I was pretty much obligated to have my little cousin as the ring boy in my wedding party like right when I got engaged. The thing is that he's the type of child that is glued to his parents and I'm worried that he won't even want to take pictures with us, but I know that if I tell my aunt that I don't think that he'll be able to take on the task (which is a nice way of telling him that he can't be in the wedding party anymore)that she'll be really offended and hold it against me, because she's the type of person that would. So I'm kinda confused on what to do, any suggestions???????

you shouldn't be obligated to do anything really... that's something I really don't like.. you HAVE to have this person because... well.. it's your choice and if you don't feel that the person is up to the 'position' then i would talk to his aunt and explain it all.. how you feel, blah blah blah.. does the little guy have his outfit or anythign for the wedding? if not, it's not the biggest loss.. it's not like his mum spent money on it yet.

Not sure if this will help at all.

Julianna is right, you shouldn't feel obliged to have him as a ring boy, especially if it was forced upon you!  It's your wedding and if you feel that the little guy is going to cause problem then you have to speak up and let them know before you go any further with the planning.  Either that or let him do his part in the church but let the parents know that he doesn't have to be there when you are taking the wedding pics.  You can take some with him when you guys get to the reception.
