The Royal Wedding Party

Are you keeping up with all the details of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s April 29, 2011 wedding, well, if you are, then you know that they announced their bridal party on Monday.  Now, clearly it was no surprise that Prince William’s brother Harry will be his best man and Kate’s sister, Philippa will be her maid of honor.  I’m sure many of you were surprised to learn that their bridal party are all children.  Did you know that it is a tradition to have children in your bridal party for British royal weddings?

Kate’s bridesmaids range in age from 8, 7 and 3.  Prince William’s page boys, (groomsmen in the US), range in age from 10 and 8.  I think this is a lovely tradtion and today I thought it fitting to share some of my favorite “kid moments” from a few of our beautiful weddings.


Would you consider having children as your bridesmaids and groomsmen, please share your thoughts with us in the comment section!
