he is going to be the ring barer and he may pull his sister down the isle in a wagon

like a special day that just of the two of you go do everything he wants to do before the wedding... this will allow both of yall to bond
it seems like you are the outdoors type of family so maybe adopt a tree and have it planted at the wedding cermony in the family name... put a small plaque on the ground with your wedding date and family names... then as your family growns that tree will be a special place

Having him pull his sister in a wagon is a GREAT idea!!! After your vows you can ask him to come up and say something special to him. But remember he is 4 so a lot of that stuff might be over his head, you would be doing it for the on-lookers and to be able to tell him one day about it and how special he is to you. Maybe ask him if there is something special he would like to do that day. See what he comes up with!! Kids can be very creative and it will mean a lot to him that you asked and if you take his advice he will stand pround during that moment. Good luck!!!

Pulling her down the aisle will be very cute. Ok, I've heard of people saying vows to not only their spouse to be but to their soon to be step children as well. And, when my cousin remarried instead of the preacher introducing them at the end of the wedding as Mr. and Mrs. ??????, he said "the ???? family" Made my little cousin feel like she was still part of the family. Good Luck

Of course he gets to hold the rings, right? And why not write your own vows and include something special that you say just to him and for him? Like you are lucky to have him and his daddy and you hope he knows you will be there for him anytime he needs you, etc. I think your wedding ideas are great! Good luck to you and God Bless your marriage.

a cool idea is having a kids table at the reception. have a table just set up for kids with crayons, candy and small toys so your stepson can enjoy himself. also, you could buy him a necklace or another special gift and give it to him during the ceremony, and use it as an oppurtunity to welcome him as your son

Just make sure he's included. For my son were going to dress him in a tux, and he'll also sit at the sweetheart table with us.

Include him and that will make him feel special. also i dont know hoe good of a relantionship you have with his mother, but if it is an ok one i would invite her too. its a good way of saying we love you and we want to start a new family and include you. and that you arent trying to take his dad away from him or him away from his mother.

make him the ring bearer or a jr. grooms man or ask him to walk you down the aisle.
Good luck
