Did you know that the custom of having a Ring Bearer dates as far back as the Ancient Romans & Egyptians?  Back then, only the wealthiest of families had pillows and cushions.  So, it was only fitting that they include them in the Wedding Ceremony!

However, back then, the pillows did not carry the Bride & Grooms Rings as they do today, they carried gifts to the couple, including Gold and Silver Stones.

Modern Day Ring Bearers are typically little boys, from the Bride or Grooms Family. Or, it can be a little boy that the Bride & Groom are close to. (It must be noted, that a popular trend is to have the Wedding Couples Dog, serve as the Ring Bearer).   The average age of a Ring Bearer is between 5 & 10 years old.  But as we’ve all seen, he can be of any age!
