Why a Ringbearer?
This custom is typically American and unknown in Europe although he is the successor the the English page boy who still carries the Bride's train in formal weddings at Westminster. Children have always been considered propitious in the wedding party, and in France they carried lighted tapers at the Bride's side. Charles Frederick Worth, who dressed most of the queens of Europe from his house in Paris, is said to have originated the court train, suspended from the shoulders, for the wedding gown. This gave the little train-bearer a definite job to do. But alas, court trains went out of fashion as skirts grew shorter, so the Bride's little nephew was given the wedding ring to carry.
