My daughter is getting married in September.
They have a 2 year old daughter and want her to be a very big part of the
wedding.. They want to include her in their vows...Do you have something such as
a vow or poem they can say to her when they say their vows....
Usually, when children are to be included in the
ceremony, a separate vow is made to the child at the end of the ceremony after
the couple have recited their vows and exchanged rings. At that time, the
minister will call the child forward and the couple make a separate vow to her
to love, cherish, protect, encourage, nurture and support her. Your
daughter's minister can help them in creating the wording and the timing in
the ceremony for the vow. Then, the minister introduces the family by saying
something like "It is my pleasure to introduce Mr. & Mrs. Bruce Jones and
Susan Jones."
Your daughter may also be interested in
presenting her daughter with a family medallion during the ceremony. The
medallions are most often used when one parent marries someone who will become
a step-parent, but they can also be used when the child belongs to both
parents. The medallion comes with a pamphlet of suggested wordings. You can
find information on the medallion at
Family Medallion.
