Some ideas make your special day memborable.
As part of your wedding program, you can include special poems about love or family or write a special message to your guests.
Here’s a special dedication to a bride and groom’s parents…" We would like to dedicate this ceremony to our parents. They have taught us our values, and shown us how to laugh, love and appreciate all that life has to offer. Their generosity, support, and love is unending."
Traditionally, the bride’s father escorts the bride down the aisle. Today, there are many other variations. Some brides are being escorted by two fathers (father and step father) each holding one arm of the bride. Some brides walk down, hand and hand with their mother. Or The bride can give a rose to both mothers as she walks down the aisle. Or prior to the ceremony, place a personalised handkerchief and a rose at both mothers' seats. The handkerchief will be a wonderful keepsake and remembrance.
If you are having your ceremony in a wedding chapel have a candle light service. The bride and groom light their candles and then the ushers walk down and light the candles of everyone sitting at the end of the pews and then those guests turn and light the candle of the person sitting next to them and so on. Next, the lights are dimmed and the entire chapel is lit by candle light and the most warm and romantic glow transcends over the room.
