Wedding Vows Involving Kids
Children are always important considerations, but when you decide you want to get married, the Kids you already have become even more important.
If the Kids are left out of the wedding, they feel excluded .
If the Kids are forced to participate in some awkward manner, the Youngsters resent it.
Mixed families pose special challenges when it comes to planning weddings. The Youngsters require special consideration.
Begin the process of building appropriate relationships by considering the capabilities, needs, and desires of Youngsters and adults. Kids do not have the maturity or experience to deal with adult situations, therefore, adults must be supportive of their emotional needs.
When adults are confident in their own relationships, they are far more effective nurturing family connections with the Kids.
Kids do not want to be ignored, overlooked, or abandoned. They look to the adults in their lives to provide security, stability, love, and acceptance.
Kids whose feelings have been considered and nurtured do a much better job accepting new people in their lives.
Dysfunctional families result for a lack of consideration, love, and acceptance. Everyone suffers. The aim of every family should be to create an atmosphere where each family member feels accepted, loved, and secure.
Prepare for your wedding by first strengthening the personal relationships. Adults and Kids need to feel connected and a wedding can be a great way to deepen and strengthen those bonds.
So what do you do? Consider wedding vows involving Kids.
Susan is a twenty eight year old mother with an eight year old son named Todd. Susan has decided she wants to get married. The adult couple understands that Todd will be affected, but they are hoping it will be a positive experience for them all.
After talking about the situation for a few minutes, I suggested that a meeting be planned that included the boy. At the meeting, we would discuss the upcoming wedding.
Including Todd was a big deal. Todd was excited and his new parents looked forward to planning a great wedding for the family.
There were many options available to include Todd, but the choice that appealed most to all three was creation of special wedding vows involving Kids.
Here is the set of wedding vows involving Kids:
Bride: Because I love you, Todd, I ask that you accept Charles as my husband and your step father. I promise that I will always love, protect, and cherish you.
Groom: Todd, I have promised to love your mother, but I now pledge to love you as my son. I promise to provide for you, protect you, and encourage you to become everything you desire.
Todd: Mom, Charles, I love you and look to you for my life, my future, and my life. Thank you for being my parents.
The words vary from situation to situation, but the love of family always draws people together. Acceptance, forgiveness, understanding, and consideration foster a positive wedding and build a stronger family.
