text: it's not common anymore - but in England, it used to be a tradition to have young boys and/or girls "carry" the train in formal weddings. This was generally because they were so long (think Princess Di). \n\nThey could be called page boys, bridal attendants, flower girls, etc. I did attend one wedding were this was done, and the wedidng had an angel theme, so the girls were called Angel Attendants and each wore a small pair of white angel wings.
