Ring bearer or page boy?

I think they are more of an American thing, like Groomsmen. My mum is having my son as a ring bearer, what I understand is they carry the rings down the aisle (sometimes fake rings), whereas Page Boys simply walk down with the flower girls. We aren't having ring bearers, just a page boy and my eldest son is walking just in front of me. Our best man will have the rings.

Yeah I think it's an american thing, they usually carry a set of fake rings down the aisle, whereas page boys usually walk down with the flower girl (or I've seen them help with the brides train, but I'm not sure if that's tradition?).

We were going to have a ring bearer, but then it meant an additional cost of the ring box/fake rings, so we were going to have a page boy. However, it was going to be my OHs second cousin (who I've never met) and I put my foot down saying only if I met him, and since every time we tried to meet up it'd fallen through I said no to the cost of an outfit! So we've just got a flower girl (and I was able to get her a nicer outfit with the extra money!)
