Hello!My fiance and I have a daughter together and I'm looking for unique ways to incorporate her into the wedding ceremony.  She's going to be a flower girl but I was also looking for something more.  Any ideas???Thanks!

    How old is she?  Frankly, I think having her as your FG is plenty.  I'm not at all a fan of having kids say "vows" during a wedding ceremony.  I think that giving tokens or gifts (ie necklace, medallion) are better done during the RD when you give other WP and parent gifts.IMO, wedding ceremonies are about joining two consenting adults in marriage.  Since she's the DD of both of you, you're already a family and don't even need to consider doing more.Having said all that, if she's younger than toddler age, I wouldn't even have her as your FG.  I'd just make sure she's in an adorable outfit, and have dozens of pictures taken with your beautiful little girl.
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146

    When you exchange the rings with your husband you could call your daughter up and give her a necklace or something. Like put it on her with your husband! I saw that done one time and I thought it was really cute. Nothing too cheesy, but since she's yours together i think it's a great idea to do something small to show her how much you both love her!! And you all 3 walk away with some new bling :) good luck! :)

    I guess being I have two children I LOVE the idea of you incorporating her!  For me joining together in marriage is not only for FI and myself, it is a union and celebration of our families..with the being said, I LOVE the necklace idea!  We are not doing a unity candle or the sand thing.  We were thinking of maybe all four of us holding a single rose and putting it in a vase together...To show our celebration and committment as a family :) If she's old enought to read, I think reading a small poem or verse is cute too!  My MOH is my 9 year old daughter and she already has her own speech for our reception!

    Thank you!  The idea of giving her a necklace is a great one!  It is true that we are two adults joining together but she is so much a part of our life that i want to make her a part of our union as well!
