Creative Ceremony Ideas

If you would like to add special touches to your wedding ceremony, try one or two of the below listed ideas:
1. The mother and father walk the bride down the aisle.  
2. The bride walks down the aisle solo, or perhaps even dad can meet the bride midway down the aisle.  
3. Have the groom escort his mother to her seat.  
4. Allow a family member or friend to do a special reading or solo.  
5. Have a rose ceremony - The bride and groom exchange two red roses symbolizing the giving and receiving of their love for each other throughout their marriage.  
6. Hand out roses to the mothers during the rose ceremony.  
7. Have a family member deliver the final blessing.  
8. Include a prayer of thanks to the families.
9. Have a single flower given out to each female guest as they are seated for the ceremony.  
10. Jumping of the Broom  
11. For the big kiss, have the wedding party hold up score cards to rate the kiss.
12. Do a tasting ceremony - The bride and groom will taste four different flavors, something sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. These different flavors will represent the sweet, salty, bitter and sour times the couple will go through during their marriage. Guests usually get a kick out of the funny faces made by the couple as they taste the different elements.  
13. Include some of your engagement photos in your wedding program. Happy Planning!!!
