Yours, Mine, and Ours - 10 ways to include your kids in the wedding ceremony
Manage episode 244489647 series 1754574
106: LIVE FROM VEGAS, BABY! Since our planned guest was sick, and Lindsay was jetlagged, Atonn decided to talk about FAMILY weddings - meaning a wedding where the couple already has kids - we frequently talk about blended families as "Yours, Mine, and Ours" since it could be kids that were had together, or kids from previous relationships, or both... but whatever the situation, it creates an amazing opportunity to include the children in the wedding ceremony. What a wonderful way to symbolize the full joining together of the new family, into one cohesive unit! Now. before you make any plans, MAKE SURE THAT THEY WANT TO BE INVOLVED! You don't want to create extra anxiety or difficulty for a child who feels alienated, who maybe isn't comfortable with the marriage, or public speaking. But if you respect their boundaries, and they choose to participate in a meaningful way, it can be one of the most amazing and rewarding experiences of your life!
