We are having my sons give me away, but I'm walking myself down the aisle. I'll walking myself because this time - it sounds funny- but it's a big deal to consciously choose this new life. My sons were so young when the divorce happened and there's been a lot of healing. It's my choice, so I'll make the walk and show independent of everything - I choose my husband.
The boys will meet me at the front to show their acceptance and give me away - they are jr. groomsmen. Both our sons are lighting a candle for the unity candle. When we light the center candle, I'll use the 2 tapers that my sons lit. He'll use the 1 his son lit. Then we're being pronounced as a family instead of husband and wife. So, "Introducing for the first time, the Husbandslastname family." Then we're exiting as a family too. Roses to our mothers and handfasting round out the list.
Does anyone have other ideas??
