What Fulshear Kids Think Wedding Traditions Are For (Keeps Me Laughing For Days!)
Photos taken by Paperbag Productions.
At Brandt 1910, a historical wedding venue just outside of Fulshear, Texas, I’ve witnessed countless fairy-tale moments unfold inside our 1910-era walls. As a wedding venue owner (and mom of two little ones), I can tell you this: kids see weddings in a way adults could never imagine.
When I’m greeting vendors, restocking bathrooms, or sneaking into place to open the grand doors just as a bride begins her walk down the aisle (my favorite part of the day!), I often overhear kids whispering about what’s going on. Their commentary? Absolutely priceless.
Because weddings aren’t only about the bride and groom. Kids bring joy, honesty, and observations that leave everyone laughing. So I asked some friends to share their children’s takes on classic wedding traditions, and—well—you’ll see why we couldn’t stop giggling.
The Garter: “It’s a Giant Rubber Band”
Eight-year-old Damon explained: “That’s a giant rubber band. You can use it to shoot confetti!”
At Brandt 1910, garters are usually just a fun little tradition. But to kids, they’re gadgets, toys, or even sports equipment. One flower girl once told me it was “a sock holder for people who forget to wear socks.” Honestly? Makes sense.
The Veil: “Her Secret Curtain”
Six-year-old Leah whispered: “It’s her secret curtain so no one can see her surprise face.”
Kids really do see veils as magical. I’ve even heard little ones ask if brides can fly with them. And truthfully, when a bride glides down the aisle at Brandt 1910 with her veil trailing behind, it does feel like watching a fairy tale come to life.
The Marriage License: “A Permission Paper”
Seven-year-old Cameron looked very serious when he said: “That’s their permission paper. Without it, they’re not allowed to hug or kiss.”
Children strip away all the complicated legalities and just see what matters: love, rules, and a little bit of romance.
The Unity Candle: “A Birthday Candle for Grown-Ups”
Five-year-old Abby said: “They’re blowing out a big candle so their wish comes true—to stay married forever!”
And honestly, that’s not far off. For kids, candles mean wishes, and what better wish could there be than a lifetime of love?
The Sweetheart Table: “The VIP Table”
Four-year-old Harrison proudly announced, “That’s where the bride and groom sit so they get all the snacks first.”
He wasn’t wrong; it is the best seat in the house. At Brandt 1910, sweetheart tables often sit beneath our tall windows or centered in the ballroom, and kids always notice how special it looks.
The “Just Married” Car Sign: “Drive Slow Sign”
Nine-year-old Mila explained: “That’s so people know to drive slow—because they just got married and don’t want to spill their cake.”
In a kid’s world, marriage means instant responsibility… and cake must always be protected.
The Wedding Registry: “Like a Toy Store List”
Five-year-old Ryder said: “It’s a big list so they can pick out everything they want—like a toy store, but with plates.”
He’s not wrong. Registries are grown-up wish lists, just with fewer Legos and more blenders.
The Card Box: “A Secret Treasure Chest”
Six-year-old Kristin guessed: “That’s a treasure chest! Everyone puts in secret notes or maybe even gold.”
Her logic wasn’t far off—guests really do tuck valuable things into the card box. (Gold optional, of course.)
The Bridal Emergency Kit: “Snack Kit With Band-Aids”
Seven-year-old Luca said: “It has crackers, Band-Aids, and maybe even a toy sword—just in case something bad happens!”
At Brandt 1910, we’ve seen plenty of real emergency kits, and while swords aren’t usually included, snacks and Band-Aids definitely are.
The Ring Bearer Pillow: “Nap Time for Rings”
Four-year-old Sarah whispered, “The pillow is so the rings can take a nap before the wedding.”
Seeing a tiny ring bearer carry “tired” rings down the aisle is exactly the kind of sweetness that makes family-friendly wedding venues in Fort Bend County TX so special.
The Ring Bearer Pillow: “Nap Time for Rings”
Eight-year-old Carter explained: “Those little people live on the cake, and they make sure it doesn’t fall over.”
At Brandt 1910, we’ve seen everything from traditional toppers to custom figures—and now we’ll always picture them as tiny cake supervisors.
