Son's role

jenberg02

This is my 1st wedding and I would like to include my 7 year ols son. He has been a ring bearer 5 times previously so I want to give him a new role. I am thinking of having him and my Dad walk me down the aisle or have him as a Jr. groomsman. Could he do both? What ideas to people have to include him in a special way?

I love the idea of walking down with him and your father.. or maybe could he stand up there with you fiance and wait for you to walk down? I think either would be great.

He could totally do both ideas. You walk down the aisle with your dad and him. Then your dad sits down and your son goes and stands behind the other groomsman. Or he can still sit down but be recognized as a jr groomsman, if you think that'd be best.

Also, if you have a unity candle ceremony or a sand ceremony, he can pour sand with you guys. Or if you are including your parents, both sets can pour and he can have his own thing of sand.

Or he could do a short reading, depending on his reading level. I don't know that much about how much a 7 year old can read. :-)

GL and HTH!

Our son is our ring bearer, but he is only going to be 25 months old so I think he'll have a hard time with it. We're thinking of having him stand up there with Fi sort of as his "best little man". I've been to a wedding where their son was included in the unity candle ceremony as well. I like the idea but our son is way too young to deal with candles or sand.
