"The Bride is coming! The Bride is coming!" title besides bell ringer?

Bell Girl?

Why does she need a title and why does she need to announce you are coming? I mean, the bell, I guess, since it has sentimental value, but can't everyone tell the bride is coming? Does it really need to be announced? It is a wedding after all.

Eta - My son is 9 years old and he would look at me all kinds of stupid if I told him he was going to announce me. I might just tell him that for shits and giggles to see his reaction. It'll be a good laugh.

Page or herald

The Page?

My wedding is vintage/antique based on our deceased grandmother. She use to ring this bell to call us when she needed anything. Every touch in my wedding has a sentimental and meaningful

value.

Stephie, My 9 year old sister is VERY excited to come down the aisle right before me and have the honor of announcing when i'm coming.

I've come a across Bride crier and town crier (which sounds cruel) I've never heard of Page!

Thanks ladies. Keep them coming!!!

I love the idea, Chassidy. Especially because there is a story behind it. Very sweet. I have no more ideas though on names, lol.

Thank you S&J!

Town Crier or Page is what I came in here to suggest also.

I was the bell ringer in my aunties wedding back in 1997. Not sure what they are called though in the program or website.

Maybe its just bc i grew up in Boston learning about the Revolutionary war, but my first thought when I saw this was "The British are coming! The British are coming!" So im with Richard on Paul Brideivere....

Ive always thought the "here comes the bride" signs were cute, and i love that you are using the bell that is important to you, i just cant get past the announcement thing....

I am planning the same thing for my wedding - I told my son he would say "Please rise, here comes the bride". He is going to walk down the aisle with the flower girl just in case she decides not to cooperate. lol Many blessings and I love the sentiment.

I just wanted to to say this is a great idea and a personal touch to your wedding, no matter what anyone's rude remarks say. I don't have a clever name but wanted to give you my support its hard to find around here.

I vote Paul Bridevere.

That's alittle much to center it around your deceased grandmother. Sorry, that would creep me out a little.

Maybe try to find another way to honor her that wouldn't freak guests out.

My FH actually did that exact thing when he was little when his mom and dad got married. They just called him a bell ringer i think? I mean idk if that sounds harsh to people or not (im sure some could be offended) but it really was the cutest thing ever. He did it right before his mom walked down after his older brother (the ring bearer) came down! Plus, OP, i love the sentiment behind yours so i think go for it!

I second Ashley's response. This is a great idea and a nice remembrance of your grandmother.

Herald is a great suggestion and the definition actually fits the role: someone who makes grand proclamations or oversees a ceremony. A page just runs errands. Soooo, depending on your relationship with your sister... I suppose that will decide her title!

Everyone knows when the bride is coming; the music changes to "Here comes the bride." Have the bell ringing if you feel you must, but please don't make a child announce the obvious fact that you're about to approach. It's overkill to the point of narcissism.

Sorry not sorry. My reaction.... Is weird. It's nice to tribute, but don't get carried away. There is a point where it's weird. I don't now why she needs a title and why she needs to be the crier. We all know you're coming. Have her ring the bell and be done with it.

I'm with @JoRocka here...

If I may suggest, have her come down the aisle (with or without music), stand at the end and give a short ring of the bell. This can cue your bridal music and entrance. I think it would be a cute nod to your great grandmother without, well, shouting it aloud.

I agree that the bell could be a cue for your entrance music. It might be a little awkward for your guests otherwise. I do love the idea though, especially how you're honoring your grandmother's memory!
