November 2026 Edition: The Wedding Advice From a Pro You Need To Know
"Who holds the rings pre-ceremony?"
My professional advice is simply, NOT THE CHILDREN.
Typically, the best man/person is the ideal choice for keeping the rings safe and accounted for prior to the ring bearer bringing it down the aisle. They are likely the last couple or solo person to walk down the aisle before a ring bearer. If you forego children in your ceremony, the duty is often given to the Groom's best man/person.
During the beginning of the day, rings should be in the box with all of the important details for the photographer to take photos of. Then, they will be designated to the holder.
