How do we tell my 8 year old step daughter that her father and I got married?

Due to BM situation, my husband and I brought his daughter (10) to the wedding site the day BEFORE the wedding and sat her down and told her that we were getting married the next day. (We were afraid that the BM would come and take her away before the wedding if she knew what was happening.) My SD looked at me and said that was great because she loved me! The wedding went smoothly and she left the day after to stay with her mother the rest of the summer.

I believe it depends on the situation how to inform the children.
