Traditional wedding ceremonies are beautiful, but modernizing certain elements can make them even more special. Here are five wedding ceremony traditions you can update.
1. The Processional
Modern Twist: Instead of the traditional order, consider having both parents walk the bride down the aisle or have the bride and groom enter together.
2. Unity Ceremony
Modern Twist: Replace the unity candle with unique alternatives like a sand ceremony, wine blending, or planting a tree together.
3. Vows
Modern Twist: Write personalized vows that reflect your unique relationship, adding a personal and heartfelt touch to the ceremony.
4. Ring Exchange
Modern Twist: Instead of just rings, consider exchanging another meaningful item, like a bracelet or necklace, or adding a special inscription to your rings.
5. Readings
Modern Twist: Choose modern readings from favorite books, movies, or personal writings instead of traditional religious or poetic passages.
