Wedding Role for Daughter`

She could escort you down the aisle, do a reading during the ceremony, give a speech during the reception

My dad will walk me down the aisle & I want her included in the ceremony. What kind of reading?

If it is a religious ceremony, any typical bible verse or reading. If it is a civil ceremony, then really anything about love, or your relationship, or a simple quote from the internet. You could probably google typical wedding readings and I'm sure something will come up.

You could also simply just have her walk in the processional by herself. I know she's not a bridesmaid, but that would still include her and honor her.

Maybe she can read carithans love is patient love is kind

I'm trying to think about things you can do in a wedding. Could she sing you a song in the ceremony? Could she carry the rings? Could she sign the certificate with you?

Since we don't know why you are thinking not a bridesmaid, it is difficult to make a suggestion. Because to me, the most appropriate role for an adult child is in the bridal party. Jobs I personally hate and think border on insulting to the person are: guest book attendant, host, usher, honorary anything and set up/tear down.

just my opinion. It's your day and your relationship, so you would know best.

I’ve seen grandmothers toss petals and it’s very sweet. Perhaps your daughter could do the same. Many only view it as a child’s role only because that’s what we always see. But it doesn’t have to be any certain age. However, I’d use a basket without a handle, as it feels a little more mature.

View Quoted Comment I totally agree with you. My 21 year old is a bridesmaid & my 16 year old is a junior bridesmaid because I would NEVER leave her out. The 16 year old is walking down by herself but she's gonna be right there with me & her sister.
