How to incorporate step-son in ceremony?

After you are pronounced, I would give him a token, like a flower, before y'all walk back down the aisle. That's what we did for my mom and his mom.

Or perhaps incorporate him into your vows?

I love this!!

My fiance has a daughter and I have a son so we both are gaining step children and we are involving them in everything. My son is the ring bearer and his daughter is our flower girl. She will stand with me and my son will stand with him. She will be included in my vows and they will both be sitting with us at the head table. I was thinking of having them come in on our first dance at the end. After all they are getting married too.

Good luck, I know being a step mom is not easy I've done it for 4 years now and I love every minute of it because of her.

We included my step son in the sand ceremony so it showed the 3 of us merging as a family

My daughter is 13. She was our MOH, and then my H actually surprised her with a dance at the reception. It was a short one, "Little Girl" by Jack Johnson. She was really surprised and loved it.

Thanks everyone great ideas

If he is an out going kiddo, you can have your officiant call him forward and make him a part of the vows. "Family vows". Or just ask you something like "Do you also take ______ as your stepson and promise to _____"

@Beat the odds yes he is very outgoing not shy at all. That's a good idea thanks

You can say vows to him, give him a token of family unity (watch, pendant), and do the unity sand.

I went to a wedding a few weeks ago where all the step kids help with the unity sand!

Unity ceremony inclusion?

Yes I think maybe I will say some vows to him and give him a token of love such as a watch. He would be so excited to get a big boy watch since he looks up to his dad who loves watches. All of ur ideas helped so much! Thnx
