Hello. The wedding is in 8 mos. This is a first marriage for both myself and my fiance. Our daughter will be 20 mos. old at time of wedding, and not including the flower girl or junior bridesmaid (we're not having either), is there any way we can incorporate our daughter into the ceremony?

Dear "Hello_Kitty"...
What a nice idea it is to include your little daughter in your wedding ceremony. You can make her a part of the ceremony with a special song.
There's a song called "YOURS, MINE & OURS" which was meant to be a family song to include all members of both families uniting at the ceremony. A candle could be lighted for each of you at the altar, or at the reception even, and that would make her part of it all.
If you really want a light, fun touch, you could play 'CHAPEL OF LOVE' as you all walk back down the aisle after the ceremony.
These songs are available at weddingmusiccentral.com and you can hear soundclips right on the website.

Dear Daughter of bride,
That is a wonderful idea.
Be mindful though that little ones can become frightened when in front of a lot of people. Quite often they scream and jump under the bride's dress. Of course, this could be a treasured memory.

Hello: Congratulations to you all! I happened to attend a similar ceremony. When the minister asked 'who gives this man and woman in marriage?', their daughter said 'I do' and placed their hands together. After they were pronounced man and wife, the three of them lit a single unity candle together symbolizing their family. The daughter was also given a promise ring. Best wishes!
