How did you include your child/children?

We have a son and daughter that were 7 and 8 when we got married. Our son was the best man and daughter was maid of honor.

My 5 year old immediately asked me to be the flower girl. She is sooooo excited lol.

My step-daughter is our flower girl and I'm going to acknowledge bringing her into my life in our ceremony.

Haha @Amber it's so cute how much little girls love being flower girls! @Sarah are you speaking yourself?

And @abbiell that is so sweet to have your kids as best man and maid of honor!

My boys will escort our mothers down the aisle. My oldest is from a previous relationship and will walk with fmil ("step"gramma) and my youngest will walk my mum.

We decided against anything else because fh and I have our youngest together. We are a family already, fh has been in my older son's life since he was 3, now 8. Been a more present parent in all aspects then his bio dad.

I'm going to follow this post... I have a almost 6 year old from a previous relationship and we both have a daughter together that just turned one. We want to include them somehow but don't know how except for ring bear and flower girl, but I think our little girl is too young for that. I was thinking of this... yes it copied and pasted but its something similar to look onto what I want to do.

"Officiant: These sacred vows are not just between Keisha and Corey because you will not only be a new couple, you will be a new family. So Zechariah and Kyliah, will you please join us now for the special family rites of this wedding.

[Keisha and Corey turn to face kids as they stand in front of them. Corey speaks as he puts heart necklaces on the kids]

Kids: "Thank you for sharing Mommy with me, loving me and allowing me to love you with all of my heart. I was not there when you took your first steps, but I promise that now I will love and support you in every step that you take in your life. These necklaces are a symbol of our love and devotion to the two of you.

I love you, Zechariah and I am devoted to making your life full of happiness and accomplishments, nurturing your creativity, encouraging your independence, and making sure you always know what a gift you are to this world.

I love you, Kyliah and I am devoted to making your life full of happiness and accomplishments, ensuring that you thrive to your fullest potential, and that while you reach for the sky, you remain grounded by the love of our family and our home."

Officiant: Zechariah, please come stand by me as we marry Mommy and Corey/Daddy. We want you to have a front row seat.

Corey and Keisha, please join hands and face each other so that you can look into each other's eyes and see the beauty of what is about to happen.

Zechariah, please hand this ring to your Dad to give to Maddy.

I promise to love, to honor, and to listen as you tell me of your thoughts, your hopes, your fears, and your dreams.

I promise to love you deeply and truly because it is your heart that moves me, your head that challenges me,

Our kids is our wedding party

We have 5 and our children make up our bridal party. My daughter is next to me and his sons are next to him. We don't care we are un-even its all about becoming a family

I have 2 kids and my FH has 2. My oldest (son) and his oldest (daughter) will be 17, and our youngest his daughter and my daughter will be 10 and 11

I will have them walk down the isle, the oldest together and the youngest together. For us, because we have 4 between us, it will be too much to do more with them, but I want to include them in the ceremony for sure

He has two and I have three they are our wedding party.

Have a decorative marriage license certificate made (not the real one) and have your kids "sign" as witnesses during the ceremony. It's so cute and makes for great photos!

My 7 year old son (who will be 8 by the wedding) will either walk me down the aisle or carry a sign that says "Hey Matt, last chance to run" or "Hey Matt, her comes your bride" or something. I was looking at pictures on google and he saw that (the run away one) and said that is what he wanted to do. Not sure how I feel about it yet...

My son will carry a sign that says the bride is coming or something along those lines ( he's 9) my daughter & his daughter will be bridesmaid s & his 3 sons will be his groomsmen.

My FH asked his 12 (she'll be 14 when we get married) to be his "best daughter" instead of having a best man.

Side question : should she be in a dress that matched the bridal party? A dress that matches the tuxedo, maybe a tux herself? Or any other ideas?

@Di... lol, last chance to run made me smile. I'd love to see the pics :-)

@ Cynthia B, I have to make sure my pastor is okay with it first before I can even think about but DS is dead set on this now cause he thinks it is hilarious. I will definitely post pictures if we decide to do it.

My daughter was one of our flower girls. <3

We are doing a sand ceremony. I picked the song "Yours, Mine and Ours" to play during that part of the ceremony. My son (17) and my daughter (14) are giving me away and are a groomsmen and bridesmaid. His oldest son (11) will be a groomsman and his youngest (4) will be our ring bearer.

My son, who will be 9 1/2 at the time of the wedding, requested to walk me down the aisle. He will pass me off to FH then he will stand up as our third GM. :-)
