Andrew Sinatra: "venue as you have your reception"What exactly is that? And to let you all know; I do feel stupid for asking all of these questions, yes I admitt. But I really appreciate all of you that have helped me answer this question.
Jose Bouliouris: marriage is an institution and those who marry should be put in oneno being serious getting married should be a joyous day and its what you both wantit takes the 2 of you to make it workalways listen and dont condem straight awaybe there for each other,take the rough with the smoothand have a great life...Show more
Nikki Sypult: you both can make it as basic as going to the justice of the peace (yellow pages)..he or she is a judge.you can do in your home/apt. it is your wedding do your thing.as long as you have the license...its a go.
Donita Desjardin: "It seems to me you know very little about weddings."Haha, you're right, I don't know a thing about them :)And I meant for the veil thing something more! like; is it okay if the groom gets the veil out of the way after the person announces that he may kiss the bride? Or does she have to do that when she has to talk, like "I take (groom) as my husband..."?...Show more
Irvin Guiles: The thing about weddings is that there is a ton of flexibility.First, if neither of you have a religious background, there's nothing wrong with having a non-religious service. You probably wouldn't want to use a church because you migh feel hypocritical.If you use a Justice of the Peace, you have a great deal of choice as to how the ceremony will be. It could have a spiritual component if you want that, or not. The ceremony can be in a park, in your living room, in a public builiding or even the same venue as you have your reception.You should be able to find a website with wedding officiants in your area. Check them out to see who offers something that matches you basic beliefs.As for all the other stuff, get yourself a book on wedding! planning. Leaf through the ones in the store to find one tha! t suits your personality. Remember that there are very few absolutes at a wedding. The ones that come to mind are:- you need a license to get married. That makes the whole thing legal.- you need someone licenses to perform the ceremony- you need two witnesses who are of legal age; usually that's what the Best Man and Maid of Honor are for but it isn't a requirement- if you have a reception, you must provide some sort of refreshments for your guests. The nature of those refreshments is widely variable.EVERYTHING else is optional - presence of bridesmaid(s) and/or groomsmen, attire of all concerned, location, rings, cake, music, food, liquor, theme, colours, flowers, limos, and so on....Show more
Danica Timperman: As a wedding planner I will tell you this, weddings are about personal expression. The bride & groom can do mostly what ever they want as long as it works for them. As for the rules these are very complex sometimes, my best advice for the bride is to buy a! bridal magizine. The good kinds are BRIDES and/or MODERN BRIDES. These magizines are complete enough to give the couple ideas about ceremony sites and dresses but also contain articles on etiquette and on lesser known topic about how much to tip the ceremony holder ect.. Plus it will help you organize your ideas and give ideas about money.Some examples for you though are 1-I had one couple that had a celtic handfasting which was more based on the tying of fates together than it was religious and neither person was christian.2-I had a bride go down the aisle in red not white because she believed that red represented her personality and her relationship and wanteded reflected in the ceremony3-Some couples want to have a outdoor ceremony that is naturally pretty in place of a church like a park or a forest preserve or pick a spot that has specific meaning for the couple. An alternate could be to have a non-denoinational minister that will talor the ceremony to your liking, th! ere are often many minister that will do a ceremony that is spiritual b! ut not religious. Or you could have a family or friend that understands the couples views get ordaned online and preside over the ceremonyOverall weddings are complicated but remember the oppertunities are endless, just have the bride be herself and the ceremony will reflects this. It should be a statement of the love of that specific couple not a cookie cutter wedding....Show more
Nannie Kasee: Who does the bride walk down the aisle with or may she be able to just walk by herself with the veil over her face? Does she have to remove the veil from her face when she needs to talk or can she just do it when they announce the groom may kiss the bride (that's what's prefered)?
Marcellus Yoshimori: Weddings are not necessarily a religious union. Alot are but doesn't need to be. It is a ceremony where you pledge your promises to each other in front of an official who is certified to"marry" you. This person can be any of the following:Justice of the PeaceClergyman (pre! acher, pastor, priest, Rabbi etc....)Officiant ( just a person who has jumped through the State's hoops to be able to officiate weddings)You can get married anywhere you choose. A park, beach, backyard, hotel, wedding "chapels" (not necessarily religious), Elks club, YMCA's...... you name it and I'm sure you can find it!As a planner, I have way too much information in my head to put down here... if you need more advice send me an email! I'd be happy to help you out as well as I can!best wishes....................Show more
Joie Kemmis: I recognise what you imply! There is a fashion toward very similiar models at individuals's marriage ceremony, just about as though there's an expectation for brides to comply with. However there also are plenty of weddings which might be exceptional in which brides and grooms are displaying their persona. The exceptional situation for specified recommendations is to have a appear on-line as you've a alternative from tons of exceptional ! cultures and even have a appear in antique retail outlets for a extra c! onventional appear. If you desire a brilliant red marriage ceremony get dressed there shall be any one who can furnish it. Think approximately the kind of marriage ceremony you desire after which appear to uncover the answers. Good good fortune together with your making plans!...Show more
Filiberto Amauty: And if I want to get married, like you said, in a park - who do I get permission from to wed on the property? Who do I get the lisence from and all of this (wedding lisence, etc)?
Morris Olexy: You don't need to be married in a Church. You can easily hire a Justice of the Peace and have a civil ceremony. More than likely, you can customize the ceremony to say what's important to you. The ceremony will simply be the two of you, saying your chosen vows. The ceremony will also be legal. You can get married just about anywhere. If you aren't marrying in a church, I would suggest marrying at the same venue where you plan on having your reception. As for the dr! ess, you can take whoever you want. Some women go alone, some bring just their mothers and some bring a few honest friends. It's really up to you.As for practicing for the wedding. That's called the rehearsal and it's beneficial to have one. It lets people get familiar with the order they will be walking and where they will be standing. You could probably do without one. But, it makes things run smoothly if you do have one.As for how to go about planning all this. It's pretty simple to get started. Figure out a wedding date and find a place where you want to have your civil ceremony. Websites like TheKnot.com and Brides.com are great resources. Also, just try talking to friends and co-workers about wedding they have been to. Someone should be able to name for reception sites and then you can google them.After you figure that out, find a JOP. You can do that in the phone book or the reception/ceremony site might have one they work with often.You don't need a veil! and you can walk yourself down the aisle.It seems to me you know very ! little about weddings. I would suggest watching some shows like "Who's Wedding is it Anyway" (on the Style Network) or the wedding shows on WE (like the Bridezillas)I'm not saying you have to have a crazy expensive wedding like that, but those shows will give you an idea of what different people do for their ceremonies/receptions....Show more
Carlee Tangaro: There are many different wedding traditions, but what you choose to do is entirely up to you. Check out my article on ezine articles.com for some advice.
Olen Penhallurick: Do weddings have to be entirely rehearsed? Or do they just need to let the Bride's Maids and others where to stand and how to enter.. things like that?Do they all go shopping for the dress, or does the Bride buy all of the dresses and have them ready at the wedding.What are the other things in the Wedding besides the Ceremony? Is it nessesary to have a dance? What comes first in the wedding; the Ceremony?Who exactly do you need to call t! o setup a wedding somewhere? Who handles how everything is run? And do you sign the marriage contract after the wedding?...Show more
Bernadette Roel: Christianity isn't the only religion, so how would a couple not being christian mean that they have no religion? Also, christianity isn't the only religion with a holy book. For example, the Muslim faith believes in God and even has it's own holy text.You are right, your statements have a good chance of being offensive to some, but not to those of us who are Atheist. I mean this in the nicest and most respectful way, but I would suggest that you educate yourself about other religions and faiths. It's quite condecending and pompous to claim that someone not being Christian automatically means that they have no religion at all. All it means when someone is not a Christian is that they don't have the same religion as you.If you are personally truly strong in your Christian faith, then there is no danger in opening your! mind to learning about other cultures, faiths, and religions. There's! a big difference is learning and converting. In fact, you may even find that it strengthens your faith. Wasn't Jesus a teacher in the Bible? I know he was a prophet and a teacher in the Koran.Peace to you and happy learning. :)...Show more
