Just A Question
My flower girls are 2 and 4, and my ring bearer is 20 months old. Has anyone had any experiences with the flower girl`s or ringbearers this young? My wedding is coming up and I am worried that they are going to start crying or fighting now that it comes closer!! I don`t by any means expect them to be perfect, but I just want to know how bad they will be!! (The flower girls are my daughter and my fiance`s daughter so I am sure I will think they do great anyway :) )

I also have flower girls and ring bearers who are three and younger. I also wonder if theya re going to make it down the isle but if they dont it is okay. I have been to weddings where children this age did great and others where they cried or took off running the other way (once they saw all the people looking at them) . It was cute either way and every one enjoys seeing them. Dont worry about it, what ever happens happens. They are kids and people understand that.

I don`t see a problem with it. Even if they do act up, everyone will understand because they are just kids.

I think that it is great to have little girls and boys as the flowergirls and ring bearers. If they cry or fight, just laugh it off. My aunt and uncle talk about their wedding where my sister and cousin were the flowergirl and ring bearer (ages 3 and 4 respectively). My sister made it half way down the aisle before she got bored of that and quit - Mom quickly got her up to the alter. And my cousin, Rob, made it all the way down the aisle but was pretty sour with the bride and groom at the reception. He told them he was mad because they said he could be the ring bearer and he didn`t see one animal at the church or at the reception - he was confused and thought he was going to be the ring master of the circus! So, with any luck your wedding will go smoothly, if not, you will have wonderful stories to tell them years from now.
Have a wonderful day!

My daughter recently got married. Had F/G 7 & her brother R/B 3. They were perfect at rehersal.....I believe our mistake was we brought the pillow to church that night but never gave it to him to hold, no reason just didn`t think of it. Well, we gave it to him right before he was to go down the aisle and he started throwing it around and his sister was trying to correct him. As it was my turn to go up the aisle I heard him say to his sister" Don`t yell at me, I want my Mom" and he started crying. Well, she went up the aisle like a true pro....he was carried by the usher and then got down when he spotted his Mom in a pew and ran to her. He eventually found his way to the alter mid way through the service. Well, it was adorable everyone thought he was so cute. Our videographer submitted it to the TLC channel and a clip of it was on Wild Weddings 3. Believe me while we watched all the diasters that happened in everyone else`s clip, we`re really not sure how my daughters R/B clip
Got on but he truly was adorable. So just go with the flow, don`t stress.Remember they are only kids.
