Rings'n things... (1)

A little boy was at a relatives wedding. As he was coming down the aisle he would take two steps, stop and turn to the crowd (alternating between bride's side and groom's side). While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar.

So it went, step, step, "ROAR," step, step, "ROAR," all the way down the aisle. As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit.

The little boy, however, was getting more and more distressed from all the laughing, and was also near tears by the time he reached the pulpit.

When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was being the Ring Bear."

Top 10 tips for the Church!


  1. Check if there is enough room for you to sit on the Altar. If not; decide where to sit during communion – warn the groomsmen they'll need to move the furniture!
  2. Leave the front pew or bench seat available for the Bridesmaids and Groomsmen
  3. Ensure there is a man available to escort the mother of the bride up the church
  4. Time the length of the Aisle for your music
  5. Keep the area in front of the church free so the photographer, videographer and the bridal party cars can park
  6. If you are using a red carpet ensure it is securely fastened and there are weights on it if it is wet and windy – sticky tape will pull away.
  7. Ensure the church balcony is open for easy access for the photographer and videographer.
  8. Make sure the heat is put on early if it is a winter wedding.
  9. Volunteer or designate people to move the flowers to the reception venue and remember to leave a flower arrangement in the church.
  10. As confetti is rarely allowed at churches plan to use bubbles if it isn't too windy!
