Little Kids Put the "Awwwww!" in Weddings

There is a surefire way to please every wedding guest, and that's by having adorable little girls and boys serve some kind of function - most commonly, throwing clumps of flower petals onto the processional path or nervously holding a ring. Little children are indispensible parts of any wedding party, and it's particularly important to include youngsters if the bride or groom already have children; including them in the festivities will help them better adjust to the new marriage status.

And let's face it: it gives children a chance to dress up in something fun and fancy and show off in front of a lot of people. Here are some of my favorite little kids from recent weddings; click on each picture to see more photos from the weddings themselves.
