"Do you take this man?"
she turned to her two children, bent down, talked to them privately for a moment, and then, finally, turned back to the minister and said:
"I do."
This small gesture gave her children a feeling of being included in her vows.
"I have promised to love you and to be a faithful husband / wife, but I would like to add another vow, a promise to love _______________________ as my own child, to provide for him / her and to be a faithful father / mother, always concerned for his / her welfare and his / her every need."
"_______________________, did you know that you are a little bit of heaven to me? Although the golden days of childhood come and go so quickly, I promise that I will always be there for you. I love you dearly and I promise to be a faithful father to you for all the days of my life."
Vow to a New Stepdaughter
"____________________, I love your Mommy, and today I have taken her as my wife; but, did you know that I love you dearly as well? I want to be as a father to you, and I invite you into my heart. We will have happy times together, you and your Mommy and I. And with this ring I give you my love." (Slides the ring onto the girl's finger.)
