Add a personal touch to your wedding!
A perfect wedding is not only considered beautiful experience but it is also considered very personal. It signifies special details that hold tremendous meaning for you and your fiancé. Listed below are exceedingly simple ways to include your own subtle and distinctive touches to your wedding ceremony and reception:

• Write down the vows of your own wedding. It does not necessarily have to be like poetry; the important factor is that it should come from within your heart. Have it printed on an index card and keep it ready for use during the wedding ceremony.
• Make a CD with songs that signify your relationship or of the history of how it began and evolved. Ensure you play it during your wedding reception or even burn a copy of the CD and hand it out as souvenirs. Include a small note with a short explanation of why those songs were chosen by you.
• During your reception, present your mother or a dear friend with your bouquet instead of tossing it. An additional bouquet can be made for your groom to enable him to present it to his mother. • Very often guests have plenty of free time on their hands during the reception. Place several pens and tiny pieces of paper in an attractive basket at the center of the table. Request your guests to pen down their wishes, their prayers or their advice for both you and your fiancé. Create a scrapbook with this. • Almost all wedding reception programs orbit around the married couple with friends giving speeches. For a change do something for your guests. Create a video of you and your fiancé talking about the people who have helped you to learn the meaning of true love. Choose to mention friends who have been loyal to you and who have stood by you in times of need. Also mention family members who have made immense sacrifices for you. Combine your video with their photographs. This is your way of conveying your gratitude and saying thanks to them. • In case you have a family member or a very close friend who has departed, make him/her a part of the occasion by placing a small photo in your bouquet or by offering tribute to the departed soul by lighting a candle at the church ceremony. • If your roots are from an ethnic background, integrate a marriage ritual from the culture you belong to and perform it during your wedding reception.
• You can wear an heirloom. For instance, you could adorn your head with your grandma’s veil or wear an ornament that belongs to your mother. By this way a connection and continuity between generations is established, celebrating your own unique family while you go on to begin your very own.
• Make an audio-video presentation and have it played during the final dance of the father with the bride. A simple montage of childhood photographs can be included in this. A journey down memory lane will definitely be a tear-jerker!
• If you already have children, ask them to stand next to you while you say your solemn vows. This will help them feel like they are part of the new family.
• Incorporate tiny elements that say something about your relationship as a couple. For instance, if you are giving picture frames as parting gifts, then insert a hand written poem or a copy of your wedding vows. If your romance started on a beach (and you do not wish to have a beach- themed wedding) then you can decorate your table centerpiece with shells.
