Anyone have some neat ideas to include my three kids and his three kids into the ceremony? I didnt really want to do the pouring sand into a jar, my wedding isnt beachy its at a vineyard.

    Having kids participate in the ceremony is generally frowned upon, a wedding ceremony is something between two agreeing adults, and it isn't really an appropriate place to include a child.  Make them flower girls/ring bearers/bridesmaids/groomsmen/guests, pick out cute outfits, take tons of pictures, and leave the vows and ceremonies to the adults

    My fiance and I have 8 neices and nephews!  We play a huge role in their lives and see all of them practically daily... We decided to include them in our ceremony by making them ring bearers and flower girls.  Walking down the isle alternating BM then 2 kids, BM then 2 kids.  Their parents will be sitting in the front row and be waiting for them when they are done walking down the isle...

    Yep, weddings are between two adults, the kids don't need to be involved.  Get them some fancy outfits, mani/pedis the morning of, and include them in lots of pictures afterwards.
