Some people politely request that children are left at home for their weddings because they are worried that a crying baby could disrupt them in the middle of their vows, or an unruly toddler could stand on the bride’s veil and a major upset would ensue. But there are others who think that there is nothing better than a child walking down the aisle throwing flowers, or entrusting them to hand the rings to the groom, and this is made even more special if it’s the child of the people who are getting married.

Many celebrities have chosen to include their children on their wedding day (dressing them in custom-made designer suits and dresses), and this could be because one of their parents has decided to get married again, or perhaps because the future bride and groom chose to go the untraditional route and have children before marriage. But whatever the reason, the thing that remains the same is how these cuties manage to steal the show.

Below are 20 celebrity kids who played an adorable role in their parents' wedding, from Ashlee Simpson’s son, who walked her down the aisle during her wedding to Evan Ross, to other celeb kids who served as ring bearers, flower girls, and even a mini bridesmaid or best man.

The two-month-old baby was photographed in her mama’s arms, who cradled her while wearing a white Alexander McQueen dress, but it appears that she was also a part of the celebrations, as you can see her sitting on her granny Oracene’s lap.

The publication also notes that when the pair exchanged their vows, their children (they have two children each from previous relationships) were a part of the ceremony. “It’s the six of us,” Anstead told People. “So it was really important for them to be a part of it.”
