This wedding actually came to me in a dream.  

In my dream I am to officiate the marriage of a very handsome and free spirited couple that each have a couple of kids.  The female in my dream had three children in ages from pre teen to tot and the man in my dream had two teenager daughters.  
A day before the wedding the couple takes their children into a flower shop and instructs each one of them to go find the prettiest flower they can find (the parents did the same).   Of course each person comes back with a very different flower.  No two flowers the same or even a color match for that matter.  On the day of the wedding those same flowers are brought to the service by their beholders and are scattered on an altar table around a large crystal vase. 
During the wedding I not only speak of this couple uniting in marriage but of each individual uniting into a family.  A family that is being made from very different people with different looks, different likes, different gifts and different talents.  Yet, each one special.  Each one bringing to the table something extraordinary and unique, just like scattered flowers on the altar table.  The children have joined the parents around the altar table and one by one a person picks his or her flower and places into the vase creating a very colorful and fun arrangement that will be taken to the home of the very colorful and fun family.
