Wedding
Ideas To Create A Day to
Remember
Creative Wedding Idea
"My husband and I got married
in a Borders Bookstore which is where we met at a writing group. It was a
Sunday evening, an hour before closing. There were 300 of our guests in
attendance plus a bunch of curious customers.
"There was no officiant at the
ceremony because in Pennsylvania, under Quaker Law, you can marry yourselves
wwith an exchange of something. Very traditionally, we exchanged rings. The
ceremony also included traditions of many cultures, each introduced by a friend
from that place. We drank from a 2-handled cup a la French tradition; jumped a
broom, an African observation; and we stood under a Chuppah, a Jewish ritual
from my heritage.
"I wore a red gown because that color makes me feel bold,
empowered and happy. My husband wore a kilt- partly because of his British
Isles ancestors and partly because he always wanted to. We were led in to the
ceremony by bagpipers. Basically, we did what we wanted... didn't let anyone
influence our choices... and had a ball.
"At the reception we served
wedding cake and champagne in the cafe area of the store. Because my husband is
in the business, we also had plenty of water ice for all. Music was provided by
our favorite alternative bluegrass band. We also had lots of entertainment
because we wanted the wedding to be as much for for others as it was for us: a
roving magician, jugglers, a palm reader, spin art, jigsaw puzzles with our
photos, and on and on. There was even a cash register open so people could buy
books, music, and magazines.
"Our fairy tale wedding was featured in many local newspapers as
well as one national magazine, thanks to press releases the store's community
events coordinator sent to the media. And, according to my husband, our wedding
video is the best one ever - it's the 30 second news clip that ran on the local
11 o'clock newscast the night of our wedding!"
