| Your ceremony will be perfect. Whether it takes place
in a church, temple, sanctuary, courthouse, chapel, or in the wide
outdoors, the most important thing about the entire day is marrying
the love of your life and the vows you will take on that day. This
is what makes it simply perfect -- despite anything else that occurs.
Wedding ceremonies are uniquely personal. Often, brides will
combine traditions from their faith with special touches unique
to their relationship. One way this is accomplished is with a
special ceremony reading. We assembled some of the best ceremony
readings for you. Read them here. |

| The Guest Book Years ago, the wedding guest book was essential as a written record of the witnesses to a wedding. Today, it serves more as a cherished keepsake forthe bride and groom. Many brides place their traditional guest books on a table at the ceremony location so guests may sign it as they come in. Modern couples often opt for a mat signing board with their photo in it. While still other couples are choosing elaborate scrapbooks for their guests contribute to during the reception. A new tradition is emerging, called the Wedding Gamesake. In this do-it-yourself game kit, the guest book is built as a personaized game during all the activities that lead up to the wedding and is completed at the reception! Guests create the game cards by writing memories of the bride and groom and signing them (e.g. Move forward 3 spaces for that great holiday party in 2001! Love, Beth). The bride and groom can then play the game on their honeymoon and anniversaries for loads of nostalic fun! |

| Music for the Ceremony Discuss your musical selections with clergyman performing the ceremony. In some cases, he or she must approve the selections before they can be used. Be sure to arrange for appropriate sound systems and/or equipment. If you have recorded music, find out if you need a cassette tape or a CD. Many churches only have a cassette player! Also, if you have live music, you may have to request microphones, music stands, etc. Caution! If you have a song that must be cued up on cassette, make SURE it's cued properly. We heard a story of a local wedding where the bride wanted "From this Moment" to be played during the unity candle lighting. Unfortunately, the tape wasn't cued properly and the final words from the previous song played first --- Shania Twain singing, "Don't be Stupid!"
