How to make your ceremony fun and memorable

Wedding ceremony

Q – How can we make our ceremony fun and memorable?

"Your wedding ceremony is typically the first time you will be in front of all your family and friends, so it’s important that it feels like the most authentic representation of who you are as a couple. One way to do this is through your music choices. For example, if you’re into rock or rap, incorporating these genres into your service can show off some of the things that make you both special. There are many ways to incorporate fun elements into your big day, from dramatic entrances to games and activities for guests during the cocktail hour.

"You could do a sand, candle or bubble ceremony, have a fun reading or even incorporate an animal. Having your precious pooch bring the rings down to the best man or woman is an adorable addition to any wedding.

"One of the most popular options is called The Unity Candle. This involves two candles being lit at the beginning of the service and then put together as one. The flame represents your love for each other as well as your commitment to being together through thick and thin. This is also something that the whole family can be a part of."
