Kids
I`m getting married next month and I was trying to think of some way I can include my 5 month old in my ceremony. Any ideas?

Sorry my computer is a little off of it`s rocker tonight. Anyhow, maybe you can have someone older carry the baby down the aisle with flowers or a pillow and they can serve as as a flower girl/ring bearer. It all depends on your child. Or maybe have one of the bm/gm carry your child and they could be up front with you.
My kids are older and will be walking me half way down the aisle so it is a little easier for me.
I am sure you will find a beautiful way to include your baby! Congrats on both the baby and the wedding!

I was at a wedding once where the older flower girls pulled a younger baby/toddler flower girl down the aisle in a little red wagon that was decorated with flowers. It was very cute.

So in other words you want to flaunt the fact that you have a baby prior to marriage? Kinda backwards.....

Mary,
You`re post... Kinda idiotic. People get married for various reasons, and it`s quite normal for kids to be involved in a wedding... Even though Courtney may have a child, it would be backwards not to include the young one in the wedding.
So rather than just simply posting to "Dis" someone else by making an obvious observation without providing a constructive idea. Post an idea.
My idea would be to second the Little Red Wagon idea that Patricia had. It`s sounds like a terrific idea.

Mary,
I completly agree with you....which ever religion you are from the three abrahmic faiths (Judiasm, Christianity, Islam)...they are all against having sex before marriage. It is a major sin. Some other man made reigions such as jehove`s witness and the sorts also agree with this law.
Don`t get upset when someone tells u something thats true. Just because the culture here allows this sort of thing as being normal, doesnt mean its right.....

Great, We have God himself in the house again today!
It also says, Judge not... And do unto others.... Are you following that? Obviously not!

I can`t believe that people post some of the stuff that they do! You two have no idea what she has been through. You don`t know if she is born again or not but you sit there at your computer and and type this crap out!!! What kind of Christians are you??? It`s people like you that keep young people away from the church and getting to know the Lord. And I`m sure that you never sinned huh??? I think not "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone"
Anyway to answer the post I think the wagon idea would be really cute...or how about the bride carry the baby down the isle with her instead of the bouqet. Good luck with your marriage and new child and may the Lord bless you and you family

Here`s what we did.....During the ceremony my Husband`s neice help our 4 month old. After we were pronounced "Mr. And Mrs." he walked over to here and took the little one in his arms, came back and got me and all three of us walked down the isle as a family and out into the foyer.
We had a small wedding in a Baptist church, say what you want but at least we got married. As my mother-in-law says, "you can`t unscramble scrambled eggs". The family and friends we had at our wedding came in love and support.
Good luck and God bless your family!

Mrs. ????? (can`t even write ur name?)
Well, if you follow one verse from the bible, might as well follow all the rest. And no, we are not judging, we are just saying whats in the holy book. If someone broke the law and i went to him/her adn told them that they broke the law adn they better not do it again, or to try to fix it somehow, will they say "stop judging, its only for the cops to judge"???
Puh lease, grow up and realize that i work damn hard and my damn tax money is going into programs for these stupid teenage girls who go get themselves pregnant, than their even stupider boyfriends leave them, so the only choice they have is to give the kid up (foster homes where foster parents are being paid with MY hard earned money), or they get to go on welfare adn get free food and money, and yes even daycare so that they can finish their high school diploma.....
THE only people who pay for a teenagers mistake are the hard workers who give up 1/3 of thier paycheck for taxes for these idiots......

Let me see if I have this right, it`s ok to judge others, insult theme, and swear even though these are considered sins. But as soon as it involves something you personally do not have a problem with you have the right to condem people????
As for including your baby in the wedding, I also like the wagon idea.

For one, who said this girl was a pregnant teenager? AND she is getting married so obviously the father may/maynot have left, but their is somebody supporting them.
I was a pregnant teenager and I have never been on welfare. I am now in my late 20`s with two kids and still not married. My kids have the same father and after 10 yrs we are still together and not married.
I am very grown up thank you! I have a job, serve in the military part time and go to school while raising my kids that DO NOT go to daycare so people like YOU don`t have to pay for them. My hard earned money supports them too and realize that people cannot stay on welfare forever and do get real jobs and support themselves.
And have you ever been to the welfare office, most of the people on welfare are older with young children, i used to do volunteer work there. So no they are not all pregnant teenagers and not all pregnant teenagers get on welfare.
And yes you are judging, if you weren`t, you wouldn`t care that a little of your money goes toward welfare. And FYI more money goes into supporting foreign people and this war that I am about to leave for!
What don`t you find out your facts before opening your mouth! You obviously have no idea what you are complaining about.
Good luck with your wedding and I hope that your family is full of love and laughter. I think the wagon is a very beautiful idea!

I don`t know about you ladies, but quite frankly, I am getting sick and tired of Someone`s responses. They are ignorant, judgemental, offensive and rude. This person doesn`t even have the respect for themself to sign their name to their rude comments. I would suggest before quoting the bible as the rule of the land and before defamating people for the choices they have made that some people call a sin, that someone should look at himself/herself and see if they have ever done anything that could be called a sin. If God is to be brought in this, I think He would be ashamed for in any religion, God is not about judging, but accepting His "children" and forgiving their sins. It is a sin to hate and an even greater sin to judge those. Lest he judge who will not be judged himself. Look at yourself someone and see that your sins far outweigh the mistakes that others have made. You are not perfect, so stop making these comments "in the name of God" for He would be ashamed to have those words from his mouth. As humans, everyone is entitled to make mistakes. We all do. With the responsibility that comes with this gift of life, we have a duty to also respect the others around us and their rights. Grow up someone and stop bullying others. Put a mirror in your face and look at your own ugliness before you point out others.

I agree 100% sarah. I thought these boards were for fun helping with ideas and planning. I didn`t know it was for such negativity and people`s personal religious beliefs.
I think people like "someone" and Mary should start their own board so that the people that want or need their neg. Response can go there and listen to it, and for those of us who are intelligent and kind enough not to judge other people , can enjoy these boards without being harrassed.

I don`t feel children that young should be made a part of the wedding. Actually, children that young should not be attending any part of the wedding or reception.

Linda, Why in the world should people with young children choose to leave them out of their wedding completely???? Imagine getting married with a 2 year old and saying, "Sorry honey, mommy and daddy are getting married today in front of 150 people, but you can`t come because your too young".

Just an FYI, I am a different Brandy.
Now, if you have a child you want included in your wedding, then so be it. It`s your day and you do what you want to do. Now in my case, my daughter is 9 and is walking my down the aisle. My best friend who has 2 boys and is helping me with everything has been asked to find a babysitter because neither of her boys are going to be interested in this.
If your child is young (as you described) then I am sure you have dealt with crying in the middle of the night. And because this is your child, you`d be more apt to deal with a little crying during the wedding if this was to occur. I say bring your child if you want too.

The child is only 5 months old, the bastard child should be left at home.
