    Hi everyone!  I'm new to this site and need advice from people other than my family on this one.  I can't decide whether or not to have a ring bearer and flower girl(s) at my wedding.  My sister has two little girls (ages 6 & 7) and a little boy (age 2--will be one month away from 3 yrs. old by the wedding), and I know she is expecting me to ask them to be my flower girls and ring bearer.  The problem that I have is that they are not well-behaved children, especially the boy.  He hardly ever minds adults--especially anyone other than his parents, and sometimes even that's a stretch.  The girls can be good, but they tend to get their little brother going, and then all 3 of them are arguing.  I don't want them being disrespectful or causing a scene at my wedding, but I'm also afraid that if I don't ask them to be in the wedding, my sister will really get her feelings hurt and I don't want that either.  Please help!

    As for the little boy, if he's a little disruptive, I would see it as being cute. Even if the little girls were somewhat unorganized, that would be considered cute to me. At my sisters wedding, my two nieces stopped dead center in the middle of the aisle and started yelling at one another that "you aren't throwing the petals right". It was completely darling and no one seemed to mind. However, I would suggest that after they make their way down, have an adult family member or friend to "retrieve them" and let them sit in the pews for the duration of the ceremony. That seems to be when they get the most bored and restless!

    Thanks for your input!  That's a good idea--to let them sit with someone during the ceremony.  I'll mull it over with my fiance.  Thanks again.
