This past weekend I lucky enough to be a part of a ceremony where a little extra time was spent on the details. The bride and groom had an outdoor ceremony on a beautiful May afternoon. The sun was shining and the sea breeze was blowing. Family, friends and guests all took their seats as the wedding party made its grand entrance. As the officiant welcomed guests and began the ceremony, she welcomed 4 very special people to share readings. Each reading gave a message, 2 of which were poems. The poems were unique, clever, and made the guests laugh as they were delivered. As the ceremony continued it was time to for the exchanging of the vows. The bride and groom had written their own vows. Each vow and message was heartfelt as it was delivered to each other and there wasn't a dry eye in the crowd. The messages talked about their experiences together and their commitment to each other.
A little extra time was spent on the details.
As part of a reception, I get to see some of the best (and sometimes not so great) wedding toasts. This is a part of the wedding where guests get to see into the lives of the bride and groom. Who better to tell their story than the Best Man and Maid of Honor? What makes good great? Spending the time on the details. Make sure the Best Man and Maid of Honor know how important the toast is to you. I have seen guests fall out of their seats laughing one minute and crying the next from a well thought out toast.
Just as with any part of your special day, a little extra thought and time looking at all the little details will make your day memorable.
