     Role for bride's brother who is unable to be an usher?  

I am a bride-to-be blessed with lots of siblings, (4 brothers, 1 sister). My sister is to be the matron-of-honer, and 3 of my brothers are to be ushers. My 4th brother is mentally impaired (think of around a 5-year-old mentality). I really want to include him in my wedding, but the duties of being an usher are to much for him. He did stand up in my brother's wedding as a groomsman - however he did not do other groomsman duties. The interaction with guests required by an usher wouldn't be a task he could handle though.

Can you think of an appropriate role that I would be able to include him in? Perhaps handing out the programs or something? I really want him to be a part of this day, but am at a loss with how to include him.

Dear Raanne,

This is a wonderful focus. Thank you.

I was thinking the same thing--handing out programs. This would give him the opportunity of meeting everyone and making him feel important as well.

Best wishes,
