Blended families

My dad got remarried last weekend. The youngest child was 12 And the rest of us were older teens/I'm 24. So it was a little different than the usual blended family dynamic. But there were five daughters and we were the bridal and groom party (with my one female cousin to even out my dad's side). We started at the end, youngest to oldest, and passed one Rose from girl to girl, and then gave it to the opposite parent (I gave it to his wife, her oldest daughter gave one to my dad). We didn't tell them beforehand, it was a surprise her mom came up with. They loved it! It was a comfortable level of unity for me, as my parents only divorced a couple years ago and I already lived on my own. I actually really appreciated it!

Sand ceremony with my daughter. She's also doing a first look with FH, as a surprise. He will love it! It was her idea!

FH's sons are 11 and 14 and they will walk their dad down the aisle.

My daughter (step daughter not fond of the word) will be apart of our ceremony. She is a jr bridesmaid and will be standing by my side. I will be giving her a ring during the ceremony. She will also be introduced with us. This marriage is about her as much as it is about me and FH!!! Good luck and have so much fun!

We found a Unity Puzzle on Etsy and are doing that with the kids.

Wow, I'm just seeing all these wonderful comments. I haven't seen a unity puzzle but that seems like such a great idea. I love it!!

We are going to have a private moment together immediately following the ceremony as a newly blended family. FH is going to present my daughter with a piece of jewelry.

My son (13) is the Jr GM, our kids (2and 6) will be flower girl and ring bearer. In the reception we are doing the bride and groom dance first and then one family dance.

We are doing the sand ceremony. I let my step son help me choose which vase we like. My step son will be a groomsmen and my step daughter is flower girl

My dad and his FW are getting married next week. They want to have us stand with them in place of their BP. She thinks it's like we're all welcoming everyone into the family without leaving anyone out.

My FH is escorting my mom down the aisle, my brother is giving me away, our grandmother's are our flower girls! My FH parents are still a couple and around so they will walk down the aisle together

My FH and I have discussed this and we have decided to keep the vows between us. He has a daughter and I consider her to be my own. I care for her and LOVE her as if I gave birth to her. Because I have done this, we decided we didn't want to put it in her head that things will change just because we are getting married. My love for her will stay the same and grow as time moves on, she knows that and we want to keep it that way. That's just how we felt about it. As I see many have other opinions.

Can't figure out what to do. My oldest girl is 9 years old. My youngest is four. My oldest is by my ex husband and my youngest is by my ex boyfriend. My ex boyfriend has raised the oldest as his since her dad left when she was three. Unfortunately my girls lost their dad (my ex boyfriend)a few weeks ago. My fh and i are getting married in a year and i feel even more like we need to do something special not only to join our family together but something tp honpr their dad and his memory. Would really love some help.

FH doesn't have any kids but my daughter is my mini bride...also here is our cake topper

My FH is not having groomsmen, his 3 daughters will stand on his side. My daughter and 2 sons will stand on my side. Our wedding party consists of only us and our children

All our kids have honor attendant status. My 17 year old daughter and his 18 year old daughter are my co-maids of honor, and his 22 year old son and my 15 year old son will stand up for him. We're doing a sand ceremony, as well.
