Son Giving Me Away- HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I chose my teenage son to be the one to give me away at my wedding in July, wondering if he should wear a tux or suit? Fiance is wearing a tux. Also we are including my son in the ceremony and want to give him a "gift" as we welcome him to our new family.. Any ideas other than the family medallion?

I JUST GOT MARRIED LAST WEEK AND OUR WEDDING INCLUDED ALL OUR TEENAGED CHILDREN, ACTUALLY YOUNG ADULTS. MY 17 YEAR OLD SON WALKED ME DOWN THE ASILE AND ALSO STOOD UP WITH THE REST OF THE USERS. BETWEEN US BOTH WE HAVE SIX CHILDREN.

I GAVE ALL THE GUYS PERSONALIZED POCKET KNIVES,(THE KNOT) AND THE GIRLS GOT EARRINGS.

WHAT WAS REALLY SPECIAL WAS WHEN BOTH MY SONS DANCED WITH ME AT THE SAME TIME AND SAID "HOW OFTEN CAN A KID SAY WE DANCED WITH OUR MOM AT HER WEDDING! I JUST CRIED!! WHAT A DAY, EVERYTHING WENT OFF PERFECTLY AND NOW WE HAVE BRADY BUNCH PICTURES TO SHARE WITH EVERYONE!

JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU, GOOD LUCK ON YOUR SPECIAL DAY!

As far as the tux goes, I think as long as the future husband is wearing a tux your son should also. If your father were walking you down the aisle he would be expected to wear a tux.
As far as the gift goes you said he is a teenager but I think a gift for a 13 y/o versus a 19y/o would be much different. How old is he?
