From his experience with weddings, Dr. Coleman recognized the special needs
of couples marrying with children - children either from previous relationships
or children of the bride and groom born prior to their marriage. In 1987, he
developed the Family Medallion® as a resource for incorporating children into
the wedding service to recognize that - with children present, marriage is more
than the coming together of two people - it is the proclaiming of a new family.
Family Medallion® presentations are now included in over 15,000 weddings
annually.
You can find out more about the Family Medallion® by
