OneWed’s Local Flavor: Rugrats in Your Wedding, Yea or Nay?

Sure kids make cute additions to the wedding party, but can they follow instructions?
It’s almost guaranteed to happen. Either you or your bride will have a close friend or relative who wants their child to be your flower girl or ring bearer. Kids can be a cute addition to a wedding party, as long as you keep your expectations in check. What expectations? Well, for starters, the expectation that the little tike will actually walk down the aisle as directed. Even the most gung-ho flower girl can get stage fright when faced with that big aisle. Make sure a trusted adult is on hand to help assist, and if necessary remove the tantrum-throwing child from the scene.
If all else fails, make sure the videographer gets plenty of footage of the crying and/or screaming tike. It’ll provide great blackmail material in about 14 years!
