My daughter gets married this coming Saturday (3 days!) and her 17-year old nephew will be the “ring bearer”. Her 19-year old cousins will be the flower girls, and instead of baskets for the rose petals, I got silver-colored Chinese food containers for them to carry. This is not your traditional wedding…they are getting married in a party room at a sports bar, her dress is silver, we’re having cupcakes instead of a cake…
So I am looking for a different way for this boy to carry the rings rather than the standard pillow.
In a pizza box, as competition to the Chinese food containers?
In a sports bar… so taped to a hockey puck/football/other sports object? How about in the basket of a lacrosse stick? Hooked on the end of a fishing line?
So this four-year-old boy takes three steps down the aisle, raises his hands, and says ‘Rowr!’ The takes three more steps, stops, raises his hands, and says ‘Rowr!’ After several repetitions one of the wedding guests asks him what he’s doing. The lad says, ‘I’m the Ring Bear!’
Our ring bearer was our Roomba vaccuum cleaner, driven down the aisle by remote control by a friend of ours. Do you have a Roomba (the kind with a remote)? It got a lot of laughs at our wedding.
Put the ring in a glass of beer. The couple to be will have to drink the beer to get at the ring. A couple did this at a wedding I officiated a few years ago.
