    Please help me out on this! This has been a hot topic at our house since we first got engaged in Oct 2005. My fiance wants his boys 14 and 12 (at time of wedding) to dress exactly like him. I told him no! If they were lil bitty boys then I probably wouldn't mind. They can have on tux with coordinating colors but they can not be dress exactly like you or the wedding party. My fiance said that the boys would be his best men if he had his way. My bridemaids refuse to be escorted by boys. I told my fiance that they can escort our mothers. He didn't give me an answer. When we first got engaged I told him that the boys could place the runner down for me. He told me that that job wasn't good enough for them! He also wants them to be in EVERY PICTURE!!!!!! HELP ME PLEASE!!

    I think it would be fine for them to be dressed like him.  Perhaps they could be jr. groomsmen as well.  I am not sure what you mean by every picture?  I am also becoming a stepmom but our kids are younger.  Honestly I don't think it's that big of a deal, your guests will know he's the groom and that they are his kids regardless of the way that they dress. I guess I don't see it being that big of a deal?  I also don't really think your bridesmaids should have a choice on who escorts them, it's your decision not theirs.

    Hey Crebre80, thanks for replying! I thought about them being jr. groomens but I have no jr. bridemaids. He thinks that they should be in every bridal party picture that the photographer will be taking right after the ceremony. Maybe I'm making a big deal out of it because he is.

    Oh yeah, he should be in every bridal party picture and honestly i'd just stick the bridesmaids with them and tell the girls to deal with it.

    My sons were Jr. groomsmen and I only had a MOH..they stood next to my husband during the ceremony and one handed us the rings when it was time..my oldest (13) walked me down the aisle...the middle one (11) handed us the rings and the youngest one stood there and at one point crammed his hands down the front of his pants!!! it was a great day!

    I just asked my fiance about it again and he said that he won't mind if the boys escorted my mom down the aisle. Honestly I don't know that the kids of either bride or groom should be in every picture that the wedding party takes. I thought when we did our family pictures (his family, my family then our new family) that the boys would definitely be included. Not the ones with me and my bridemaids, me and the groomsmen, etc.

    oh i gotcha, i was thinking him and the groomsmen etc... i definitely wasn't thinking they'd be in the pictures with you and your girls? i betcha he wasn't either and he just wanted to include them in everything. is his mom still alive? could they serve as ushers perhaps?

    i think jr groomsmen are the perfect place for them... i am using my 2yr old as my mini maid of honor, and as for bridesmaids refusing to walk with certain people they have no choice... this is a wedding procession not a date...

    I am sorry but I don't see the problem. My fiance has a daughter that is 12 from a previous relationship and she will be a Jr. bride's maid--she will wear what the other bride maid will wear.  his son;s can be Jr. groom's men and they should wear a similar version of what the other grooms men have on.. His children a re big part of his life and he wants them to take a ctive part in the wedding ceremony. what about the younger one being the ring bearer??

    oh and the pic thing? they won't be in every pic there will be a variety and any good photographer will say to swwitch it up and mix it up a bit. Dont worry things will be fine.
