I think it makes the position of ring bearer mean more than just having some toddler barely make it down the aisle just for "cute" factor. Still no flower girl.

Especially not with dogs. Animals and children behave erratically under pressure, no need to tempt the fates when you have no natural role-fillers for these things.<br /><br />Why don't you wear each others rings down the aisle (likely on different fingers...)? That way when you give them to each other, they'll be all warm which is a lovely metaphor to my mind.Shaynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14677671802746260768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-51958076581274200712010-02-24T19:06:49.621-08:002010-02-24T19:06:49.621-08:00My then-18-year old cousin was my flower girl beca...My then-18-year old cousin was my flower girl because the first thing she said to me after I told her I was engaged was "shotty on flower girl."
