ring bearers

Cushion-bearing wedding attendants

Ring bearers are children, typically young boys, who carry the wedding rings down the aisle during a marriage ceremony.

The role is largely ceremonial and decorative—the rings are often tied to a small pillow.

Ring bearers usually walk just before the bride, sometimes paired with a flower girl.

The term also applies to anyone entrusted with holding or presenting rings at a wedding.
