   Two of my fiance's child relatives decided that they were going to boycott my wedding once they heard that it was on Halloween and that they were not in the wedding party. So, about 6 or 7 weeks before we are due to get married, my fiance decides to add them to MY wedding party. I had to find places for them. I made them…

   I'm still trying to wrap my head around how 2 kids, ages 8 and 10 can boycott a wedding, no matter what date it falls on. Pretty much until I was old enough to have my own life (Which I gaurantee, I was older than 10), if my PARENTS wanted me to go somewhere, I WENT. And if I complained about it, I got grounded. If they…

   Omg. People.. of course when i said My wedding party, i meant, my side, as in my attendants, referring to the bridal party, the MOH and the BM's, not the entire wedding party, which would also include my FI attendants and the fg, rb, and ushers. And i know that them saying they were going to boycott was just an excuse to…

   Huh? What on Earth is a trainbearer and why are they looking to get dresses and shoes to match the wedding party?If they're young and want to help then let them! Tell mom that it's perfectly fine if they feel like fluffing from both sides.

   Have them hand out programs. I've never seen kids carry a train down the aisle. I'm thinking you probably already have program hand-outers though, so if you must have them walk behind you in the aisle as pages like pp said. For the record, I'm a bit creeped out by the matchy-matchiness you're talking about. And your…

   I'd like to admit that I've also never heard of a trainbearer. I agree with the pp recommending that you just make them Jr. BMs. It sounds like you're going to be matching their attire to the rest of the BP, so why not just have them stand with the other girls? Instead of getting them full bouquets or whatever the other…

   Wait, is the entire gift you are giving your wedding party jewelry for them to wear IN the wedding? Because if so, you need to get them something else too.

   Well, your first mistake was letting your FI bulldoze you like that. Secondly, there was really no need to put them in matching dresses and shoes and jewelry. Whatever. Water under the bridge now. Just let them walk down the aisle and call it a day. They don't need to carry your train or have props or flowers or special…
