Wedding Quickie! - Which Wedding Ceremony Do You Love?

In this Wedding Quickie I will be sharing with you some of the choices you will have about incorporating special ceremonies into your wedding day. Whether you are having a traditional wedding ceremony or an off-beat wedding you are likely to have some special ceremonies incorporated into the day that are meaningful and personal to you and your family. This wedding quickie highlights the top three wedding ceremonies that are typically incorporated into wedding ceremonies; however, there are plenty more found in the many cultures, heritages, and beliefs that are held when partaking in weddings.

The sand ceremony is a fairly new and modern take on a unity ceremony similar to the unity candle. Each partner in the ceremony have a container of sand each a different colour. As they pour the sand into a third container the colours merge and become interconnected much like the individuals joining their lives together in the ceremony.

    This is something we all desire for our wedding. Well, my reception hall at San Diego Wedding venues, which I have reserved for my wedding reception, is also good and I am super excited for the day.
