Ring Bearer Memories
Adults looking back on their boyhood remember the ring bearer
costumes they wore and the weddings they participted in:
- I was a page in three weddings and a ring bearer in one. At 4,7, and twice when I was
9 years old. This occurred from 1958-1964. I remember my outfits very
well. My mother still has a photo of me in all occasions. One is in a
frame in her hall. I wore a saffire blue velvet suspender short/culotte,
with a white blouse, shoulder width ruffled round collar, white knee socks,
and gearge washington slippers.
- I was about 10 years old when I served as a ring bearer. It was
1962. Actually I
was rather excited about it until I got a look at the costume my sister had
selected for me. It was a white short pants suit with especially short
shorts and white knee socks. I was horrified as it looked like such a sissy
suit. I wore shorts to play in during the summer, but I never remember
dressing up in shorts and wearing knee socks--especially white sissy-looking
girlish knee socks. The wedding was bad enough, but I got into a fight at
the reception after the wedding because my cousins were teasing me. John
