There are a lot of decisions to be
made when planning a wedding. One of the first decisions is who to invite. For
Lori and Kim, it was the easiest decision of all. They wanted their children
present.
Most often we think of marriage as
the joining of two people. In reality, marriage is often much more than that.
It is also the coming together and merging of a family. With children present,
the wedding ceremony also becomes the proclamation of a new family.
It was a beautiful morning as we waited for Lori's arrival.
Here comes the bride, escorted by her children.
'It is with happiness that we gather..... '
As
with most couples, Kim and Lori exchanged wedding rings.
But
there was more.
They
wanted to include their children.
Kim and Lori chose to make vows to their children
and gave each of them a Family Medallion as a reminder of their promises.

It was a tender moment, full of hugs and kisses.
And maybe a few tears!
Time for the BIG kiss.
Love
has been declared; promises have been made.
Hearts
are united, lives are joined.
You
are family!
Fun times ahead for this family.
'Whatever our path leads us, it takes us together.'
