(USA) We will be using vows similair to this when we get married. I really like the idea of the braclets for the girls. I will use that when i get married. The guy that I’m with and I both have children from a previous marriage. I have girls and he has boys. So do you have any suggestions for a gift like the braclets, but for the boys?

(USA) Hi, just came across this article! I’m actually casting for an upcoming television series for a major television network surrounding a blended family who are either engaged or married, bringing in children from both sides! If you or anyone you know might fit the bill please drop me a line! Also please feel free to check our our website at http://www.sirensmedia.com Thanks! Brent sirenscasting@gmail.com

(USA) This was beautiful! My fiance and I are getting married in Oct and we both have a child from previous relationships. They are 4 and 6 though so we are having trouble finding wording that they will understand. We are going to do Unity Sand and I have explained to them what it means and why we are doing it. They are both really excited to be a part of the ceremony. The 4 year old was the ring bearer at his moms second marriage but he says he just sat in the grass and watched. We want our kids to feel included and we think the sand is fun for the kids.

(USA) My fiance and I are starting to plan our 2010 wedding. Our bridal party is composed of our four children (new era Brady Bunch) and have decided that we would like to have them be part of the ceremony as well. After reading (and crying) the blended family wedding vows, I found the perfect wording! Thanks a million!

(USA) Wow! This was so beautiful! I knew I had wanted to include my daughter …but I didn’t know how! This is exactly how we will do this in our ceremony! Thank you for sharing it with us!

(USA) I am going to do this for our ceremony in October 2009! I am just unsure how to go about it.

See, my husband and I are renewing our vows on our 16th anniversary after being separated due to infidelity and all the mess that comes with that. Our son has been through it all with us, so we wanted to present him with a ring and a necklace (cross) to renewal our vow to his as his parents. I just don’t know where to start???

(USA) What if one of your children is just REALLY negative? At 11, she still has GIANT temper tantrums that wreak havoc. I’m sure some of you will say this is all my fault, and those buttons on me are easily pushed, but truth be told we have had as peaceful and gentle a divorce as possible (most people are amazed).

It just breaks my heart, because my new guy is really wonderful, and we have a great relationship with my former spouse/co-parent who lives just a few blocks away. Any suggestions? I don’t want or need to force anyone to love anyone else. I just want to love them all peacefully, and for all of us to commit to creating a nurturing “nest”. I saw a wedding with these vows and I long deeeeply for such public and sweet commitments.

(USA) Fabulous! This made me so emotional just reading. My fiance and I both have custody of our children and are getting married this fall. We want to include our children in the ceremony and these vows are a great place to start. We will incorporate this with the family medallions we will be giving the children. Thanks for sharing!

(USA) My partner and I each have a child from a previous relationship AND we have a child together (3 girls total ages 17 months, 9 years & 12 years). We are getting married October 24, 2009, and I’ve wanted all along to include the girls. I love these vows! Instead of rings I plan on getting all 3 girls silver bracelets with a dangle heart and have the date engraved on it.

(USA) I will be getting married on April 4, 2009 and last week my 12 year old daughter told me to remember to get her ring for the wedding. Oh my gosh, I had completely forgotten to include her in the vow ceremony. Your sight was a relief. I will definitely be using it and part of another one for my ceremony. Thanks

(SOUTH AFRICA) We will be tying the knot April 4th and this is exactly the kind of vows I wanted as I wanted to include our children in the ceremony.

(USA) Oh my gosh! That was the most beautiful thing I have ever read. I know there was not a dry eye in the house. I started crying just from reading it. Those vows truly touched me. I have been dating someone for over a year now and we both have children from a previous relationship. It is my utmost intention to include them in the ceremony but I was not exactly sure how to do so. This article has definitely helped me define the vision of what our inclusive ceremony should look like.
