I am getting married on Easter Sunday on Horn Island (we are taking a chartered boat and 45 people, the reception will be onboard afterwards). I have 3 children from a previous marriage. My 11 year old daughter will be a Jr. Bridesmaid. My 7 year old daughter will be the flower girl and my 5 year old son is the ring bearer. They are all happy to be involved in this way. Is it downright rude or ugly for us to not include any extra parts in the ceremony regarding us all as a family?? We don't want to give them jewelry (especially my 5 year old son) and my oldest says she is nervous enough just standing in front of everyone, nevermind having to say anything. They are thrilled to be going on the ship, getting dressed up, and having fun with everyone all day. They love my fiance (and vice versa). If we're all comfortable with the plans, shouldn't that be enough?? I feel that our family and friends know that the kids are loved, well taken care of, and an important part of our relationship. I'd like an outside opinion...
Thanks, C. Wright

The only part of the ceremony that is necessary are the vows so plan the ceremony that makes all of you happy; kids, mom and new stepdad. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
