Today I want to let you in on 2 ceremony secrets you can use to personalize you wedding ceremony.
1. Break Tradition and Face the Crowd.
How many times have you been to a wedding only to stare at the bride and groom’s behinds for the entire ceremony? For me it’s all too often. Break tradition and face the crowd. Not only will they get to see your face, you’ll get to see them too. Laugh smile and cry with friends and family and share those moments with them in a more connected way.
TIP: Most preachers & Ministers will try and talk you out of this, I have seen it many times. The way the bride, groom and minister stand is supposed to represent some sort of symbolic pact with god… Hold tough and stand your ground. Let your guests stare at your ministers back and not yours.
2. Announce your Bridal Party During the Ceremony.
What makes a wedding really special is the personal touches we add. We walk down the aisle and stand with our best friends as we declare our everlasting love for our partners. Meanwhile the people in attendance are wondering who all those people are standing up there with you. Let them know. Have the minister hand over the mic and introduce everybody. To take it up a notch make a short statement directly to each person thanking them for being a part of your life. It doesn’t have to be a long, dramatic speech. A quick word, will get the audience connected right from the start.
I practice what I preach, this first images is from my wedding and I am really glad I did it!
