Ringbearer or no?

Ideally I would like to have a cute little boy to be a ringbearer in my wedding, but I don't really know any that I could ask. Is it weird not to have a ringbearer? What else can I do?

Re: Ringbearer or no?

  • No, you don't need to have a ring bearer.  Don't ask someone just to have one.

  • It WOULD be weird just to find a random kid just to fill a spot you think you need.

    What would possibly happen if you didn't have one?

  • It's not weird to not have a ringbearer.  

    It is weird to find a random kid to fill a "role" that really isn't that important.

    BM should hold on to the rings for you and give them to the officiant at the appropriate time.  Or BM can hold your ring for FI to give to you and MOH can hold your ring for you to give to him.  Either way.

  • I wouldn't worry about not having a RB at all. We aren't having one, so the BM will just hold onto the rings.

    Curious, but are you having a FG, or thinking about not having either?

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284
  • You'll be just as married without a RB as you will with one.  If you don't know any little kids, then you don't have a RB.  And you do know that RB is NOT a gender specific role, right?  If you wanted to you could have a little girl as RB.
