For many couples and their parents it is most important that a wedding ceremony reflects their dreams, values, and expectations.
When the bride arrives at the ceremony in her white wedding dress, while the groom is waiting for her, the room is full of anticipation.
The etiquette of a traditional wedding is essential and should be followed.
When the couple wants to celebrate their wedding in a Christian way, they most likely will choose a church for the ceremony. In this case the groom has to wear a black suit and the bride an outstanding beautiful white wedding dress.
Today many couples decide to have a non-religious wedding ceremony. They want to get married by a family member or a friend, but they still want to follow tradition, then consider following:
A wedding ceremony contains most of these parts:
1.Opening words of the officiant
2.Entrance of the bride and groom accompanied with music
3.A poetry and wedding reading start (i.e. from the holy bible)
4.Attendants or witnesses sign the wedding papers
5.Wedding speeches and vows follow
6.Exchange of the wedding rings, followed by a blessing, officiant's sanction of the marriage, or community commitment to support the marriage
7.The first kiss as a married couple
8.Ending and walking out escorted by music
Before the ceremony can start, there is a lot of planning involved. Take a pen and make notes or answer following questions?
1.Make a guests list of people you would like to have around your
2.Send out the official invitation to your guests in time.
3.Find the officiant for your ceremony and get help with the marriage certificate
4.Find a wonderful location for the ceremony
5.Decide who will be the wedding processional and who take part of your bridal party
6.Organize the wedding rings
7.What kind of music to play during the ceremony?
8.Is a wedding party going on after the ceremony?
9.What dress and suit to wear during the ceremony?
10.Do you have planed to change clothes after the ceremony?
Plan your wedding a minimum 6 months before the event. Tick everything on your list, when each task is done.
To plan a wedding is like to work on a project. Be focused on getting things done.
I hope this short overview of what happens during the traditional ceremony, and what should be organized prior to the event, will help you to save time for your wedding plan.
