Honeymoon

These basic ones can make a wedding special for the bride/groom/bridal party and family members. Personalized Vows in wedding ceremonies are being written by the bride and groom. Many couples wrote their own vows and it made the day very special. When the bride and groom take the time to personalize the most important words they'll ever say to each other it is very touching and personal and gets the reception to think "Wow this couple is serious about their wedding. They're not just getting married and going thru the motions oof a wedding ceremony,instead they are getting married to each other." That's a big difference.

The old standards "for better or worse" vows are not appropriate for the bride and groom in today's society. These people have been through better and worse. If you can plan a wedding together, you can live together, buy a house together, etc.

And vows should be meaningful.Bring up stories dating back to high school or grade school of the two of you were dating then.If you have an embarrassing story that shows how much your husband loves you, please share it with all so that we may mock him mercilessly at the reception. This is why we come to weddings.

Open Bar:

Going to a wedding reception that does not have an open bar is like going to the beach and seeing only the ocean without the boardwalk,restaurants and nite clubs,etc.

An open bar is you gift or should returning the favors to all the guests and bridal party. You can provide your guests with an opportunity to make total asses of themselves in a rented space. You win out in the long run because you will own your reception video-and what is left of their reputations-forever.

Speech by the Best Man:

First and foremost it must come from the heart. Don't read off a long speech that has been written down. You do not have to be polictically perfect/ Keep it real!! Everyone always pays attention to the best man's speech. They really listen. Yes. they all pay real close attention when the best man speaks. Have you ever wondered why? The best man's speech is the ultimate soap opera with all the personal stuff that occurred between the Bride and Groom during their per wedding relationship. The Bestman a man who's probably a lifelong friend of the groom. This man knows in the back of his mind that their friendship will never be the same. No one in the room has more to lose by this couple getting married.The Bestman is losing his best friend and facing many a lonely weekend going out without his best friend. If this man can give his blessing, then who can object? And that's why we listen to his words, because he is the most objective person in the room, because what he is expressing himself from the heart.

The Honeymoon:

Many parents now pay for their daughter's honeymoon. Many people from Eastern US are going to Vegas,Hawaiian or the Islands.Don't follow tradition the two of you should decide where you would like to go. Remember this is the person you will be spending the rest of your life with,not with the rest of the world. Enjoy your honeymoon and have a great life together.
