Making an entrance

The entrance is an important moment for any wedding and I have had my fair share of things which have gone wrong but here is one from the 'Mashable' site that I was sent last week.

I will stick with the music and a gentle walk...

Wedding Cake Toppers

For many people this may not seem important but for some it is.

Zoe and Olly had a special cake topper of a Groom with boxing gloves on and sporting a black eye because he had a Thai Boxing fight the night before!

Have you thought about it?

Here's some interesting choices...

Secrets

Shelly and Huw

The wonder of the Wedding Ceremony is that you can have secrets from one another or you can have secrets with each other from the guests.

Where would you like to start?

 ideas:
  1) arrive on a fisherman's longtailed boat
  2) throw a bouquet of flowers - which is 5 smaller bouquets
  3) the elephant arrives (great if you have children guests)
  4) they wouldn't be secrets if you shared them...

The speeches - the Maid of Honour

The speeches are a part of the celebrations which are either enjoyed or are a scary bit to worry about.

But have some fun - she did!

The Words

Just written some words with Zoe and Callum and I was moved with the number of people who commented to me regards the words that we used

I understand that the key to this is the discussions that you have with the bride and groom - make the ceremony mean something to the people listening - well in my experience this has been successful for me.

Congratulations Zoe and Callum.  

The ultimate wedding bouquet

We all know the tale of catching the bride's bouquet and then you will be the next to be married.

BUT what do you do when there are a handful of ladies which are attending your ceremony and you know that they would all like to get married. What do you do?

Throw three bouquets at the same time - carefully change or add to your bouquet (in secret) before you add it - Put did!!

Gifts for your Wedding Guests

During the times that I have managed and been a celebrant for weddings I have certainly seen a great number of gifts which the bride and groom have given their wedding party.

Last week Janet and Keith met us again at Cape Panwa Hotel to celebrate their tenth anniversary and now Janet has nore to share with us. Would you like to give a gift to eveyone who attends your special day?

Well Janet has all those gifts that you would like to give.

I was lucky enough to take part in Janet and Keith's Buddhist Wedding 10 years ago - one specific thing that they remember of me is that I was wearing odd socks!
