Hello everyone,
I would like to include my children in our ceremony, but need ideas on how to do so. My children are 22 and 11 and are already in the wedding parties. My son is a groomsmen and my daughter is a junior bridesmaid. I would love to incorporate them into our ceremony as well to acknowledge how much we love them and how important they are are in our journey.
Thanks in advance for all your ideas !

I’ve known couples do a unity ceremony that has involved the kids. I’ve also heard of instances where the ‘incoming’ spouse has said vows to their new step-children - although to me that feels more appropriate when it’s solely younger children, rather than one who is already an adult.
A key thing is to find something that all four of you appreciate and want to take part in. Do your kids have any ideas?

We are thinking of incorporating a hand fasting where the children would choose their cord color and tie it around our hands with the help of the officiant and say a few words.

My 10-year old son will be walking me down the aisle and my 2 year old son will be carrying a "Daddy, Here Comes Mommy!" sign. We're also doing a unity candle part with them involved.

My mother and step father got married when I was 8 and as part of the ceremony they had a portion where they presented me with a necklace that had 3 rings intertwined after the priest had blessed it and said a special family prayer.
