Committing to someone who has a child from a previous relationship is not an easy thing to do. There are many challenges that come along with it, and one of the most notable ones is finding a way to make peace with the thought that there will always be a third or even fourth parent in the family dynamic.
Not only that, but when you are marrying someone with a child, you not only make a promise to that person but to the child as well. And from that point, everything you do and decide will ultimately have an effect on the child as well.
As I’ve said, it’s not an easy thing to do, but as long as there is love, everything is possible. There’s nothing you wouldn’t do in the name of love. And no one knows this better than the woman in the video below named Katie.
So when Katie sat down to write her wedding vows, she wanted to make sure no one will feel excluded from this beautiful moment. So instead of addressing her vows strictly to her soon to be husband, Katie also made promises to the man’s son Landon, as well as the boy’s mother and stepfather (Casey and Tyler).
You see, Katie knew that if their co-parenting plan has any chances of being successful in the long-term, she needed to bring everyone together and show them that they are all in this together. At the end of the day, they all have one very important goal they need to accomplish, and that is to figure out what’s best for Landon.
Here’s Katie reading the heartfelt vows she’s written with the purpose of bringing everyone together:
