Adult Ring Bearer?

This past weekend my uncle, who is like a second father started asking me questions about my wedding. He asked what he had to wear since he wasn't going to be in the bridal party. So I told him and then he came up with a wild idea of him being the ring bearer. Honestly, we don't have any kids to do...

Honestly, we don't have any kids to do it and you see grandmothers as flower girls all the time. I was thinking I could make him dress like he is "Ring Security" and kind of make it a fun thing.

Has anyone had an adult ring bearer before?

    People get too caught up on "age" and whats odd.

    Did you end up going through with this? I have been considering asking my cousin to be our ring bearer. He is 20 years old and basically my brother. The only other option for him to be a part of our wedding would be an usher. I would really love him to be a part of the wedding. Thanks!

    Just ran a rehearsal as a venue day-of wedding coordinator and wedding party is very non-traditional -- the "flower girl" and "ring bearer" are the two older sisters of the groom -- they are wearing coordinating dresses and walking up the aisle together, just before the bride and the MoB -- they will then sit with their parents -- they will go up together with the rings when it is time for the bride/groom to exchange rings as part of the ceremony -- the bride and groom also built in a section for their three siblings to give "advice" during the ceremony -- I adore how they are embracing their own fun day!
