Your wedding is one of the most important days in your life and, regardless of whether you are not so much into the whole wedding ceremony and every other tradition that follows it or you are a hopeless romantic who enjoys it all, you cannot deny the fact that you want your wedding day to be special. If you are a woman, then having the most unforgettable wedding is certainly something you have dreamed about your whole life.
Maybe you are one of those people who want to have an extravagant formal wedding that includes each and every tradition common in your culture or religion. However, what if you dont want to have a traditional wedding? What if you wish for an informal wedding that is void of any tradition?
Either way, your wedding day is your and your loved ones special day and you should plan it whichever way you want. You should celebrate your love exactly the way you want to and make memories that will last forever.
Nevertheless, you should know that there is something more to wedding traditions than you may think. Of course, you can make traditions of your own, but nourishing some of the already established ones is definitely something you should do, even if you decide to have an informal wedding, and here are the reasons why.
1. Its All About Community
When you plan your wedding day, you make a list of people you want to celebrate it with (unless, of course, you plan on eloping with your loved one). You want to share your special moments with them and, although your entire day will certainly be filled with such moments, the very special ones that everyone associates with weddings are definitely not those when you open a bottle of champagne or dance the night away. Those are you giving a speech, cutting the cake, and most of all, your wedding ceremony.
When your family and friends witness your wedding vows, not only do they share in your special moment of commitment, but they also often reminisce about their own wedding vows or reaffirm the love they have for one another. By having a wedding ceremony, you will provide yourself, your loved one and your every wedding guest with a powerful gift of love. Also, the tradition of giving away the bride is something every parent dreams of, so nourishing that tradition will certainly melt their heart.
2. Make Your Wedding Timeless
You may think that your wedding will be one of the most memorable ones for every person attending. That might be true, but including at least some traditional aspects in your wedding will, without a question, make it truly timeless.
What kind of a wedding would it really be if there was no ceremony, no exchange of wedding vows, no tossing of the bridal bouquet? It would be just an ordinary party, which is definitely not something your guests will remember. Of course, its important that you and your loved one cherish it and have a wonderful time, but would you really have a great time if most of your guests are not?
Therefore, give it some thought and plan a wedding day that both you lovebirds and your guests will remember for the rest of your lives, and that means sprucing up your day with wedding traditions that literally scream love and romance.
3. The Moment of Your First Kiss
Obviously, you already had your first kiss, so whats all this about? Its about your first kiss as husband and wife, and it is completely mesmerizing when it happens right after the wedding ceremony, when youre surrounded by all the people you love and care about.
If you decide not to have a wedding ceremony, you lose that special moment of the first official kiss, when all eyes are on you and your partner and you can literally feel love in the air. More importantly, you lose the opportunity to preserve that moment forever by having someone take a picture of the two of you sharing the kiss.
So dont miss out on that beautiful part of your wedding day, and dont forget to hire an expert photographer who can perfectly capture it and provide you with an amazing gift. Click here to contact Marcus Anthony.
