Including teenage son in ceremony

You could do a unity ceremony with him. he could do a reading of something. he could also just walk down the aisle by himself. my brother and sister in law were not directly groomsman or bridesmaid but i had them walk down the aisle too during the processional similarly to how parents do. it was my way of recognizing that he's also a part of my life even if he's not directly standing up there with the groomsmen and bridesmaids.

Could he do a reading? That would be nice way to include him. I had my grandmother write and read a poem for my wedding. She has always written me poems for special occasions so I knew it would be a nice way to include her.

All we're having is my FH's 11 y/o daughter at our elopement. We've told her she's our "all of the above," so she'll be carrying the rings, holding my bouquet during the vows, be my maid of honor, etc.

I don't have kids of my own but we're doing a sand ceremony since we're officially becoming our own family unit. You can do whatever you please and tweak things to suit your day.
