She is insisting that they come down the isle separately and stand with the rest of the wedding party during the ceremony. When it comes to weddings, the behavior of children participants, especially very young children, can be very unpredictable. Some children bask in the limelight and enjoy the attention, but other children become frightened to walk down an aisle in front of all the guests. I would suggest that you explain to your cousin that while you would love for your children to be in her wedding, you feel that your children may be more comfortable walking down the aisle together and not separately. Walking together will make them more comfortable and increase the possibility of them getting down the aisle without tears.
Ceremonies can be too long for children to stand without becoming fidgety.
You may want to suggest to your cousin that the children sit down during the ceremony. They can either sit with you or on the front pew. After the ceremony, they can participate in the recessional with the rest of the wedding party. Q. My fiance and I don't want to serve alcohol at our wedding reception. You can have an alcohol-free wedding reception and serve your guests sparkling waters, juices or sodas.
