Family Medallions®Today, more than one in four marriages involves children. Many brides and grooms come together with one or more children from previous relationships. Other couples may already have children of their own. The Family Medallions® was created to assist with "family weddings" and to provide resources for recognizing and supporting family commitments.
Until recently, few wedding ceremonies acknowledged the family nature of many relationships or the mixed emotions children may feel about sharing their lives with a new parent and perhaps new brothers and sisters.
Studies show that children accept a parent's remarriage more readily when they feel included in the wedding plans and are given a tangible symbol of being embraced by the new family. The Family Medallions® presentation, as a gift or during the wedding service, provides this message of love and affirmation.
Couples may choose to present Family Medallions® during the wedding service or as a special gift. When used during the wedding, The Family Medallion® is given to each child after the couple is pronounced husband and wife. A special presentation ceremony, "Celebrating the New Family," comes with each Family Medallions® order. This resource is easily adapted to any religious or civil wedding tradition.
