Are uneven sides okay? (Yes!) Can you kick out a pregnant bridesmaid? (No!) Ask the toughest wedding party questions here.
Have any of you ever seen a wedding that didn't have a ring bearer? And if so, was it weird? I have one option for a ring bearer, but I don't consider him a good option. He's 4 and he's really spoiled

Have any of you ever seen a wedding that didn't have a ring bearer? And if so, was it weird? I have one option for a ring bearer, but I don't consider him a good option. He's 4 and he's really spoiled. He goes out of his way to do the opposite of what you ask. I can see him now either pitching a fit or doing inappropriate things in front of the entire church. It's really not that important to me to have one anyway. I will have a flower girl and I think I would be happy with just her. What do you guys think? I would like to add, though, that I'm not crazy about things having to go perfectly and there is a something special about the little ones and the cute and unplanned things they do, but he will be an entirely different kind of unplanned and definitely not cute.

It's fine not to have a ring bearer.

I am "deaf-initely" one of a kind.

Yeah, its totally fine not to have a ring bearer.  Sometimes that just isn't an option.  It wouldn't be weird at all.

We aren't having any children.  I think they're just props unless they are extremely close to you.

Just because you saw it on Four Weddings, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

The sole function of kids in the wedding is Cuteness.  It's not "required" at all.  You've cited excellent reasons not to have an RB.
