“We want our ceremony to be warm, sincere and inclusive. We want to speak of our journey together and our love for one another to all the important people in our lives, our families and special friends.” This is the vision of a second marriage ceremony that many couples have and it can be a reality.
To help personalize your second marriage vows ceremony, answer questions such as……how did you meet; were you attracted to one another right away; what do you love most about each other; why are your family and friends important to you; why did you decide to have a wedding ceremony; what are your hopes and dreams for the future – for each other and the children. Answers to such questions give information to add to your ceremony.
Write your own second marriage vows to one another, from one heart to another. Promise things that are important to you both…..fidelity, unconditional love, friendship, loyalty, take responsibility for the quality of your relationship, shoe sales, watching football, walking the dog………whatever promises are made, they will be the blue print for your married life together.
A second marriage celebration can be special…….being able to include your children and grandchildren is a bonus and a blessing. For your marriage to be given the blessing of your gathered family and friends and for the two of you to be given the ongoing love and support of everyone present is very affirming. Children or grandchildren can read poetry or prose, play an instrument or sing. Children can say vows as well if you wish. A Unity candle can be lit to unify the new family.
