My finance and I have decided to
have our baby then have the ceremony. We are in our early
twenties and deeply in love and committed to our family to be.
We would like our son or daughter to be a part of the ceremony
even though they are so tiny. Please give us some advice.
It is difficult to include a baby
in a wedding ceremony when the child is too young to understand
what is happening or to participate in any way. Most often the
child is carried into the ceremony by a grandmother when she is
seated at the beginning of the ceremony (either your mother or
the groom's mother). Most of your guests will know that the
child is yours and will understand the significance of his/her
presence. The baby should also be included in your wedding
pictures.
Other than that, you
can symbolically include your baby in the ceremony if you write
your own vows and mention your commitment not only to each other
but to your child as well.
Best wishes to you in your future
motherhood and marriage.
