UNIQUE IDEAS FOR YOUR CEREMONY
First of all, this is your special day. Incorporate your personal ideas into your plans. Be
creative, romantic, sentimental or outrageous (if you wish). Here are a few ideas to get you
started.
Bride/Honoring Your Mother and new Mother-In-Law
On the way down the aisle, before taking her place beside the groom, the bride pauses and
presents both her mother and her soon-to-be mother-in-law with special lace handkerchiefs
embroidered with details of the occasion or a white rose.
Groom/Honoring Mother and new Mother-in-Law
Have the groom escort both his mother and the bride's mother to their seats in the
processional.
Unique, Memorable Rituals
Include special rituals and moments in your ceremony. Consider a rose exchange, blessing of
parents and children, drinking of the wine/breaking the glass, a great moment of humor,
offering a family medallion to children, or having your children come up and help light a family
unity candle.
Blending Families
Include children or mention them if you are blending two families. Have your child (ren) sign
the wedding certificate along with your witnesses.
Special Reading
Have a close family member or friend read a poem during the ceremony.
Festive Processional Music
Select something non-traditional for your recessional music.
Candlelight
Consider being married by candlelight - nothing is more romantic!
Have a surprise wedding! Truly!
Invite everyone over for a party and imagine their shock when you change into your gown and
tuxedos!
Special Note: When your ceremony is prepared with care and love, whatever happens during
the ceremony itself (dropping the rings, flubbing your lines, etc.), becomes part of the magic
and joy of the moment and contributes to the specialness of your day. So have fun, be creative
and enjoy the process of creating your ceremony.
