Mentioning Children during the ceremony ??

I think I'd be inclined not to, unless you were to do it in really general terms about becoming a couple, and also a family unit or something like that? You could always get your fiance to say something more specific about it in his speech? ?

I think it's entirely up to you, but I think it would be a lovely idea to include your son.

There are areas of the ceremony where you can choose your own wording, so if you just tell the registrar what you would like to do I'm sure they'll be able to guide you in the right direction.

You don't need to confirm any of the ceremony details until approx 6 weeks before hand so you've got plenty of time to think about it.

Hi jm

my h2b and i have a 3 yo daughter and we are including her in our wedding, both she and my h2bs boys (from first marriage) will be mentioned by the vicar and when it comes to the bit ' you may kiss the bride' our daughter will join us and we will have what we call a group hug and kiss together, it is very important to our daughter that we are getting married and it feels right to us to make sure the kids are involved as our unity is not only for us but for them too. i think if your son and your h2b would like it to be mentioned than it would be beautiful just make sure it wont embarass your son first

I have two step daughters but we didn't include them in our wedding ceremony. They day was about us becoming man and wife, they didn't need to be reassured that I love them and that we'd be a family unit. They were happy to be bridesmaids and overjoyed for us on the day.

I did however give MrKB a framed picture of us all, "his girls" as his wedding gift. He absolutely loved it and it hangs pride of place in our home.

I like the idea of maybe your husband mentioning son in his speech. Maybe son could say a reading? It is of course up to you in the end, but it wasn't something we wanted to do.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your input into my question.

My son is only 6 and whenever we talk about the wedding my son always asks "when are us three getting married" and when we drive pass the venue he get's really excited and says that's where OUR wedding is going to be !! So he already feels it's about the three of us, so I feel that including him in the ceremony somehow is very important and when my son looks back at it, it will probably mean alot to him too.

I will speak to the registrar and ask for their input on the best way of including this someway.

Thanks again

JMx
