Now I’m going to be upfront with you and tell you possibly the most controversial topic that’s come about lately with our wedding:
We have chosen not to have children in or at our wedding.
There are several reasons for this, but it mainly comes down to the fact that we do not have nieces or nephews, or any children (aside from my godson) that we are very close to. We want our wedding to be filled with people we know and love.
Now this doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy an adorable flower girl or ring bearer.
Just because we’re not having them doesn’t mean I can’t share some adorably put together little kids that have walked down the aisle:
Who are they and how are they important in your life?
Edit: OH NO!!!! I just noticed my ring bearer picture never showed up on here, and it’s gone off the server AND my computer! What a sad post 🙁
I’m not married but completely respect your decision – it is supposed to be focused on you as a couple and your families / friends
I am married with kids and completely respect your decision too! Completely understandable to want it to be an adult only affair. I saw my flower girl last summer for the first time in many years and it was so great to see her although it did make me feel a little old. :[
Love this post! I stumbled across your blog on The Lovely Cupboard, and i am glad I did! My husband and i opted not to have a ring bearer or a flower girl as well. Like you, we didn’t have any little ones that we were close with. Completely understand. 🙂
Cute post. I know a lot of couples who have done the same. It’s your day…it’s your choice 🙂

@Stephanie: lol I know what you mean. Every time I see my little cousins who have grown yet another foot I feel pathetically old.
