<\/a><\/span><\/p>\nThe next topic in my series of Wedding tips is Wedding Ceremony Tips. <\/em>I know you’ll find some insight!<\/span><\/p>\n Is the moment of truth. This is the moment when your knees become weak and your heart race for a horse race. This is the moment you’ve been waiting for, to walk towards your Love and see your family and friends while wearing the most expensive and most gorgeous dress you’ve ever worn. While you do these steps towards your Love, your mind will race, your thoughts will wander and your whole day will become a blur after the end of the Ceremony…<\/span><\/p>\n Unless! You’ve remember to make it memorable and meaningful with my tops tips.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n 1. Stop and Take it all in<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Weather you are standing at the Church’s Entrance or at the end of the aisle … STOP. Allow everyone to see you and your Love to search with their eyes. Breath in slowly. Walk only after you have looked around and engraved this moment in time. You picked this Ceremony spot because it spoke to you when you saw it\u00a0so by all means, breath in the scenery, the sounds and the smells of the place you will say “I do.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pause and Enjoy the Moment<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you’ve picked someone to walk you down the aisle, I am sure they are important to you. Being one or both of your parents\u00a0or even someone close, you’ve chosen them because they’ve impacted your life and you want to share this moment with them. Therefore, share a moment. A look, a small word, a silent “thank you” will remind them how much you appreciate them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Acknowledge who’s giving you away\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n When you are ready to walk down to your Love, make sure to do these:<\/span><\/p>\n The right way to hold your bouquet.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n This is such an important part of your ceremony. Having the right Officiant\/Minister\u00a0can put you at ease and make your Ceremony memorable for you and your guests. It is crucial you trust and feel comfortable with them, you need to agree with their views and the way they conduct a ceremony. When you interview them, ask questions and feel free to share your requests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n My favorite Wedding Officiants are engaging but don’t drag the ceremony. When you find your perfect Officiant, if they accept to\u00a0step aside for your first kiss, you have a winner! This guarantees only the two of you are in the photo without the Minister’s head in the way.<\/span><\/p>\n In these two weddings the Officiant stepped aside to let the couple shine.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Wedding vows can be nerve-raking (or nerve-wracking if you prefer – both are correct by the way<\/span><\/em>).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you are introvert, it is tempting to simply repeat the Officiant’s words and share your vow\u00a0that way but I am here to tell you, don’t. \u00a0It doesn’t matter how soft spoken, nervous or what a ball of mess you get, writing your own vows is one of the most powerful things you can share and do during your Wedding Ceremony. It doesn’t have to be long, or full of jokes\/stories\/insert blank here<\/em><\/span>, it has to come from the heart and the only person who needs to hear you is your Love. <\/span><\/p>\n Besides, these little pieces of papers make a treasure that your generations to come will love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Great vows can make you cry or laugh and you will remember them forever.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Okay, this one may be a little bit harsh but here it goes. Skip traditions that mean nothing to you. Just because they are out there doesn’t mean you have to do them. \u00a0If you really can’t stand the sand, why do a sand tradition?! Just because they come in pretty coordinating colors?<\/span><\/p>\n Only keep Ceremony traditions that are true to who you are as a couple. Communion, Jumping the Broom, and important readings by those you love are so much more meaningful than hiding booze in a box for the first fight. <\/span><\/p>\n Unless you like booze and you know you’ll fight soon to drink it all.<\/span><\/p>\n A meaningful tradition makes for a meaningful ceremony.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is your first KISS!! Come ON! It is\u00a0not a “Goodbye, see you later tonight” kind of kiss. This is a “We just got married, and it was awesome, and you shall give me my first marriage breath to celebrate it” kind of kiss! <\/span><\/p>\n So smooch for real. Once and twice. Make it count.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A\u00a0peck in the lips for a First Kiss can get you no First Kiss’ picture at all!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The moment is finally here and you have been shaking all this time. When the Minister finally says the words, you can breath again. \u00a0You have been pronounced “MARRIED!”\u00a0Let it all out and enjoy that moment. You’ve spent the money, the time and the energy making sure your Ceremony moment was a special one and it sure was, so Celebrate It!<\/span><\/p>\n When you wait 25 years to get married, you celebrate like Christine & Earnest.<\/strong><\/p>\n I always love this time. You are walking out with a new outfit, the married kind. Enjoy it by giving a kiss to your mother, hugging your father or high five-ing*<\/em> your Groomsman. Interact with those you love the most as you walk out a newly made Forever Union. How awesome is that! *yeah, I know I made that up<\/span>*<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Love those around you.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n As you walk out, have a moment with the person you just said “I’ll choose you over and over every day”. You’ve had one of the most exciting times of your life together, you’ve started a journey like no other, so kiss! \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Make this moment about what you’ve just went trough, make it about memories.<\/span><\/p>\n These Lovebirds went for the kiss right after leaving the wedding ceremony.<\/strong><\/p>\n Set up an area where you will wait for your family and bridal party to meet you. Allow them to love you and congratulate you, it is simply beautiful to witness.<\/span><\/p>\n The moment when Mom and Dad arrive.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I hope these eleven tips convince you to prepare for a ceremony that is about the two of you.\u00a0One you will forever remember.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Do not forget to check out the next Series below:<\/span><\/p>\n Top 5 Tips on Getting Ready on the Wedding Day!<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n2.\u00a0Share your moment<\/span><\/h3>\n
