question about children

[beachgirl]

i am getting married for the second time and have 6 year old boy / girl twins. i know they are young but i want them to be highly involved in the wedding. i was thinking about having my son walk me down the isle along with my daddy. i thought about both of them doing it but i don't want to leave my daddy out at all. i THOUGHT about having my daughter be my maid of honor. i am also having a matron of honor that can do all the "duties." like i said - i know it's really young but i want her as much involved as my son. i know they can be flower girl and ring bearer but i was wanting something more unique and more involvement for them. please give me your honest opinions and any advice or suggestions on this. thanks in advance!!!

I think it would be very cute to have your son walk you down the aisle. One of the other ladies got married a few weeks ago and had her son do that, and it looked lovely.

As for your daughter, the maid of honour thing is cute, but you'll definitely need an adult (matron or maid, doesn't matter) because your daughter isn't old enough to sign the marriage license.

However, you may want to ask both of your kids if they want to do these things. I know that at six there's no way I would have been able to be a maid of honour, just because I wasn't mature enough. You know your own kids though.

thanks so much. i am planning on having a matron of honor that would be the "responsible one" do you think that would be okay?

Yeah it's definitely okay, and I did see that you mentioned that. I was actually thinking more about the pressure that a six-year-old may feel with such an important role. If she wants to do it though, I think it would be really cute.
