“Your Wedding Ceremony with New
Traditions”
Today, Couples are composing portions of their Own Wedding
Ceremony
* Write your own Special Poem or Prayer for your
Partner. Recite it during your Ceremony. Many couples
ask close relatives or friends to read Poems or
Scriptures, Maybe recite Blessings at the Ceremony. This is a
Nice way to make them feel included in the
Ceremony...
* During the Ceremony...Have a favorite song
played that is meaningful to both of you. Surprise your mother
and walk down the aisle to the music she walked with on her Wedding Day...
* Surprise Your Bride/Groom with a Special song
or poem, expressing your feelings. Have the words printed &
distributed to your guests so they can join in with you...
* Print a Program for your Guests, including the
names of your attendants. A brief summary of how you met or a
message of appreciation to your guests...

* Incorporate Symbolism by carrying a family
bible, handkerchief or Unique piece that was

* Honor Both of your Heritages by
incorporating some of your Cultural Ancestry into
the Ceremony. Adapting them to your Celebration will add
That Special Touch for Family &
Friends...
* Interfaith Marriages...Bring a Combination of
both Religions to the Celebration...
* If a Parent or Loved One is Deceased,
Symbolically include them by a Special Passage or Poem, Lighting a candle during the Ceremony, Carrying

* An Alternative to being “Given-Away”...The
Acceptance Ceremony provide that the Bride’s family “accept” the groom & the Groom’s family
“accept” the Bride. This can be a simple statement that includes members of each
family...
