Wedding Ceremonies do not have to be the “same old thing”, Even a more formal wedding can have specific elements added to help make the day “yours”. Here are 7 things that you can add to your Wedding Ceremony to make your day truly special:
- Leave Room in the ceremony for “Your Love Story.” Six to eight points are sufficient, and they can be heartfelt or funny. As long as they are real and authentic, they will keep your audience engaged. You can even ask your guests to participate.
- Specific Personal Readings add a nice touch to a ceremony, from Paul’s Love Letter to the Corinthians, lyrics from Popular Music to meaningful poems, or your own thoughts. Any of these make the ceremony personal. You can even have the Maid of Honour or Best Man participate!
- Personalized Vows are an excellent way of making your ceremony more meaningful. Express your feelings, promises, and memories in a way that is authentic and personal.
- Meaningful Rituals and Symbols: Incorporate rituals or symbols that hold significance for you as a couple. For example, a unity candle, sand ceremony, handfasting or ring passing, all can add depth and meaning to your ceremony.
- Your ceremony is a celebration of your love, so infuse it with elements that reflect your personalities and journey together.
- Have your own wedding Playlist. Play that special song as you walk down the aisle and another while you are signing the wedding documents.
- Include the Family Dog! Family Dogs can be an awesome part of a Wedding Ceremony provided they are trained. Have your Dog walk up the aisle with you or be the Canine Ring Bearer. Whatever the task the Family Dog will add an “aaah” to any ceremony.
The more personal your ceremony, the better. You will find your guests become more engaged, and it will be both memorable and meaningful for everyone.
