[GCFL-discuss] children in weddings

[Discussion of the Good, Clean Funnies List]

I think it all depends.

Our wedding was filled with family, friends, church acquaintances and lots of children.  We are the kind of people that have a large investment in the lives of kids and it was as true when we were 19 and 20 as it is now at 44 and 46.  We couldn't imagine a wedding without children as that would have been foreign to the way we lived our lives.  So including children in our wedding party was as much a part of who we were as what we were actually accomplishing that day.

So for you, the questions include:
Are there special children in your life that you would like to have be a part of the story of your ceremony?
Are you the kind of people that have children around you in general?
How will it be if the children in your ceremony garner more attention than your wife?  Than the words of the ceremony?  (Will your ceremony be solemn and formal?)
Lots of weddings are kid-friendly and others don't even have kids invited at all.  Neither is right or wrong.
So the real question is not what do people think (there is a different opinion for every person who answers your question), but what will your wedding be like?

  That poses a question, though. What do people think of having children 
  (flower girls and ring bearers in particular) in the ceremony. I've been 
  thinking about weddings lately, and wondering what mine will be like. I 
  don't think I want children to be a part of the ceremony, but I'm open to 
  it. What do people think?
