    I was thinking of responding when it disapeared on me. I thought I was going crazy for a second.

    Yay, now I can answer. Problem 1: IMO if you refuse to wear the uniform, then you don't get the job. I know that sounds all BM job duty rant like, but honestly, the only requirements are to show up, smile, and wear the dress. If they can't do that then get rid of them. Problem 2: Our officiant told us that when she has young kids she tells them that she has candy, shows them the candy, and tells them that if they want the candy they have to make it all the way down the aisle with no crying. She keeps the candy in her pocket and gives it to them at the altar. She's worked with 30+ kids and never had one cry or not walk all the way down.

    1. I don't get why the would be so opposed to wearing a dress that they pick themselves. Honestly, I'd probably reconsider having them as a BM for that. What kind of friend can't suck it up and wear a dress for a couple hourse. Maybe they could change to pants for the reception?2. Depends on the day with a baby that age. My 1 1/2 year old niece was a ring bearer at T's sisters wedding but because it was a small, formal affair she was already standing up by the bride and groom and just walked forward with the rings (attatched to the grooms childhood stuffed puppy which he ended up letting the baby keep)Candy is probably a great idea but teres never a guarantee.

    I still have it open.  I went to respond and it was gone.1.  I'm one of those people who thinks all a BM is required to do is buy the dress and show up with a smile on the day.  If they're not willing to wear a dress, they aren't BMs.  I think you'd be justified in telling them that they have to wear a dress if they want to be your BMs.2.  I have no idea.  We didn't have kids in our wedding.

    And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

    yeah, I deleted it because of the extra coding that decided to insert itself when I copied and pasted it from word but didn't appear until it was posted. I swear I copied and re-posted without the extra crazy code but for some reason I can't find it.

    thank you all so much for responding even though the magical computer fairy made the second post disappear. I was worried about being a bit of a bridezilla with my friends. FH was telling me the same thing but I wanted some female insight just in case it was just a woman thing that I wasn't catching on to. Maybe offering pant-suits as an option for the reception will be the selling point.I'll try the candy with the future niece and hopefully we can teach her to do this. If not, do you think having the 22-year-old mom walk down the aisle with her is tacky? Just thinking of options.
