Sometimes a wedding couple gets pressure from their families to include every niece, cousin, and neighbor's kid in their wedding. Sometimes they put their foot down (like they should) and sometimes they give in and end up with 2 flower girls, a miniature bride, 8 bridesmaids, and 3 jr. bridesmaids.
Basically the main purpose is to include as people as possible in the wedding party so that people's feelings don't get hurt. It's a bad idea in my opinion, but everyone does things their own way.

jr bride or mine bride is what it's called. Not sure if you mean Jr. Bridesmaids. Those are two totally different things. Jr. Bridesmaids/Jr. Groomsmen are like your teenagers in the wedding. Mini-brides and grooms are miniture Bride and Groom. They can wear a dress as a flower girl, but they do not throw flowers. But they can be the same age or younger. It's more for show, especially if you have kids you want to be in the wedding, and dont' know where to put them. Sometimes mini-brides are called princess, and in a lil carrage or wheel barrow and being pulled by the mini-groom if possible, or they walk down the aisle together. My lil bro was a mini-groom yeaaaaaaaaars ago and walk down togheter. The mini bride doesn't have to wear a veil at all. It's a cultural thing. A lot of Jamaicans, Hispanics and Romanians do it. I think there's other cultures too.
Having the children dress like miniatures and all, but remember - its just a "symbol" or "gesture" of the significants the children play or will play in the couple's life (no proversions intended here, just the JOINING or better yet, CREATING a new family). In some cases, they are children too old to play the traditional role of flower girl & ring bearer (around 8-12).

During the ancient times, Brides maids and jr brides were involve in the wedding ceremony to become cons. This is to confuse the demon who the real bride is, and so, the demon cannot attack and take away the real bride. This is an ancient belief that is being practiced until now, but a lot of people don't know about this.
At present, the purpose of the jr bride is just to be adorable! It is tradition.

I've never heard of a junior bride. I have heard of junior bridesmaids. Do you mean the flowergirl? The flowergirl's job, in general, is to walk down the aisle dropping rose petals for the bride before she walks down the aisle. She basically acts as a cute little accessory for the wedding and it's also a great way to include family member or close friend's child.

No real reason. A lot of times if the couple or bride or groom has a daughter they will do this so she is included in the wedding in a big way. Besides being a flower girl

Was the child a flower girl? Sometimes flower girl dresses look like mini-wedding gowns. If she was carrying a basket and dropping flower petals, then she was probably the flower girl. The flowers are supposed to represent fertility, and the post is entirely optional.
If she was simply a miniature version of the bride, then I have no clue.

"in the past the tip of 2010" and next April are decrease than 4 months aside. Why could no longer you have the marriage in 2010 at your father and mom' abode? till they're interior the corporation of renting out their abode for social purposes, there should not be a conflict. are you able to get married then positioned on a pretend instruct pretending to get married in front of your loved ones & friends? sure, as long as you hit upon an officiant which will go alongside with it. yet is that truly the excellent ingredient to do? No. mendacity to your loved ones isn't perfect. I grant you 2 concepts: a million - flow the marriage as much as 2010, get married now so which you're being undemanding with all and sundry yet in addition finding out to your scientific needs. 2 - be undemanding which comprise your loved ones, tell them why you will desire to do the criminal area now & ask for their expertise & help to your non secular wedding ceremony ceremony later. do no longer fake to be single -- that on my own can create a real sticky tax subject for you in 2010. in case you legally marry you will desire to document a joint tax return or a "married submitting one by one" tax return and tax fraud isn't incredibly.

Her purpose is to look cute and adorable.
The miniature bride is usually a young relative of either bride and groom. Usually either bride or groom wants to have her included in some way.
And her purpose is to be cute!

My daughters for my wedding are going to have the same dress as me but in a smaller version. I want to make them special on the day as it's their day too not just mine.
It's the day their dad & their mum join together as one family, even though we already are a family.

I've never heard of this. I know that flower girls will wear white, but jr bridesmaids will usually be dressed like the other maids/matrons.
