Relationship Advice Expert April Masini
Advice Seeker: Dear April Masini,
I'm planning my second marriage and I am concerned about family participation in the wedding. My fiancé and I each have three children of our own and aren't sure if we should include them all in the ceremony or not. On one hand we'd like to, but they don't get along extremely well and we don't want any problems. Do you have any advice?
Sincerely,
Marrying with Children
Dear Marrying with Children,
The crucial factor on including children in the wedding is their age.Young children have a short attention span and are more likely to accept the new step-mom or step-dad easily or without much thought about the ramifications of the new family. Including young children in the wedding in a peripheral role like flower children, is a great idea.
