My fiancé would like to have his son (age 6)
stand in our wedding, as I will have my children involved as
well. It will be a small church ceremony with my 12 y/o daughter
serving as my attendant, my 8 y/o son walking me down the aisle,
and my 5 y/o son as ring bearer. I believe my fiancés
brother will be handling the official duties of best man, but we
have chosen to keep the ceremony limited to ourselves and our
children.
Is this wrong? I know it's a little unorthodox
to have a 6 y/o best boy, but is it really a bad idea?
As long as he has his brother doing the
"official" duties, I see nothing wrong with having his son stand
with him. It will mean a lot to the child to be a part of the
ceremony. Consider how he would feel to see the other children
at the altar and not to be included.
Consider giving each child a piece of jewelry
or ring when you exchange rings so they too feel like they are
coming together as a family. The same if you do a Unity
Candle. Have a candle for each child to light. You may even
want to be introduced as the Smith Family.
