ring bear

We first featured a ring bearer dressed up as a ring BEAR back in 2010, and since then the idea has spread like wildfire (even appearing on “How I Met Your Mother” in 2014). We adore the concept, and have tons of ideas and inspiration for you if you’re thinking of having your own ring bear at your wedding.

Sarah & Mark’s BBQ in a barn with a big bear brawl

Sometimes when you incorporate bears into your wedding theme, it begins Bear War I and somebody’s going down. Thankfully, there was mucho honey favors, tons of pies (including whoopie), and the breaking of bread to get all the guests involved. Plus, the bride has some great advice on what she should have brought to the hotel!

Paying homage to our favorite wedding party member: the RING BEAR

Ring bearer? Sure. Ring BEAR? Hell yes! Every time we get to see a ring bear, we get excited. We decided to pull together all of our favorite ring bears to pay respect to that most LOL-worthy of guests and bear(er) of rings, who sweats his or her way through the ceremony for our viewing pleasure.
