Your wedding should not only be special, it should be unique in the same way that you, your loved one, and your relationship are unique. Your wedding should show the guests who you are as a couple. Unique weddings range from traditional to the not-so-traditional.
You’ve heard of couples marrying in mid-air, while sky diving. You’ve probably heard of couples marrying under the surface of the ocean. These are unique ideas, but they may be more than what you are trying to accomplish.
Start by planning the wedding of your dreams. This is the wedding that you’ve always seen yourself at, as the bride. Use that dream as the core for your wedding, and then look for ways to make it unique.
One way to be unique is to request that people not bring or send wedding gifts. Instead, you can make arrangements through a local charity, and ask your friends and relatives to donate whatever they had intended to spend on your gift. This is not only a loving gesture, but it eliminates clutter when you and your spouse to be combine households. This is a good idea when you really already have everything that you need to set up and run a household.
You can choose a theme. Theme ideas include a spooky theme, a theme related to an old classic movie, a theme related to a holiday, or a theme related to a sport or hobby. You can get really creative with your decorations, and even ask the guests to come dressed in a certain way.
Most wedding receptions focus on the bride and groom. Why not move some of that focus to other married couples. For instance, if your grandparents have been married for sixty years, this is an accomplishment, and it should be recognized. There is no better time or place to do this than at your own wedding.
Remember that you are only limited by your imagination, and even though you want a unique wedding, you must also consider the comfort of your guests. When you are skydiving and getting married at the same time, the chances are good that the guests will not be jumping out of that plane with you!
