Because your wedding day is one of the most personal and cherished days of your life, your ceremony should be just as special! Every aspect of it – what you read and say, the music you play, the symbolism you portray - should all reflect you and the bond that you share. So make this day truly your own and rejoice in everything that makes your union unique. You can express yourself among family and friends through a personalized ceremony and set the tone of the ceremony for a wonderful celebration. There are many ways to make your ceremony unique and extraordinary.
Share the story of how you met and why you fell in love. What were the first words you said to each other? Where was your first date? How did the proposal happen? What actions of the other say I love you? What does your partner do that always makes you laugh? Have these words included in the introduction or somewhere else in the ceremony.
You can always customize your wedding favors, cake, and decorations to your personal taste and to match a personal theme. If one or both of you will be presented in marriage, take this time to reflect on what this relationship means to you. Include words of homage, amusing stories, and thanks.
Why not celebrate your heritage? Make a list of your respective ethnic, cultural, or religious backgrounds. Research wedding rituals, poets and music from these traditions and create a distinctive blend of words and symbols. Honor both your backgrounds and that way the ceremony can reflect your unique partnership! Go with something new -choose from the rich wedding customs around the world. You don’t need to belong to a particular culture or religion for the rituals to have meaning. Such rituals have been performed for hundreds or thousands of years because they resonate with universal truths about marriage. So be creative and make your special day truly yours and unique!
