PAGE (WEDDINGS)

(Redirected from Page (wedding attendant))
A 'page boy' is a young male attendant at a wedding or cotillion.
This type of wedding attendant is less common than it used to be, but is still a way of including young relatives or the children of relatives and friends in a wedding. A page is often seen at British royal weddings. There may be many pages for effect at cotillions.
In a formal wedding or a white wedding, the page may be involved with the following:

★ A ringbearer is a special page, who carries the wedding rings for the bridal party. This is a modern term, and it is perfectly correct to refer to the Ringbearer

★ Traditionally, page boys may carry the bride's train, especially if she is wearing a dress with a long train.
Ringbearers and page boys are usually nephews or young brothers and are generally no younger than about 5 nor older than 9 or 10.
