RB Question

mandi921vh

My plan was for my nephew (RB) to carry our rings in a heart shaped box (that he picked out) down the aisle. He would then give them to FI who would either, put them in his pocket, or give them to officient to hang onto until the ring exchange, then RB would sit down still holding the ring box for the duration of the ceremony.

I mentioned this idea to my mom while at her house... RB was coming over so we were going to practice and see how he did... 

My mom sort of went crazy and did not like my idea telling me that when my sister got married X, Y, Z happened. And kept repeating that my sister's RB had fake rings, not the real ones. She really went crazy going through every possible horrible scenario that involved the rings being lost. She even went on to say that the MOH and BM have to hold the rings, like have to or death will happen. MOH will already be holding my bouquet and her own, she has tiny fingers... she would not be able to balance all of that.

I was upset so I put everything away and went back to my words with friends game. Then she obviously feeling bad went on to say well you can do whatever you want... Saying we could put rings on a string and then the could be easily untied and if the box dropped the rings would be easy to find as they were all together. I had already thought of these things...

Anyways... how exactly will your ring part go, I need every minor detail please

Honestly.... Our RB is carrying the pillow with NO rings attached and the MOH and BM will have our rings.

We're not having RBs. I think my FI will just have both.

Our RB will be carrying a little treasure chest looking box... The box is stuck about half open, and inside are two slots for our rings to be inserted, like a ring box. We will we putting our rings in there, and he will be carrying them up the aisle.  We will do our best to put them in securely, but it's really not a long aisle, and he's a pretty responsible little dude.  He's been practicing for months now. 

The box is the perfect size for his hands, too. 

We haven't really decided what he should do with the rings after he gets to FI and the BM, but I guess we'll figure that out later  
 
We still have 12 days to go haha.

I'd also be a bit nervous about the RB having realrings to carry...but I think if he's carry a box then it should be ok.  Just go with your gut.

We personally aren't having a RB so our BM and MOH will carry the rings to the alter.

Our RB (6) is going to carry the real rings in a little mini safe. The best man will hold onto them until its literally time to walk down the aisle. The RB will then walk the rings down and hand the safe back to the best man and then take his seat. We didn't want the RB to have to remember any cues to get back up during the ceremony. Plus I feel better knowing the best man can just hand them off to FI when its time.

My nephews (4&5) are RBs but not actually holding the rings. I put FI's brother/best man in charge of rings.
