photo: michael segal Last summer a couple hired me fortheir wedding that took place last month. We had a great first meeting—they wanted a ceremony that honored them asa couple and that included certain cultural traditions. Because they booked me so far out, Isuggested we get together again after the holidays, in mid-January. I left it up to the couple to contact me,though I assured them that I’m available at any time.
Well, the couple emailed me justtwo weeks before their wedding and they didn’t have time to meet inperson. The bride explained that she’dbeen so busy with other preparations that she “totally” forgot about theceremony.
Sadly, they weren’t able to haveany of the personal elements they’d wanted—not even their own vows––becausethey’d run out of time. They were toobusy with last minute details to worry about the ceremony.
As a wedding officiant I’m biased,as I happen to believe the ceremony is the heart and soul of yourcelebration. I felt for this bride whowas so obsessed with creating her dream wedding that she neglected theceremony.
I’m surprised at the number ofcouples who talk about their “dream” reception, “dream honeymoon,” BUT have noidea what their “dream” ceremony looks like.
I do think you can have a greatreception even if you have a dreadful ceremony. However, if you have a great ceremony, it propels your guests into theparty and reminds them of what it is they’re celebrating.
So, are you able to say what yourdream ceremony looks like?
