My FH and I would like to do more to include our daughter in our ceremony. She is in the bridal party and she is also singing a solo. I read something briefly about a family unity candle ceremony. I also found a wonderful article on this site which speaks of the family medallion. (Thanks Rosetta) I'm thinking about doing this. However, I always like to have as many options to choose from as possible. Does anyone have any other suggestions of including children in the wedding ceremony?

Well me and my FH are going to recite vows to my daughter after we say our vows to each other. Then we are going to present her with a gold band of her own. I feel that this way we will be uniting ourselves as a family unit. I am so excited abt this. We are also going to get her a necklace with a charm on, engraved with the date and our names/initals. She is only 4, but I think she will understand what is going on...
Be Blessed.....
How nice, sounds very special Lenny :-)
Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.
Hi Laneirh, I think what you and your FH are doing is absolutely precious. Although your daughter is only 4, she will understand and remember that moment for the rest of her life. It is so important to include the children. Thanks for sharing.

Charlotte did you just give me a nickname? Lenny? If so, that is what I call my daughter sometimes (her middle name is Elaine). You are a trip girl. :) Thanks for what you and Rhonda said. It has been a wonderful blessing for me to find a man that is willing to except me and my child (he is not the father). For him to be so loving and caring with her, would only make it fitting that we do something special on that day. On that day I will finally have the family that I always dreamed of for myself....
Be Blessed.....
That is truly wonderful Laneirh -- you are blessed. I can't wait to see the pictures of your special day!
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37

Be Blessed.....
I agree in the end it will all work out!
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
Ya know when you will feel a massive sigh of relief...when you get right in front of the altar after your entrance....it will set in that it's all over and its ok to exhale. I know been there done that!
Charlotte wishes you all a beautiful Christmas filled with loads of love, laughter and the true meaning of this blessed season.
All right now, that's exactly what I am going to do when I'm at the alter. This sister is going to EXHALE and then work it out on the dance floor at my reception!
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
Reception relaxation is what I am looking forward too myself. Actually I am looking forward to seeing my man look at me for the first time as his new bride. I can always see the intense look in his eyes (the love look). Also my daughter will be all giggles...she loves this man in our lives...and I love him too...I'm just so excited about the whole blessed event...
Be Blessed.....
I know that's right Laneirh -- I can't wait to see my honey give me "the love look" also. That is going to be the highlight of the evening!!!!
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37

Thank you Charlotte, I have gone through so much to get to the point where I am -- I am enjoying the journey girlfriend and after we say our vows I am going to just enjoy that beautiful moment -- I just hope I will be able to maintain some self control (lol)!
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
Let me tell you something right now.....you will cry like a baby, just because what you went thru all this will set in and the realization of the moment will take you by storm, just ensure your attendants have a lot of napkins available for the tears. All in all, you will be beautiful. Blessings!
