What made this ceremony unique was that Jason has 3 children, and it was important for them in incorporate the children into the ceremony.  Not just to give them a part, but to make them feel like they were part of this marriage, and profound change in their family structure.

Pam, Jason, and Children - family unity!

Pam, Jason, and Children - family unity!

We created a beautiful, non religious, spiritual ceremony that paid tribute to who they were as individuals, and what values they shared for their family.  As they took their vows together, they each vowed to have patience with one another in their new roles, and to support one another through the many changes they were sure to experience as they created their new home together.

It was deeply meaningful, and turned out just the way they wanted.  The kids felt so good about being included, and a new, happy family has come to be.
