[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had 2.5 yo boy as ring bearer- we knew it could be a disaster but it was important to all of us. Mom was also a bridesmaid, so dad managed boy.

So dad sat in front row with bride's family- once procession was done, boy sat with dad, but eventually came out to sit on the altar steps because it was interesting to him.  Then he hid for the processional.

We had expected dad to head out of the church to play outside with ring bearer until ceremony was over, but they ended up staying.

Honestly- it is all about perspective- we knew it might not work- but were thrilled when part of it did.

And plan for just a couple of photos with the child.

If the bride/ groom are game then it might work better than you think.[/quote]

Make sure the bride and groom are CLEAR on what may happen.  You or your DH need to sit in the front row of the groom's side.  Have him walk down the aisle - and then come and sit next to you.  It would be best if you have an escape route planned - many churches have doors to the hallway up front.  Know your kid - my oldest would have been awesome at this at 3.5, my youngest...not so much.

Our 3 year old flower girl never made it down the aisle - one of our ushers threw the petals. :)[/quote]
