The bell would be annoying and probably not go with the processional song, and I will always say no to kids yelling anything. But as for the bell ringing/yelling, I don't care for that as much as just a kid holding a sign. I personally would not do it, as I already asked my cousin to be a RB, but I guess I'm less judgey about sign holding because, as I said, it's not that different to me when you break it down. But considering my response to this and the photographer thread on E, I might be in a bah humbug kind of mood tonight. I don't think the sign/bell ringing/yelling is that necessary or that cute. Everyone's already going to be standing and looking at her. And it's unnecessary AWing the brides march down the aisle. There are so many silly traditions with weddings that adding yet another one just seems pointless to me.

Not that it being common is a solid response to your question, but It's all I've got. I don't know. We did have two flower girls, which I guess is equally as unnecessary, but at least it's common. We didn't have one, not because we thought it was silly, but because we didn't have anyone to do it. In Response to Re: Wedding Programs- what to call my 'here comes the bride' sign holder? : I guess most people are just used to the idea of a ring bearer.

In some weddings additonal children can be incorporated by walking down the aisle with a 'here comes the bride sign' my cousin will be walking with another cousin who will ring a bell as he walks down. What is a 'here comes the bride' sign? Don't you think the guests will know you're the bride? Color me confused. I have no idea what you're talking about.
