My fiance has one son (age  , and I have 3 sons (7,5, will be 3 by the wedding date). We would REALLY like them to stand up/be important in the wedding.We already thought about making them the flower "boy", ring barer, but we are looking for 2 more ideas. This is going to be a late august 2008 wedding, they will be wearing tuxes, and we have a fall theme (deep red, burnt orange, deep green, and gold for the bridesmaids dresses), and will be dropping maple leaves instead of flowers. But we could really use some more ideas for the boys! |

| OH YEAH! there are TONS of ways for them to get into the wedding. the youngest can be the ring bearer. it is always cute to have a toddler in a tux...if he'll keep it on. The older of the four can light the candles at the alter, and the middle boy can help escourt people to their seats. Instead of having them sit down, have each of the older boys come up with you and your fiance and stand, holding a candle--the best way to do this is to give them a flameless candle. you can buy them at walmart, and local craft stores. they run on batteries, and this will keep them from being burned by the hot wax. |

| WHY NOT HAVE HIS CHILD STAND UP FRONT WITH HIM WAITING FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN AS YOU WALK DOWN TOGETHER..MEET AT THE BEGINING..AND ALL STAND TOGETHER AS A UNITED FAMILY COMMING TOGETHER. AREN'T THE KIDS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HAVING BRIDES MAIDS AND GROOMS MEN? SHOULDN'T THEY BE THE BEST MEN?(ALL OF THEM) |

| Your fiance's son could be his "best man". Your youngest could be the ring bearer. Then, your older boys can walk you down the aisle, unless you're really wanting your father to do that. If so, you could have them walk your fiance down the aisle. I've seen that done before and it's adorable. |

| Have the seven and eight year old present a speech to you and your audience during the reception while the others stand there and look pretty for your relatives. My regards to you and your new family. =) Hope everything works out great. |

| Your fiances' son could be his best man. Your 7 year old could walk you down the aisle, your 5 year old could give you away (or visa versa) and your 3 year hold could carry both set of rings. Or have your 7 and 5 year old walk you down the aisle together and both give you away and the baby could carry both set of rings. How cute would that be?? I know you probably want your Dad to walk you down the aisle, but he could be in it too. Well, it is just an idea. I know I love my sons so much that if I ever did get married, besides my husband , my sons are eveything so they would be in every aspect of my wedding. Even standing in the greeting line shaking hands. I hope when you have your wedding, you will post a few pictures. Good luck and happiness for many many years !!!!!! |

| Couple of thoughts:Have you thought of doing 2 of each? Having two boys (maybe the youngest) go down the aisle dropping leaves, and have the two oldest each carry one of the rings.Or, if you're doing an aisle runner, you could have two boys pull out /unroll the aisle runner, the way that ushers sometimes do. Then have the maple leaves dropped ... this way they set the stage for the ceremony. Third thought, if you are having a religious ceremony, you could have one of the boys carry the Bible/other religious text down the aisle, before the boy with the rings, but after two boys dropping leaves. I hope the day becomes a beautiful memory for your family. |

| You could have the 8 year old be the ring bearer, 7 year old be the flower boy, the 5 year old and 3 year old could walk together with the 5 year old holding a big sign that says 'the bride is coming' and the 3 year old ringing a bell, being the bell boy... (my 7 year old boy is the ring bearer in ours and our 2 year old will be the bell boy)...I saw pictures of a boy holding a sign that I mentioned and it was adorable. |

| I was at a wedding once where the bride and groom both had a young boy. They had the boys walk down the aisle after the maid of honor and wait at the front with the wedding party. After the brides father gave her away, they gave each of the boys a ring and had a small speech about how the wedding was joining the families together and the rings were symbols of that. Then the boys sat down with their grandparents. It was really cute and so many people had tears in their eyes. Maybe you could do something like that? |

| my sister and her husband added to their wedding vows. before saying vows to each other they each made vows to each others children (my sister has one daughter, he has 3 sons) promising to love and protect them as their own, they gave each one a small ring to symbolize the promise. it was a nice, classy, sentimental touch (more than their vows to each other). |
