I am getting married to a wondeful man and we want to make th day as special for my five year old daughter as it will be for us. My fiance has been the only father figure she has known and he loves her like she has been his little girl since day one. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.....

She will definitely be part of the wedding. We are trying to figure out what part and how to incorporate something really unique and special in the ceremony and/or reception... Thanks

My uncle married a woman with a 6 year old a few years back. Of course, she was the flower girl - but they also had a special part of the ceremony were he and the girl exchanged vows as well: He promised to love, respect, provide and care for her as his own daughter - she promised to love, respect and honor him as her own father. It was short and sweet, and afterwards, he gave her a little gold locket to wear as a "symbol"
Then, when they did the unity thing, they used water. The Bride and Groom poured blue and yellow water into a decanter to make green, and the little girl placed a stopper on the decanter, sealing the deal so to speak.
And lastly, when the pastor introduced them for the first time, he introduced them as a new family not a new couple: "I am please to present, for the first time, our newest family Mr & Mrs John Doe and their daughter Jane."

I think getting to wear a "princess dress" and be a flower girl will be special enough! Maybe she can have a smaller version of a wedding cake for herself and the other children at the wedding - in pink or however she would like it decorated.

How about after you & your fiance exchange vows he vows to her? His promise to love her all her life, to be fair with her; to be the best parent he can.
Then if you want, he could present her with a necklace. I had one recent bride say that since the vow ceremony with her son, he talks about "their wedding". :)
It makes a BIG impression on the child. See if the officiant will pronounce you a family after he/ she pronounces you husband & wife. And also see if he/she will give your daughter a marriage certificate that witnesses sign. She won't totally understand all that's going on, but she'll feel such a part of this event.

Are you going to have her in the wedding as the flower girl or something? If she was a bit older I might say make her the maid of honor, but she might a little young for that much responsibility. You could also have her help pick out your flowers or cake.

Many extreme college drop outs are actual very sensible at times extra sensible than their graduating friends. commonly human beings drop out of highschool because that is not difficult sufficient and as a mushy individual with teenage angst, throwing in the towel and experiencing the 'genuine international' makes the most experience. My fiance is a extreme college drop out completeing a honours degree at college and pondering graduate college. for sure, he did not go again to college until eventually he replaced into 24. provide the guy a at the same time as, get to carry close him and do not get so hung up on what type of training he has. Your daughter should be feeling kinfolk pressure to marry, yet ought to she do it only for that reason? if so, you truly did not coach her to be self sustaining. How unhappy, were you a stay at living house mom by technique of any probability? in simple terms enable her recognize you'd be there to help her and to get herself on 'the pill' ASAP! i visit imagine that acquiring married youthful will be difficult, notwithstanding it would not inevitably ought to fail. i recognize a large number of individuals of their early individual years that sucessfully stay with a much better 0.5. Marriage will be high-quality. It probable will fail if she rushes into getting pregnant regardless of the reality that. As i'm confident you recognize, little ones can kill a relationship.

Make her the Flower girl of course!
Then instead of a unity candle, do a unity sand ceremony with 3 colors one for each of you.

Have you considered the Family Medallion Ceremony - very touching. This is a page describing the ceremony.

After you exchange your vows, have her come up, and do a "family commitment" with her. Give her a ring, too, to symbolize her part in your family.

have him vow to her, and give her a ring as well...since she is just 5 she will grow out of the ring and then could wear it around her neck
