The Ring Exchange

Who holds the rings?

Three options
1) The best man holds both rings
2) The ring bearer holds both rings
3) The MOH holds the groom’s ring; the BM holds the bride’s ring

Consensus is usually to have the best man hold both of the rings. The ring bearer, regardless of age, is just not to be trusted with such important merchandise. The ceremony runs more smoothly when one person holds both rings. If one of the rings drops to the ground, the best man should be the only one to stoop to pick it up. This avoids a ‘butts up’ affect or three stooges head butting episode!

Sometimes the groomsmen will have a joke at the expense of the ring exchange. One of our favorite examples, is the wedding where the best man threw up his hands when asked for the rings. He looked to the groomsmen beside him, who threw up his hands. Each guy turned to the next, until finally, the last groomsman had the rings!


Think through the details!
