Including Children in the Second Wedding Ceremony

The bride and groom can choose to repeat these traditional wedding vows:

"I,____, take you ____ to be my lawful wife/husband, to have and to hold from this day forward.  For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health...for all eternity."

or...

( I, _______ take you now, in the presence of God and these witnesses, to be my wife/husband. I promise to love you, to hold you and to honor you, in good times and in bad, to enjoy you, to communicate with you always, and to console you when you need consoling. I will give thanks for you each and everyday, and cherish you with all my heart until out time on earth together has ended."

"________,  I promise to be a good and faithful husband/wife to you, and also a patient, loving father/mother to (children's names), caring for them and providing for them as my own. I promise to be their strength and their emotional support, loving them with all my heart forever.".

Then the children can repeat "we do" after these words:

"And now, (children's names)  do you promise to love and respect your parent's new husband/wife? Do you promise to support their marriage and their new family? Do you promise to accept the responsibility of being their children, and to encourage them and support them in your new life together?"
