My sister has asked me and my children to be in her wedding... My son is the ring bearer and my daughter is the flower girl. I know my daughter leads the procession, but where & when does the ring bearer come in. My Daughter is almost 4 and might do better if her brother walks with her (he is 6). Can we do it that way?
Thanks.

Re: [gypsy2thou] where in the order is the ring bearer

When the children are this young it is acceptable (and preferable) to have the ring bearer and flower girl walk together.
I found this little story online recently and have been dying to share it but was waiting for the right post...and now here it is:
A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the aisle he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd (alternating between bride's side and groom's side). While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar loudly.
So it went ... step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR ... all the way down the aisle.
As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the front. The little boy, however, was getting more and more distressed from all the laughing, and was near tears by the time he reached the pulpit. When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was being the Ring Bear."
TOO CUTE!
Enjoy them and don't expect that they'll be perfect on this day. Kids' behavior (as I am sure you are keenly aware) is very unreliable at this age. Be prepared for the "deer in the headlights" reaction or even a few tears. If, on the day, they become frightened please don't force them down the aisle. Bribery is acceptable!
