Daughters Role in Wedding.

Standing up there with your fiance sounds like a very nice idea to me

Iʻm having my niece in-law carry my veil down the aisle to symbolize that two families coming together.

Iʻve also seen weddings where the young child is brought up for a unity sand ceremony followed by a family prayer with the child between the couple holding hands. Iʻm not sure if youʻre having anyone give you away but perhaps the daughter can walk down the aisle with you holding your hand and the fiancé then meets you guys and takes HER by the hand .

I've done weddings where the new step-parent makes vows to the stepchild and also the unity sand being a family unity ceremony.

My kids were junior bridesmaids. they carried real bouquets. They're 6 and 5.

I think thats a great idea and you very well can do that!

My 7 year old is our flower girl because that is what she has wanted to be for the past 5 years. She will be carrying a bouquet and have a similar dress to the bridal party though. We are unsure if FH will have his own vows to her or if he will present her with a silver locket or something to that effect to incorporate her more into the ceremony.

Oh, god, that Dad vow is making me cry.

My daughter is 8 and she will be my Jr Maid of Honor. My 11yr old son is the Jr Best man and my 5yr old son is the ring bearer.

All three will be right there with us during the ceremony.

Caitlin, when I do those vows, I just know that the grandparents especially will be in tears!

Thank you all for your advice! I think I have a good idea of what I will do now. I am so nervous that I am not doing enough, but I feel that I know just what to do now.

Patricia, I love the idea of a Jr. Maid of honor. It is very cute idea, and still sophisticated, which when I was looking yesterday for some ideas on what to call her, they were ridiculous. Sooo this, is much better!!

My daughter is 9 and she will be a "junior bride." While I will be the only one in white, she will be the only one in coral. She will go down the aisle after the flower girls, right before me. She will also light the unity candle with us.

My daughters will be 15 and 12 (from a previous relationship) they will be junior bridesmaids along with my niece in law who will be 15 as well at the time of the wedding...Our daughter(who we have together) will be 2 and a half she will be a flower girl along with her 7 year old cousin(my niece in law). I would like to do a sand ceremony as well with my daughters and FH.

My 7 year old is my flower girl, my 9 year old is my maid of honor, and his 12 year old is best man. We aren't doing vows to the children, because I have strong feelings against that. Because they aren't marrying him I am But that is totally a personal decision. But we are doing a joining of our two families with a sand ceremony.
