything...so who holds onto the rings during the ceremony? Does the best man hold both of ours? Or the best man just holds bride's and the MOH holds onto to the groom's...and then each give to the bride and groom when called for during the ceremony?
