Weddings are unique experiences for everyone. Some people want quiet little ceremonies that only have a few dozen people there at the most, while others want large extravaganzas, with hundreds of people. There is no right or wrong way to host your wedding, and there are many wedding organizers and planners who can help make any vision come to life. It is simply important that you don't gloss over a few key details that add a lot of emotion and deeper meaning to the day than you might otherwise have. Here are three things you should consider incorporating into your wedding ceremony.
Involve Your Family
Yes, it can be very tempting not to involve family outside of very small roles, as lots of people have complicated relationships with various members of their families. However, it is important that you think about including at least a few members of both your and your partner's family in the wedding in some capacity. Whether that be walking you down the aisle, bearing the rings, reading a passage, or leading the entire ceremony, there are plenty of roles to divvy up amongst your families. This is important because a wedding is the merging of two families into one, so it is a good idea to use that idea in the actual ceremony itself.
Plenty Of Time
This is a little bit more abstract of a concept than the last, but it is vital that you let the ceremony have plenty of time to run without anything cramming into it. A lot of people organize their reception or photos too close to the wedding ceremony itself, and this can mean you rush both events and enjoy neither. Discuss with your wedding planner how you can arrange for more time than you currently have so that you don't feel pulled in one direction or another when you should be enjoying yourself.
Creature Comforts
It can be easy to organize a wedding that looks really great but is very uncomfortable for all those who attend. Try to make sure that not everything is based on the visual aesthetic of your wedding, but also around how comfortable your guests are. Getting comfortable seats, plenty of cover from the weather, an abundance of toilets, and more than enough food and drink is a necessity if you want your wedding to be remembered in a positive light. There will be plenty of time for photos around the more beautiful parts of your wedding, so do not deny your guests these small comforts.
