These vow examples make me sick to my stomach

Also, if you google, "Second weddings" most of the so-called helpful stuff is about what to wear. As if that's my biggest question. Ugh. Sorry, I'm having a bridezilla day. Too much forum-reading.

I wouldn't reference second chances in vows, either. We used traditional vows that we edited to suit us. We got them from our minister.

Now...take two deep breaths and walk away from the internet, if its making you that crazy.

It's the including children that makes me crazy. But yes, as Donna suggest, put the mouse DOWN. Back AWAY from the interwebz. Or go onto dailysqee.com for a happier thought. :-)

Wow. I didn't think I was going to have such a strong reaction. I can't decide if I think the "second chance" thing is just trite or pathetic. Yes, it is okay to feel that way, but to say it in vows that everyone is going to hear makes me think of a Nicholas Sparks novel. (I think that's the guy who wrote "The Notebook".)

I'm marrying a guy with two kids. We are raising them like they are "our kids". If you ask the boys, they will tell you they have one dad and two moms. But I strongly dislike (okay, I hate) the idea of making the kids recite vows. I'm marrying their dad. He has a choice and is vowing to love, honor and spend the rest of his days with me (and stop criticizing my shoe-buying habit). The kids did not choose to be with me. They did not choose for their parents to divorce. The situation they are in and the new family that is being created was completely beyond their control. I think that puts them in a terrible position. That said, we would like to have them participate if they want to and feel comfortable doing so. They'll be 6 and 8 at the time of the wedding next summer, so we'll see.

Wow, I'd NEVER have anything like this in our wedding. It's the second time around for both of us but we wont be saying anything about that in our wedding at all, no reason too! We will be having a family unity ceremony with sand and the kids will be in the wedding (my girls will be our flower girls and my son will be our ring bearer) but nothing more. Not everyone would agree with the family unity ceremony sand, but it's something we want to do and the kids are actually loving the idea.

Family vows :0

Second chance sounds like you really made a balls-up of your first chance.
