Auntie Role?

I have a dilemma. I am not sure what role my aunt should play in my wedding. My mom has 13 brothers and sisters but I have a special relationship with this one particular aunt. She is the youngest of my mom's 13 siblings and she stayed with my family for a little while when I was a kid. She is also the person helping me plan my wedding because she is the only person I know who lives in the city where the wedding will take place.

I already have a Maid of Honor, Matron of Honor, 6 bridesmaids, and 2 Jr. Bridesmaids. Also, on my "bridesmaid side", there is already 1 more person than the "groomsmen side" so anything else would make it really unbalanced. My wedding coordinator said that Candle Lighters are usually younger people so that crossed that off the list. She also will have a different dress because she has already gotten her fabric to have a special dress made for the occasion in the colors of our wedding.

What types of roles are available for Godmother/Aunt in a wedding ceremony!

    If you are doing Bible readings you could have her do a reading.
    Do you have a poem that you really like that means a lot to you and your FH? If so, have her read it. Hopefully that is a little helpful!

    This is a very good one for me as my life is filled with amazing aunties...I agree with a reading, or perhaps highlighting them somehow in the program or during the reception?

    One of my aunts and I are really close. She is almost like a second mom to me. I'm also an only child so she fills in the times I need an older sister, as well.

    She's actually my MOH, but I am sure there are tons of other ways to incorporate your aunt into your special day.

    Like LauraAnn said she can do a reading or be an assistant with the guestbook or programs or anything.

    I know your wedding coordinator said that it's typically younger individuals that do certain tasks, but it's still your wedding. You can have an adult male as your flower girl if you wanted to. Like this guy: http://offbeatbride.com/2008/08/dana-jay-bein

    A reading is definitely a great place for an aunt/godmother. I plan to ask my godfather to do one of our readings.

    You might also want to make sure you put a special thank you to her in your programs.

    I agree with everyone above - a special reading and/or a special thank you to her in the program.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Beroy Women's Fitness Shorts

I’m so proud to  #partner  with  #Beroy  Women’s Fitness Wear as I kick off summer, a new half year, and my 3rd quarter goals! As many of us attempt to get our bodies in shape or increase our health and fitness for all of the summer time activities that lie ahead, working out in comfortable, breathable, fashionable gear is a top priority. T hese shorts are  #comfortable ,  #affordable , and  #cute ! And they have other options also specifically for  #running ,  #yoga ,  #tennis , or whatever your sport of choice is! Do you ever feel like it's hard to find a good selection of fitness gear that is easy on the pockets but doesn't sacrifice quality? I sure do! And what a pain it is to shell out tons of money for something that is not meeting up to the standards of what you paid for it. I'm grateful to be able to say that this was not the case with these cute little shorts! The fit was true to size, the product came quickly, and after a few...

BUSINESS REVIEW: Panera Bread, Greenville, SC (Haywood Mall)

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! I had the very best experience today at Panera Bread at Haywood Mall in Greenville, SC. Managers Marc, Susie, and Keith and the rest of the staff made it very hard for any other Panera to impress me more than they did today!! I am officially #TeamStore654 Panera also has this new "Fast Lane" and "Rapid Pick Up" system that makes the experience super convenient and easy! Who doesn't LOVE easy? With the fast lane, you walk in and order from a Kiosk (read: ipad) and everything is right there in words and pictures for you to select. With the "Rapid Pick Up," everyone with a mobile device essentially becomes a cash register. You order through your phone and when you arrive to the store, your order is waiting for you in the "Rapid Pick Up" section. Easy Breezy! THE GOOD: ~ Free Cookie for using the Kiosk - This might only be for a limited time but every time I used the kiosk today, they gave me a free cookie! No e...
