Vow of Parenthood (Call children forward to hold hands
with parents:)
Parenthood brings with it
a lifetime of unique responsibilities and immeasurable rewards. As a married
couple (names), do you celebrate and welcome these children, (children’s
names), into your new union and enlarged family, expanding your love
and commitment as parents to embrace them fully as your children?
WE DO.
(The parents may present their children with flowers
or other gifts such as family
medallions.) Other options include a sand ceremony, a candle-lighting
ceremony, symbolic gifts, and such.
