What are the correct terms for "flower girl" and "ring bearer" in polish?
What are the correct terms for "flower girl" and "ring bearer" in Polish?
perhaps there are no such official titles/functions in a Polish wedding - I am not sure but never heard about such - there are groom's best men and bridesmades and that's all I am familiar with
The term "Ring bearer" is quite problematic. You will find everything you need in this thread: /free-translation-42/wedding-translations-please-best-man-father-groom-52067

When reading about a "ring bearer" I think about Frodo Baggins. :) In this case it can be translated as "powiernik pierścienia".
The usual word for "wedding ring" in Polish is "obrączka", not "pierścień". So "nosiciel obrączki" would be a literal translation of "ring bearer", and would be more easily understood than any term with "pierścień".

"nosiciel obrączki" sounds outright hilarious! The word nosiciel is usually associated with illness or a virus e.g. "nosiciel rzadkiej choroby"
Anyway imho I am not familiar with any polish equivalents of "ring bearer" or "flower girls", these terms have not been set, I think

Ussually the polish name for ring bearer is świadek or drużba - as it is a best man who carries rings. (see "Four Weddings and a Funeral "for how good it can end)
"Nosiciel obrączki" would be a person who has a ring on their finger.
