Family Ceremonies
Today many couples find themselves blending families. It is a delicate balancing act that is, to NOT imply somehow that a child’s new official step-parent somehow replaces their birth parent. Every situation is unique, and parents should prepare children for their new family relationship according to the specific situation at hand. Including children in the wedding ceremony is an excellent way to cement these new relationships. It can be done celebrating with a Family Sand Ceremony, Family Unity Candle, a Family Rose Ceremony and many others. The families can also include statements and vows from the couple that affirm their love and commitment to support one another in guiding the children, as well as assurances from the couple directly to the children A wedding that creates a new family.
