I plan to have my 4 year old nephew and my 9 year old niece in my wedding. He is the perfect age for a ring bearer. I think she is too old to be a traditional flower girl and the beach where we are getting married prohibits tossing flower petals of any kind. Thus I think of her as a junior bridesmaid.
My idea is that she will get her own bouquet and walk down the aisle with her brother. This gives the added benefit of someone to help keep him on track. During the ceremony one or both of them can sit with their parents instead of standing up with the wedding party.
Will this look weird since they may be the only ones not walking down the aisle alone (other than me)? Is there a better way to include her? Do they participate in the Recessional or just leave with their parents after the ceremony?
