It would be wonderful if your partner (soon-to-be husband!) read a personal pledge to the girls. This he can do in his own words. Also, most books on wedding vows contain vows for couples with children. There is a way of tweaking the vows to make them work for you.

There are many other ways to include the girls. Many of these are eleborated upon in my book...

-Walk down the aisle with them.

-Have your celebrant bind your hands with his/her prayer stole just before the vows. Then have the girls come up and place their hands upon your hands in a silent blessing.

-Have your celebrant bless you as a family.

-Have your celebrant bless the girls individually while placing a hand upon their heads.

-Have your partner give rings, or another keepsake, perhaps engraved, after you have exchanged your rings. This indicates a pledge to them.

-Together you can read them a declaration of love and devotion.

-Together present them each with a rose or other flower.

-Light a family candle.

Your daughters are integral in your lives. It is most appropriate and absolutely wonderful to include them in your blessed day.

They will never forget it.

Blessings upon your beautiful family,
