How do I ask?

I am getting married really soon and I have decided I would like my son to walk me down the isle :)
He is 9 !, I am after 'cool' ways to ask him and an age appropriate way to tell him how important this role is hence me choosing him :) hallpppp

Be careful. You haven’t mentioned the relationship with his father. He may feel torn about it even if his dad is passed or on good terms.
I think it’s a lovely idea but I’d just want to be really sure he’s comfortable

I was a bridesmaid for mum and hated it. I didn't want to be in a wedding joining mum to someone who wasn't my dad. Maybe just have an honest conversation with him about whether he would like to be in it or not. Telling him in a 'cool' way and making it very important force's him to do it regardless of how he feels.

Yes, you need to consider if father is in the picture, if so, it’s kind of a slap in the face and the more special you make it, the more pressure to conform to your wishes.
