Wedding
Ideas To Create A Day to
Remember
Wedding Ceremony Idea "My husband and I just got
married and our wedding was perfect!! At least perfect for us! We debated
eloping but decided that we might have more regrets about not including people
than we would about including people. "We found a small church that
fit the size of our family and close friends. And it was a church that felt
right to us and did not have too much of an administrative structure to it. My
best friend, who is a minister in another state, was able to perform the
ceremony for us. "We wrote our own ceremony -- which was challenging to do but
actually brought us closer. In the ceremony we each read a poem that we had
picked out for the other person. And, we each made a personal statement before
we said our vows. That was kind of difficult but it was also very powerful to
do that in front of the people that we are closest to. (Before we got married,
we wrote our own pre-nuptial agreement -- again, it was challenging but really
brought us closer in our understanding of each other.) "Some of the romantic touches
were that my husband picked out my bouquet of flowers for me and he decorated
the church with flowers as a surprise for me. Also, he picked out the music for
the ceremony and picked songs that touched everyone's heart (Beloved by Ben
Harper as the processional and So Amazing by Luther Van Dross as the
recessional). "After the ceremony, we had dinner with our guests at my
favorite restaurant (which is important to me because I love food!). Then the
families and friends gathered for a simple party in the hospitality room of a
hotel. "It was
a simple day that reflected our personalities and gave us the chance to share
our love with the people tht we are closest to. We both planned it together so
it took teamwork and gave us the opportunity to deepen our partnership. We kept
it simple so that we could totally enjoy the day -- which we did. Maybe it's
not the most unique wedding story that you will get but I think it's a good
reflection of how you can design your day to be what will allow you and your
spouse to be joyful and to soar!" |
