To think she should've asked?

[poptartprincess]

SIL has recently announced that she is getting married next october. My DH and his siblings don't have a relationship with their father. Because of this she hasn't got anyone to walk her down the isle. My MIL has just told me that SIL has decided DD is going to walk her down the isle. SIL absolutely adores DD and I do understand that, however she won't even be 2 at the date of the wedding and this makes me rather nervous. Is it unreasonable to think maybe she should've asked me instead of telling me?

How is a two year old going to walk her down the aisle?

Would it not be better for her mum to walk her down the aisle?

I find this rather strange!

I think she’s making an odd choice, but it is sweet. I agree she should have asked though. If I were you I would let it go ahead, but have strategies for managing your DD so she isn’t overwhelmed.

Had she actually decided this or just said it jokingly to your mum?

She's not her DD, she can't just decide that.

Your DH could offer to walk his DSis down the Aisle with DD. I think it is sweet but obviously DSil doesn't have much experience with DC.

Also has DSil mentioned/asked DH and he hasn't remembered to tell/ask you?

I think in practise it would just look like your SIL walking down the aisle with a flower girl. At that age I would be worried about the kid bolting halfway, or getting too nervous and teary beforehand to go through with it, to be honest!

It's serious apparently. And DH had no idea until I spoke to him. She doesn't have any experience with DCs other than DD for a few hours every couple of weeks. At least I'm not the only one who hinks it's a bit odd

At 2 my eldest wouldn't have left my side with so many people around! I'd just go with it for now, then nearer the time just say breeezily 'oh and if she decides not to, I'll have to come with her!'....sometimes people have crazy wedding ideas and they don't ever materialize
