flower girl and ring bearer

My fiance really really really wants a flower girl and a ring bearer to walk down the aisle at our wedding.  My mom hates the idea of children walking down the aisle.  I told my mom that it's mine and my fiance's wedding not hers but she did not back down at all.  Any suggestions on how to best handle my mother?

    This is an A/B decision, and your mom needs to C her way out.  I'm a little concerned that you think her opinion should be given equal if not greater weight than the opinion of the other person getting married.
    This is a neglected planning bio.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    Ditto PPs.  This is the wedding of you and your FI. Your mom (most likely) had her wedding day already.  If you and FI wants a FG and RB have one.  If your mom is going to give you a hard time about it tell her to close her eyes when they walk, because its what you want.

    [QUOTE]Why are you even talking about this with your mother? Stop bringing it up ... or, if SHE's bringing it up, ignore the topic entirely. Or say, "Mom, if you're so intent on there being a flower girl, why don't you do it?"

    No her mom is against having a FG and RB, and her FI really wants it.

    "Sorry you feel that way, Mom.  I appreciate the input, but FI and I have decided we're having one."  Then change the subject.  Repeat as necessary.

    If this is the only disagreement you guys are having wow you are lucky :-). I think you should ask whoever you would like to be the RB & FG. In the end i think you mom will love it after seeing how cute they are walking down the aisle.

    Ignore her? Her opinion really doesn't matter in this argument. So what if she doesn't like it, its not her wedding. She will get over it

    If I were you, I would stop discussing ANYTHING about the wedding with your mother.  Or anything in general.  She sounds certifiable.
