Readings and Music for the Ceremony
The love for your fianc? or groom is no doubt very special and unique, and there is no arguing that marriage - one way or the other - is going to be a life altering experience for the two of you. For that reason it is worth putting some extra effort into planning the actual ceremony. Exchanging vows and having beautiful wedding readings is often an important part of the mix.
The traditional approach
What is considered a traditional ceremony vary according to the culture of a given Country and many national customs may also have fused over time.
In the classic Persian wedding for example, both the bride and the groom would dress in white with wreaths of flower on their necks, actually somewhat akin to the Hawaiian Lei. These wreaths of flower are still worn in modern wedding ceremonies in Pakistan (once an integral part of the great Persian Empire), but it is no longer present in the Iranian wedding ceremony.
In western countries various readings and exchanges of vows are most often a part of the ceremony. These days couples often add their own vows during a ceremony and have special readings and music added.
Music can enrich almost any event, and that is particularly true of a wedding! And you can certainly enrich your own ceremony with the beauty and grandeur of music, making it a true original, and one that your guests will remember for a long time. Musicians are usually happy to increase their repertoire and can advise if a piece of music is suitable for a certain part of the ceremony. Musicians may choose to offer a private consultation to select music (either at an additional cost or included in a package price) once you have hired them.
More than words
Unless you are going to the closest "Quickie-wed" in Las Vegas you should reserve plenty of time to create a custom ceremony after the vows have been exchanged. Couples can take this opportunity to unite not just their hearts, lives and families, but to unite their very beings. Couples often like to take separate religious vows at each of their given religious houses. Multicultural weddings are often very thorough and last several days in order to incorporate both cultures and events.
As for the wedding readings there is a very rich selection, ranging from classical ones from or more unusual ones. Not only from the bible, but from poetry and fiction as well.
Or how about this classical poem "My Luve" by Robert Burns:
"My Luve" by Robert Burns O my luve is like a red, red rose, That`s newly sprung in June: O my luve is like the melodie, That`s sweetly played in tune. As fair art thou, my bonie lass, So deep in luve am I; And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a` the seas gang dry. Till a` the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi` the sun; And I will luve thee still my dear, While the sands o` life shall run. And fare thee weel, my only luve! And fare thee weel a while! And I will come again, my luve, Tho` it were ten thousand mile
