Hi there!

So my darling older sister has Down Syndrome and we are very close! I want her to be a part of my wedding somehow, but my concern with having my sister as a bridesmaid is that it will be a lot for my mom to handle with alterations, hair, shoes, etc.

My wedding will not be religious in any way so bible verses and readings won't be a thing at our wedding.

Any help I could get would be so appreciated!

Here is a pic of her and I together.

Sister and I

My friend's now SIL has special needs as well and similar concerns about the day being overwhelming, she went dress shopping with us and picked out her own dress and wore a corsage. She also had her hair and makeup done with the BMs, but did not walk down the aisle and sat with grandma in the front row. Having familiar people with her all day made a huge difference, as well as the downtime between HMU and the ceremony itself. Do you have family members that can be with her if needed, like an aunt/uncle/grandparent?
