Family-Oriented Wedding Ceremony

As a dating advice source for single parents, this
site would not be complete without providing insight
into how to properly “tie the knot” again. If you
were fortunate and have discovered that someone special
enough for you to consider remarriage, there are
obviously different considerations next time around.

As we’ve alluded to with each stage of dating and
relationships, your children have to be the utmost
concern with the need to be sensitive to their
perspective and feelings. This is especially true
when officially introducing another person into the
family via re-marriage. Children have to always be
reassured that they have a secure place in the family
despite any transitions that occur.

With that theme in mind, in my internet travels, I
have encountered an article which provides a nice
solution to this new family transition involving
re-marriage. Its a form of a family-oriented wedding
service that gives the children a very meaningful
role and is called the Family Medallion service.

In addition to the traditional aspects of a wedding
ceremony like ring and vow exchanges, the new step
parent makes additional vows and verbal promises to
each of the children. In fact, the children are involved
in making decisions regarding the ceremony which
fosters the feeling of being involved in the process.
They get to select the family medallions, gold or silver
with three interlocking circles, which are also
exchanged.

This wedding ceremony which is adapted for step families
yet integrates traditional elements is a great way to
celebrate a newly formed family. With divorce rates for
second, and third marriages sky high, this may contribute
to getting the transition off with a stronger foundation.
There are more than 25,00 couples annually which utilize
this new ceremony.
