Memorable Events of my Life

More people are choosing their own wedding vows rather than leaving it to their priest, pastor, Rabbi, or other religious leader to decide which vows the bride and groom should make to one another. Many more people are taking an active role in this decision.

One way to choose wedding vows is by faith. For most people, getting marriage is a commitment of body, soul, and faith. Getting married means marrying the whole person and that person’s family as well. Therefore, making the wedding vows reflect their deep commitment to each other and the life they will build together is a good idea.

Wedding invitations are one of the most time consuming factors of a wedding. First a guest list has to be decided, and then the pattern of stationery must be selected. Next each invitation must be written, addressed, and mailed. Finally all the R.S.V.P’s must be sorted so a final guest list can be compiled.

The guest list can be decidedly hard to make because most people want to share their special day with everyone they know. A large guest list can really eat up a wedding budget and can make the entire ceremony feel less personal. Once a wedding list has been decided upon, choosing the wedding invitations is the next task. Some people choose to choose a font style and color that coordinates with the wedding theme or colors. It is common to choose good quality card stock in a shade between true white and ivory.

Luckily bakers can make the task of choosing a cake much easier. Many bakers have a portfolio of cakes they have made in the past as well as catalogs of wedding toppers and even more design ideas.

At the reception it is traditional for the father of the bride, the groom, and the best man to give a small wedding speech before the cake is sliced and dessert is served. These speeches are usually given in good humor and intended to get both sides of the newly formed family laughing and talking together.

If the wedding is being hosted by a master of ceremonies, he or she should be informed exactly who would like to speak and in which order they would like to be introduced. If there is no master of ceremonies, the people giving speeches will have to introduce each other in the order of which they are speaking.
