I asked my cousin who is 9 to be my flower girl in my wedding. A year before the wedding when picking out the dress, she had a tantrum and said she did not want to be in the wedding and wear the dress. The other day, five months before the wedding she did the same thing. She wouldn't try on the dress and then after she did, she had a miserable look on her face and told me again that she doesn't want to be in my wedding. The problem is my aunt. She refuses to let her not be in the wedding. My fiance and my sister (moh) agree with me and think she should just handout programs so she does not have to walk down the aisle or be in any pictures. My mom feels that I should give her a chance and can always tell her the day of the wedding she can't be in it. I feel like I should stick to my guns and keep her involved but not walking down the aisle or in pictures. What do you think?

Is it your wedding or your aunt's? Maybe someone close to her can remind her of the answer to that question.
The child is too old to be a flower girl. If she was a very small 9, maybe. But, it is cutting it close. She probably feels foolish to be considered a flower girl. I would be. So, I too side with you that if she is to be involved, it is in a different role.
For your own sanity and peace of mind, you really just have to make the executive decision to not have her walk in the wedding. Your aunt doesn't get to override you - just have your family support you and make the choice you know you need to make.
