April Wise Photography

You’ve been to lots of weddings, but now that you are planning your own you may find yourself second guessing what is supposed to happen at the ceremony and in what order. Don’t worry, everyone has these same uncertainties. So here is a quick lesson in the Wedding Ceremony.

Pre-Ceremony Events. Guest are seated to background music; parents are seated to special music with the Bride’s mother being seated last; the Groom enters along with the officiant and groomsmen; the bridesmaids, flower girl and ring bearer enter to special music; and the Bride enters on her father’s arm to special music as all guests stand.

Ceremony Events. The officiant speaks some opening words. Vows are exchanged between the Bride and Groom, the rings are exchanged, and then the Bride and Groom kiss. Additional elements may be added to the ceremony. Many couples choose to light a unity candle or to honor their mothers with presentation of roses. You may have special readings during the ceremony or a full religious service. You may have special songs played or sung at certain parts of the ceremony. You may want certain cultural or religious elements shared at your ceremony. Hawaiians may exchange leis, Christians may have communion, etc. It’s your ceremony so feel free to personalize it as you choose.

Post-Ceremony Events. The officiant may introduce you to your guests as the new Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Then the wedding party exits led by the Bride and Groom. The wedding guests then gather for refreshments and mingling while the wedding party and family take formal photographs. Once complete, the wedding party makes their grand entrance into the reception.
