Try Something Different for Your Wedding

Do you want to do something different at your wedding ceremony? Go ahead – it is your day and you can make it even more special by adding a surprise element in the mix.

Here are a few thoughts on things to do.

· Have the Groom walk his Mother down the aisle and then take is place in the front with the minister.
· Have a unity candle
· Try a unity water ceremony. With three vases in place the Bride’s water is red and the Groom’s is yellow. When they are combined they make a new color representing a new family.
· Unity Sand Ceremony – it is the same as the water ceremony but you add the two color sands in layer and then seal and you have a keepsake forever.
· Ring of roses – have the Best Man or the Maid of Honor throw rose petals in a circle around the Bride and Groom to symbolize the circle of love that they are creating this day. The Minister can say some words to that effect while the petals are being placed.
· Share a glass of wine – small amount of wine in a single cup and share this after the ring ceremony.
· First dance immediately after pronouncing the couple husband and wife. The band begins and they dance while all of the guests are still seated.
· Bell Ringers – give each guest a small bell and as the Bride and Groom walk out everyone rings the bells.

Have fun planning your wedding. God Bless…. Rev. BB
