Great Chitter Chatter - Stories from Loud Voices

Since your marriage ceremony will be the highlight of a lifetime, you will want to consider that time spent in planning and details will be well rewarded.  This includes everything, right down to the arrangements for the wedding reception.

If you are getting prepared for planning a reception, here’s a look at how a standard one usually goes.

The wedding reception is often held immediately after the marriage service, usually as soon as possible.  As soon as the guests enter the reception area, they are acknowledged and escorted to their seats.  In the event that there is a set seating arrangement, this should be followed. If the reception seating is not assigned, then guests are welcome to find their own places and sit by whomever they would like.

After this, make sure that the primary sponsors and parents are led to their seats at the presidential table.

After just about everyone is seated, you can ask the wedding party to stand in the receiving area.  This should not include the primary sponsors or parents.  They all must get together at once.Order of march is flower girls first, ring bearers second, secondary sponsors third, groomsmen accompanying the bridesmaids and finaly the best man with maid of honor.

After this, the couple makes their grand entrance, to the accompaniment of effects such as confetti, bubbles, fog, etc.

After the couple enters, they should give recognition to the parents and main sponsors, letting them get up and signal with a wave. After this, ask the bride and groom to go towards the cake, for the cake cutting ceremony.  This is where, if you choose, the doves would be released, as well as a formal champagne toast.The maid of honor traditionally performs  an thanksgiving prayer at this time. After this comes the meal, in which the guests are called for pictures with the bride and groom.  After this, they go to the buffet table to run things at the table. There are several types of cheap wedding cake.

The guest performer performs once everybody gets their food and is situated.  The audio-visual presentation should be next.

After this, the best man does a grand toast, and then come words from well-wishers for the couple.  You should only allow a few of these, lest things get too bogged down.Once this is done, the Bride has a dance with her father, and then the groom steps in and enjoys a dance with his new wife.  Other dances, if done, can come after this.

At the  end of  a wedding there are traditional rituals where the bride tosses the bouquet and its said the one that catches it will be next to wed, likewise a male counterpart of the tradition with the brides garter belt being tossed to males the one to catch it is said to be next to be married.              Dont ever forget inexpensive wedding favors or western wedding favors!

There are many options for this.  Some wedding receptions don’t have live performers, for instance, and some incorporate a dance in which the groom’s mother dances with her son.  By just changing things a small amount, you can achieve the middle ground by not boring your guests, but not upsetting them either.

Engaged couples now have one more option on how to get married. In Sweden they are currently offering the opportunity to get married 30,000 feet in the air on a plane. Some 523 couples tied the knot at the infamous Swedish airport in 2008, an increase of six percent on the previous year, and that figure could rise further this year as a number of new wedding venues are made available. Travellers from any nationality will have the option to say their vows in Stockholm Arlanda’s air traffic control tower or even on the wing of a jumbo jet. Granted there will not be any wedding catering on board but the idea of this radical way of getting married is to put more of an emphasis on the honeymoon and not the actual wedding itself. Private caterers transport and photographers are normally so expensive in a wedding so what is the point? You may as well save yourself some money and get married at an airport on the way to your honeymoon.
Helena Miller who is a press officer at the airport said that For couples of want to prioritise their honeymoon trip, a wedding at Stockholm Arlanda directly in conjunction with an air trip to their desired spot for a honeymoon is a great solution.
Couples getting married receive the same service as royalty, Nobel Laureates, rock stars, corporate executives, sports stars and Presidents. The airport in Sweden offers VIP services that sees staff take care of couples on their special wedding day. The service also offers to check couples into their honeymoon accommodation whilst the ceremony is taking place on board the aircraft, now you cant get more convenient than that!
This is truly a unique way to get married and I’m sure this will start to catch on with people from around the world who are after something a little different.
