Wedding vows that include our son???

Janae, on June 4, 2012 at 1:59 PM Posted in Planning 0 6

I really want to involve our 2 year old son in the vows. This marriage is not just for us but for him too. We have even more of a reason to stay together and make it work for him to have a stable home and parentsthatlove eachother. I have tried to find vows to mention this but they are all for families with step children. Please help. I just need some good ideas to help my brain get unblocked so I can write something. He is only 2 so I figured my FH and I would vow to eachother to make our family our first priority for us and our son. My son doesn't have to be involved in the actual speaking because he can't really. hehe

    I recently completed a project for this lady/business owner, which was to write 50 wedding vows that included various categories and I happen to write a few that included the kids. I will post you the ones I wrote up or I can think of one for you off the top of my head. Writing is so natural to me and my passion, has been since junior high school. Prose poetry is my favorite. Let me know which you would like. I'll be happy to help you with this.

    Thank you! That would be awesome. I really just want to say something about our marriage is not only for our love but also for our son and the love we both share for him. Also, how we vow to make it thru hard times for our son if for nothing else.

    I have a wonderful reading that I use with parents, not as part of the vows,

    With parenthood, we recognize that we are no longer children ourselves. Claiming adulthood, we look at our children and see ourselves.

    
Our children are gift given to us, not be controlled, but to be appreciated for their unique personalities and the happiness they bring to their family. Consider the words of Cheryl Jack;

    “Children encourage us to acknowledge other ways of seeing the world. They teach awareness, receptiveness, and the importance of keeping and open mind. It’s hard to imagine the world from a child’s point of view. And yet the ability to put aside our own reality and listen mindfully to what children are saying acknowledges their way of seeing the world and helps us in our own becoming.”

    What a wonderful journey you have ahead of you, April, Michael and Chad! In each minute together, love unfolds, respect grows, and joy increases.

    If you still have these available I'd love to see some, I'm in the same position as the original post. My fiance and I have a 6-year-old son together that we'd like to include.
