Those brides who have children, are you giving them a piece of jewelry or doing a special ceremony to incorporate them in the wedding? My husband and I presented my daughter with this ring. she will have it to remember that day and she felt like she was really a part of the ceremony as well.
The ring has her birthstone in the middle and me and my husbands names, our birthstones on either side of hers; and our wedding date on the inside of the band.
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
Beautiful ring, Rhony! I would like to give our kids something but I haven't decided what yet. Any suggestions? (His- boys, I mean men is 19 and 18. Mine- girls 15 and 13 (both going on 25) lol!)
Thinking of giving the boys (13, 11, 7) maybe pocket watches, and the girls (19, 2) maybe a locket. We're trying to give them something the can have as heirlooms to pass on to their children in the future - and it better be WAYYYYY in the future for the 19yo!
we were going to do the birthstone ring but with 5 kids between us it was to expensive. We were going to just do one stone for the month of April with our last name on one side of stone and wedding date on the other. Since that was to expensive, we just had each of our children participate in unity candle portion of ceremony. After me and DH lit our candle each of our children came up in age order to light their own individual candle off our flame.

My FH has a girl age 7 and I have a girl age 5. We do not have any children together. He will present my daughter with a necklace and I will present his daughter with one and we both will read a promise to each child to be loving step parents so on and so on.
yeah, the blended ceremony is kinda like that:
