Wedding Ceremony Children's Vows to Step Parents

Many couples, when marrying, may be bringing children from a former relationship into the current marriage. into the union their own child, or perhaps children from a former relationship.

When the children are old enough, they may choose to make their own commitment to their step parent.

Here is a sample taken out of my Wedding Ceremony Resource Book. 

Vows by Parents and Children
Celebrant:
As (Groom) and (Bride) exchange their wedding vows, we realise that this isn't the only relationship being established today. There is a whole network of relationships set up by this marriage, as there is in any marriage.

Perhaps the most important relationship being established now is that between (Groom's) children (children's names) and (Bride's) children (children's names).

Step relationships are often difficult for all sorts of reasons. But with the right attitude they can be both helpful and productive.

So, today, I ask (Groom), will you do your best to assist (Bride's) children (children's names) in whatever way  you can during these important years of growth?

Will you respect their relationship with their parents, yet be aware of your important place in their lives, and treat them with care, concern, fairness and respect?

Groom:
I will.

Celebrant:
(Children of the Bride), now that your family includes (Groom) as a parent to you, will you treat him with respect and fairness, and do your best to maintain a friendly and happy relationship with him?

Children:
I will.

Celebrant:
Now I ask you, (Bride), will you do your best to assist (Groom's) children (children's names) in whatever way you can during these important years of growth?

Will you respect their relationship with their parents, yet be aware of your important place in their lives, and treat them with care, concern, fairness and respect?

Bride:
I will. 

Celebrant:
(Children of the Groom), now that your family includes (Bride) as a parent to you, will you treat her with respect and fairness, and do your best to maintain a friendly and happy relationship with her?

Children:
I will.
