Whether they’re an flower girl or ring-bearer…

And honestly… who would you rather comfort you when you get those pre-wedding jitters?

And hey, there’s always a chance you’ll get lucky with an epic photo bomb!

But be warned, they will probably be the life of the party… just don’t let them eat all the cake or drink too much!


![2-28-2014-1-46-23-PM](https://images.ctfassets.net/f60q1anpxzid/asset-96d868aea62d8dadb19a1ff01a206569/5201a8f10bdb304d9f5cf74eb5c0928f/2-28-2014-1-46-23-PM.jpg)

Just don’t forget… they loved you first, and the idea of sharing you may be ruff…

But they’ll eventually give their blessing…

Accept it’s time to let you go…
