Your wedding ceremony makes the marriage official, so you want to make it special. It can be celebrated in many different ways and can be held just about anywhere. The ceremony itself can express your individual personality, so get creative.
Keep it simple: When planning your ceremony, keep in mind that if you stray too far from a traditional ceremony, you might confuse people. In keeping with the traditional ceremony, tweak little things, maybe have your officiant tell a story about you as a couple. If your officiant knows you very well, this might be the perfect way to incorporate funny stories about you and how you got together!
Keep it personal: You may or may not want to write your vows, and that’s okay. If you do write your own vows keep them simple and personal. Include something that only you and your husband will understand; this makes your vows that much more special. If you don’t want to write your own vows, just keep in mind that you can change the simple things like vows to “I will, or I do” depending on your preference.
In terms of length of the ceremony, this can also be altered. If you are having an early ceremony, you might want to keep it short; otherwise you might have some sleepy guests! This is also true with evening weddings, as guests might be hungry and ready for your amazing dinner. You can speak with your officiant to discuss your options to plan the perfect ceremony for you!
