Who is holding your train as you walk down the aisle?

I was thinking about this earlier. I've heard that tradition is for the maid of honor to hold the train as the bride walks down the aisle ( heard from my mother, no idea if it is actually true). But if the maid of honor has a bouquet, how do they carry the train? Who are you having hold your train?...

But if the maid of honor has a bouquet, how do they carry the train? Who are you having hold your train? Or do I not have anyone carry my train?

Also, we're not having a flower girl or ring bearer. Who should hold the rings for us? Or should FH and i hold each other's rings until it's time to put them on each other?

Edit added: Answer to my train question: No one! I'm overthinking this due to being so close to the wedding.

    As an officiant, I prefer if the best man has both rings.

    Also the MOH has her hands full with her bouquet and yours.

    You could just give the rings to the officiant or have one of your BM and GM carry them.

    @ Nancy T, thanks for the input! That makes a lot of sense. I'll be sure to give the best man both rings.

    I have no idea who had our rings, honestly. They just appeared out of nowhere during the ceremony. I'm so glad someone (not me) had their shit together. As for my train, I just let that shit drag behind me. I was at a wedding recently where someone carried the bride's train which I thought was odd, especially since her train was not even long.

    My mom says it's tradition to have a little girl hold it (Mexican tradition). Im not having anyone hold it and I think to have an adult do it looks awkward af.

    Exactly what Celia said.

    It would look super silly for your MOH to walk down the aisle holding your train.

    The best man should keep the rings. But, make sure he keeps them in a box. This sounds like common sense....but there was a very awkward 60 seconds (at least) where my idiot BIL turned his pockets inside out trying to find my wedding band.
