1. The arrival of the bride and groom
Traditionally, the father accompanies the bride to where the ceremony takes place and where the groom awaits her.
But each couple can freely choose how to handle this initial part: the bride and groom can arrive separately or together, accompanied by their parents or children.
Parents can be involved at the beginning of the ceremony by the celebrant, who can ask them if they are ready to welcome their son or daughter’s partner and support them in all their choices.
2. Reading or dedication from a friend
Reading a poem or text is a very suitable way to involve a friend or relative in the ceremony.
This person could write a dedication to make the ceremony even more personalised. There can be more than one reading during the ceremony.
3. Lasso ceremony
his traditional ritual in Mexican, Filipino and Spanish cultures takes place after the vows have been said.
The celebrant (or whoever the couple has designated) drapes the couple of floral garlands or white ribbon, orange blossom, cloth, silver, crystal or elaborately painted wood, transforming it into a symbol of infinity.
At the end of the ceremony, the giver of the lace removes it and the couple keeps it as a symbol of their love and unity.
You can involve witnesses or people you want to give a special task to during this ceremony.
"Thank you for making our ceremony special! It was very emotional and full of beautiful words! I couldn't have asked for better!" R.
