If you’re anything like me, traditional weddings aren’t your cup of tea. While yes, there are things that just make or break a wedding day, a general ceremony- isn’t something you have to settle on! Here are six ways you can customize your wedding ceremony and make it one to always remember!
1: A handfasting ceremony! This is a Celtic tradition of binding the couple’s hands together with ribbons, and either family members or the officiant wraps their hands in the braided ribbons symbolizing two becoming one!
2: Read a short letting to your parents. This is a great one either for your ceremony, a speech, or a first look! A special way of honoring those who raised you, and your love for them!

3: Have your family and wedding party surround and pray for you as a couple! The unique part of being that close to a couple on their wedding day: is that you are signifying that you stand with them, and support them in their marriage- today, and every day. Praying a blessing over the couple is such a spiritual, experience, and so significant as parents handing that responsibility to the couple!
4: If you’re afraid of reading your vow publicly- you CAN read them silently. Either to each other, without the mic, or exchange letters and read each others letters during your ceremony!
5: A foot-washing ceremony is a biblical one, signifying you are there to serve each other! This can be done either publicly, or privately as a couple!
6: Take a minute together to talk, and do on-the-spot vows to one another. After the unity ceremony, or signing the license, just take a minute to hold each other. Look out at the audience, memorize the feeling you have in this moment, and truly soak in that you’re about to get MARRIED!!!
