    Ring bearer.  A ring barrier would be something standing between you and the rings.

    The only thing you need to get married is two consenting adults, an officiant, and a license.  Anything else is optional.
    This is a neglected planning bio.
    This is a belated married bio, with no reviews yet because I'm lazy.

    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

    ::raises hand::  that was me, stage, who uses the rule of thumb:  if they can't use words to explain what their role in the ceremony is, why they're doing it, AND can't WALK down the aisle by themselves, they're just too young to be in a WP.

    We only had a RB. No FG. It's been 5 months, and we haven't been served with "mandatory annulment" papers yet, so I'm guessing not having one is fine.

    And as far as picking a child to be a RB or FG, ditto Stage and Trix: if the kid can't walk down the aisle unassisted and can't explain to you what they'll be doing in their own words, they're too young.

    Plus, no matter what the role in the wedding, if you feel like you're grasping at straws to fill it, then you probably should just leave it be, and do without.

    If you fire a WP member, you're against America.

    We are having a 2 year old RB, and I am debating having him hold the FG's hand down the aisle, or just letting him be first and let him run  his dad is the best man, so he would run to daddy.  I totally envision daddy holding him til it is time for the rings, and after he hands over the pillow, he goes to sit with mommy...that is how I dream it atleast.
