The basics of any wedding ceremony
The Wedding Ceremony
Though some of the traditional wedding ceremony is still being used in many weddings, there are new customs and traditions that are being invented to suit the new way people are relating and even meeting. The world has changed very much since weddings became what they are, and this means the those ceremonies have to change with the times. Though there are some who stick to the traditional wedding in every way, many are making adjustments, whether they are large or small, to fit what they think a marriage should be.
One common change to the wedding ceremony is to change the vows. When I married, our minister gave us a selection of vows from which to choose, and also told us that we were welcome to read our own if we wished. Since we both thought we would not like to read ours, even though it would be neat to write them, we decided to go with some traditional vows. We did, however, made some modifications. Our first modification to the vows was that the word ëobeyí would not be included. The thought of obeying each other was funny to each of us.
Some people are altering their wedding ceremony to include any children that may be involved. Some have their children in the wedding as flower girls, bridesmaids, ushers, or groomsmen. Others turn their wedding ceremony into a family union ceremony. This is always a brilliant idea, as the children feel that they are being joined in the new family and they feel important and loved. Though not everyone chooses to do this for various reasons, it is becoming more popular.
The basics of any wedding ceremony remain the same however. Most couples make vows and exchange rings with each other. Other than that, what a couple wants to do is up to them. Come faiths will not allow such changes, but many will. The ceremony should reflect the life of the couple, and should be something they will cherish forever. The wedding ceremony should not be built to please the guests, but rather to please the couple. However, it is always a nice touch to keep the guests comfort in mind while planning. They will love you for it. Though people are always honored to be invited to a wedding, some brides and grooms donít think about them while planning, they sometimes they end up having a very miserable time due to long length of ceremony or time between ceremony and reception.

Although it’s true that weddings should not be built to please guests, I don’t think many wedding guests would admit to having a “miserable time” because of the length of the ceremony.
After all, the ceremony is the most important part of the whole day.
If you really want to have children taking part during the ceremony then you need to pay a wedding planner. Too many thing must be coordinated at the same time. The bride should not have so much stress looking after so many details. My opinion of course.
