I've been a best man several times but I've never had a really good way to hold the wedding rings. The bride is making me get this:

I've been to one wedding where the rings got misplaced and I have to say it was pretty damn funny. If anybody knows of a better way to carry out my ring duties without fumbling around for the rings let me know.

Yeah, a pocket works just fine.

That's a great way to lose a friendship.

Stopped reading.

OP, placate the Bride beforehand and then do whatever you want.

Don't drink too much as BM because you're kind of a big deal in the wedding.

Just make sure you don't lose the ring.

that's seems more dangerous than a pocket.

I'd tell the groom to tell her to chill out. Being a best man is expensive enough as it is.

You could always stick it up your arse until you need it

Have her buy that shite for you to wear. It's her wedding.

Buy the thing to appease her then put the rings in your pocket anyway.

Start timing how long it takes you to digest things.

Swallow them and plan accordingly.

Just don't get caught shitting in champagne flute like I did

I've done it a few times. I just put them in my pocket and during the wedding I put it on the tip my pinky so I don't have to fumble for it during the ceremony.

Unless you're a slap dick or a child you shouldn't need the bride to tell you how to hold the ring

This is exactly what I did . I was too nervous it would fall out of my pocket or I would be struggling to get it out of my pocket when the time came.

^^^^This^^^^

Or better yet, make her buy it if she's that crazy. It's not like she's going to go off on you in the middle of their vows.

Funny story though. When I was my bro's best man, I put the rings in my inside jacket pocket and went about the pre-wedding business. Just as we are about to walk out, I double-check to make sure the rings are there and as I reach in, my finger goes straight through a hole in the bottom of the pocket and the rings are gone. My heart never sank lower. Luckily, the rings just fell into the lining of the jacket and the wedding went off without a hitch. Moral of the story: check the pockets of the cheap rented tuxes for holes.

You should buy it and then not wear it. When she asks where your bracelet is say "I lost it". Right before her head explodes say "But don't worry, the ring is right here in my pocket"
