Children can be wonderful participants in your wedding ceremony. As a wedding minister that helps couples with children plan their weddings, here are just four roles for kids in weddings for ages from one to ten years. Below are the typical roles for boys and girls- ring bearer and flower girl.  

                               

      You may also use a young boy or girl to herald the entrance of the bride as a Bell Ringer as seen at bottom left. Just before the bride enters, this child walks down the aisle ringing a glass or porcelain bell proclaiming- The Bride Is Coming! The Bride Is Coming! This delights audiences and they typically applaud the little boy or girl.  And yes, the youngest of your guests can be in your wedding too as seen below at right. Pulled by an usher in a bright little red wagon, this little one year old also delighted the audience as she made her entrance.
