Am I wrong for not wanting my son to be my sisters ring bearer?

My daughter was the flower girl at my brothers wedding. I didn’t agree with the marriage, they’d dated like 6 months, had only been together like 2 when he proposed. But it was important to him so I let her do it. It doesn’t take anything away from her being the flower girl at my wedding. Now she knows what to do, so it’s kind of like practice.

Uh he’s little probably won’t make it down the whole way anyway and if she wants your kiddo to be apart of the day I dont see the problem. My cousin got married years ago and her and I weren’t talking. She had our other cousin ask if my daughter could be her flower girl I said yes because that’s what you do.

Sounds like you’re in no position to judge someone’s elses relationship… For starters. Lol

What happened to sisters loving their sisters and supporting their big day just as much as your own? Regardless of how long she’s been with the man that’s your sister at the end of the day, she loves your child enough to include him and that’s soo sweet. Imagine when your sons older you get to tell him he was chose as a ring bearer TWICE! I never had a role in a wedding and I remember when I was younger I always wanted to be someone’s flower girl.

I’m just wondering because of how you worded that. When you say “has really changed her morals for this guy” Are you saying that because of the quick engagement and court house wedding? If so, I’m just wondering what either of those things has to do with morals?

You should be happy she wants your son to be part of her big day.No matters what is going on between her and man, it is her choice.
So please, don’t bring stress for no reason.
Also, being a ring bearer once will not hurt if if does it for you as well.

To answer your actual question… YES you are wrong.

You sound a little jealous. Maybe I’m reading it wrong. You say its because you want him in your wedding first, but then you go on to basically say “well she already went to the courthouse, she’s moved her morals, she moved too fast…” It is HER choice to marry him. I’m not bashing you, he’s YOUR child so whatever you decide should be respected no matter what. To say you don’t want your child involved “in something like that” ?? sorta sounds like an excuse.

I can understand if you say no because you don’t agree with her marrying this guy and you’re protesting the wedding (and not going yourself.) But if it’s just because you want him in your wedding first, then it does sound petty.

Nope I would feel the same way :woman_shrugging:t2:

You need to realize that not everyone does things by the book and you shouldn’t judge your sister for only knowing him 4 months, so they might be together forever. And yes you should let your son be their ring bearer. He can be JR best man in yours. My sister had her son get a ring in the ceremony too , they had him 2 years before they got married. I feel like there’s better ways you can incorporate your son into your own wedding

I would consider that an honor, and would be ecstatic. And how long she had known the man before getting engaged and so on does not matter, and is not a valid reason to not let him be the ring bearer so that part could have been left out of the post. And “I want him to be in my wedding first” sounds very petty and childish. I say, yes that you are wrong and honestly? Grow up. Y’all are sisters.

Idk why you guys are attacking her. For one it’s HER kid. I dont think it’s selfish at all. She has been planning her wedding and wants HER son to be in his first wedding at HER wedding. There is nothing wrong with saying no to her sister over that at all. I would be upset too and explain. Im sure they know others that can do it. It’s her kid. Not her sisters. Y’all need to quit being so narrowed minded. I see exactly why she’s upset. And they post on here for advice. Not for a bunch of hormonal judgemental women to bash them. Unbelievable with these comments.

Lindsey Moore could you imagine if I said Skye couldn’t be in your wedding cause I wanted her in mine first :joy::joy::joy: lawd .

You sound petty and jealous! And what does “something like that” even mean! That’s her husband and her business, you don’t have to like it or agree with it but you should be supportive! This could be the trial run for your son for your own wedding. After all he is only 18 months old so I wouldn’t expect things to go as planned anyways. Stop being hateful and let him be a part of his Aunts big day. :roll_eyes:

Yes, you’re selfish & petty… Be grateful she’s asked for your son. You stated about her morals really, it doesn’t matter how long she’s known this guy. The fact that she’s happy & asked for your son should be blessing of 2 families coming together. Not for you as her sister to speak of her morals; when we all aren’t perfect including yourself. Stop being petty about the smallest things in life.

I get what your saying… Your saying that from the way things are happening you don’t think the marriage is gonna last so you don’t want your son to be the ring bearer for the first time at a wedding that’s not gonna last. You would rather have him do it first at yours because you feel that it’s gonna last. And your not wrong… There are plenty of other options for a ring bearer for her wedding. He is YOUR joy. You can share him if you want and you don’t have to if you don’t want to. Everyone else on here is crazy to think you should have to share your kid with other people like that. Of course you want your day to be as special as it can with your whole family and I do think it takes away from it by having him be in her wedding first.

The kid is 18 months old. He isn’t going to remember her wedding or yours. It isn’t special for him. It will still be special for you for him to be in your wedding. Seriously this sounds like the virginity argument. Just because you aren’t his first doesn’t mean you aren’t special​:open_hands::upside_down_face::roll_eyes::joy:

Just let him do it its good practice for him for yours. Yes it does sound selfish of you to do this.

YOUR kid, YOUR decision. Simple as that? :thinking:

He is your child, you have every right to say no!!! Whatever your reason is! Anyone who says differently is wrong! Not to mention I dont know why you would want a child this young! They are so unpredictable! I have seen many children throw tantrums and be cranky!

OMG at 18 months by then maybe two I don’t even think he hardly knows how to walk nevermind go down and carry something on a pillow and I know for a fact that job one of my grandsons was only just turned two at my son and and daughter-in-law’s wedding and that was hard enough cuz they don’t know what to do and they just in our name a cry you know and take away from the whole wedding so don’t have a ring bearer or find somebody that’s a little older

Yeah you sound jealous and petty to me. You should feel honored that she wants her nephew involved in her wedding so bad. Not only that but its your sister and her special day, why wouldnt you want to oblige? Its not going to hurt anyone in any way, shape or form, nor will it take away from him being the ring bearer at your wedding. If anything your sisters wedding is the practice round for him. By the time your wedding comes he’ll be a ring bearing pro.

If you dont want your son in the wedding just say no. 18 months is to young to expect him to carry out the duties. And you are having your wedding. No ,sorry get a 3 or 5 year old .cute but more able to do the job.

Sounds petty af. Lol. Just cause he would be in her wedding doesnt mean he cant be part of yours anymore. Plus most people would be happy that their kids are wanted to be part of it and involved. Sounds more like a “me first thing” then a problem with her wanting him in the wedding.
Also, you have an 18 month ol baby from a previous relationship and your engaged. So you shouldnt be judging that its “to soon” for her when your moving pretty quick yourself.

I had a similar problem. Me and my husband wanted my step daughter to be bridesmaid at our wedding and her mum said no at first because she wanted her to be bridesmaid for her first when she eventually got married. Most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. She also wouldnt let her be flower girl to my brother in law for the same reason. With a lot of arguments, mediation and eventually court. She was a bridesmaid at our wedding. She always talks about it and I’m so happy she could be there. I am still upset that her mother wouldnt allow her to come to the reception. But at least she was there for the wedding. I would say let him be ring bearer they probably thought youd be pleased if they asked him to do that.

Yes it is selfish lol shouldnt matter, it’s your sister and her special day. What does it take away from yours if he does both and why does which order he does it matter? Sorry seems pretty petty to me. Also what does it matter how long they have known each other or if they eloped and are now doing something big. I’m so glad I would never judge my sister the way you are judging yours so harshly. You should be proud she wants her nephew in her wedding party, she clearly loves him very much because that’s an honor.

Ultimately, he is your baby and it’s your decision. With that being said, I think it’s great that you have family that want to involve each other in things! I thinks it’s a little unfair for you to assume that their marriage won’t last. You truly do not know that. You should be more positive and pray it does last for her. I understand you wanting him in your wedding first. It would not really matter to me about who’s wedding he is in first. This is just all my opinion tho.

I feel like he could play a more important special role than that at your wedding? Like you could make something special just for him or he could be your fiance’s best man or he could walk with you down the isle or something like that. It’s up to you at the end of the day and you feel how you feel. But I dunno it could be special to have him be a part of your sister’s wedding.

Sounds like you’re jealous that her wedding is before yours and that her wedding might take the attention off of yours… Family is family… And no one knows if her marriage will work out just like nobody knows if your marriage will work out.

What. So your seriously going to judge your sister and her relationship AND take offense to her wanting your child to be in her special day. All she was doing was wanting someone who is special to her to be in her special day. So what if they only knew eachother for 4 months. I was engaged to my husband in 1 we were pregnant in 2. Been together 4 years and our strength has never wavered. You need to do some serious lookin into your heart sweetie. Your sister is literally a best friend for life that shares your blood.
