children before marriage

[pmolson]

Me and my fiance have two children and I am wondering how to incorparate our boys into our ceremony. (to make them feel imortant) Please send me any ideas u have. Thanks:)

You could make them ring bearers or junior GMs. I have seen some people actually write "vows" or promises to be good parents to the kid(s), usually that would be done if it was a step parent coming into the picture though (not when both the bride and groom are the bio parents).

You could do a family sand ceremony, everyone pours a different color sand into a jar.

What Melissa suggested was great. It all depends on the ages of the boys. One of the girls on this board did the sand ceremony and she said it turned out beautiful and special. Let us know what you decide to do and welcome to onewed!

depends on how old your boys are> our son is going to be 13 so we have made him into a JGM. and our daughter into the JBM she is going to be 12.

YOu could have them in your BP or as RB or maybe you could have your sons give you away that would be nice. and have your father meet you half way down the isle and have your sons hand you to your father then your father hand you off to your FH best of luck to you

My fiance's daughter will be in out wedding as a flower girl, but we are incorporating her into our "rose ceremony".
I have seen it in some wedings where the children of the bride and groom are given a present at the ceremony to incorporate them.

Depending on where your having your ceremonies some churches have special cermonies where kids are involved such as a step parent situation or where kids came before the vows. I'm in a similar boat I have to young boys ages 5 and 3 at the time of the wedding they'll be 6 and 4...Anyhow, My fiance is taking on the role of #1 step dad and we're going to incorporate them into the vows. Something to the affect of we are promising (both of us) to the boys as to how we are going to support eachother and help eachother to help the boys through everything. I haven't decided on the wording yet but we're going to actually have them added to the traditional wedding vows. You could do this as well to your kids too even though these are both of yours' children.

Me and Joe did this...I would highly recommend it!
Since Joe already had a son (4), and we had a son together ( 8 months), we figured that this would be very special! It was too!

My FH and I have four kids between us. Two girls, two boys. We are having the in the wedding as our flower girls and ring bears. The won't be carrying the rings though, they will acutally be ushers for our flower girls.
