When a man and a woman decide to tie the knot, there are many questions to be resolved.
The most pleasant and exciting moment is the wedding. I want this day to be remembered for the rest of my life, to be happy.
Unfortunately, in fact, a wedding celebration is not a holiday for the newlyweds, but for the guests. They have fun and relax, while the bride and groom are worried about every little thing.
Of course, this does not happen to everyone, but only to those who dream of a perfect wedding. A white dress, a black suit, a car with rings and balloons, a wedding procession, a photo session in a park, a cafe or a restaurant, a toastmaster, contests that are boring to everyone …
If you dream about it, then do a traditional wedding. Although these traditions have long been outdated. The celebration can be held in a completely different way.
Below are 10 misconceptions and myths about marriage.
10 A wedding is impossible without a registry office
Registration in the registry office is a rather boring event. A strange woman reads a speech to you, and the guests yawn on the sidelines. In addition, no one canceled the queue.
You have to while away the time in the lobby, and if it’s a hot summer outside, then you definitely won’t get pleasure. There is a way out – exit registration. True, you still have to come to the registry office and register the marriage.
Some call exit registration a performance for guests, but it is very beautiful and original. Recently, more and more newlyweds give her preference.
9. Newlyweds walk
After the newlyweds have registered their marriage, they usually hold a photo session.
The bride and groom are offered to go to memorable places, city sights. The photographer starts shooting.
Have you ever thought that yesterday he also photographed other newlyweds in the same way? And a week ago too? Surely all your familiar couples have similar photos.
Get off these rules. Organize your unforgettable photo session. Spend it in the studio or in the place where you met. Chances are, there are many more places in your city where you can take great photos.
And in general, a photo session can be held on any other day. It takes too much strength and nerves. In addition, the guests do not know what to do while the photographer is engaged in the newlyweds.
8. Ransom required
What is a wedding without a ransom? This opinion is shared by older relatives. If you want to please them and don’t mind having a little fun yourself, then feel free to agree to the craziest offers of the toastmaster.
If the groom does not want to read poetry and jokes, do push-ups, shout about his love and do many other (strange) actions, then refuse the ransom.
Recently, newlyweds prefer to dress up the bride in a hotel. In the room you can arrange a great photo session. The bride and her friends are happy to pose for a bit.
After all, not every apartment has a suitable interior. Photos against a bookcase or floral wallpaper are not the best option.
7. Celebrate in a restaurant
Yes, most newlyweds choose a cafe or restaurant for their celebration. If you want to make your wedding memorable, think of something different, more original.
If the celebration is planned in the summer, there are a lot of opportunities. It is better to choose a recreation center or hold a celebration in nature. It is much more pleasant than sitting in a stuffy room.
By the way, in spring and autumn, you can also arrange a holiday in nature. To do this, you will have to order insulated tents. Of course, this is not a cheap pleasure, but you can make all your wildest dreams come true.
6. Be sure to invite all family and friends
Perhaps this is the most difficult issue that the newlyweds have to solve. Young people do not want to offend anyone, but sometimes there is not enough money for everyone.
Even if you do not pay attention to spending, think about it, why would you want to see your second cousin’s great-niece at your wedding?
Make a list of people you would like to see at your celebration. Invite only those whom you know and who sincerely rejoice for you. Otherwise, you are guaranteed surprises.
Someone will go too far with alcohol and behave indecently, someone will not be satisfied with the menu. The mood will be ruined. Do not try to please all relatives, invite only those who are dear to you.
5. White dress
The white wedding dress symbolizes the innocence and purity of the bride. If you want to break away from tradition and choose an outfit in a different color, this is quite possible.
A wedding dress does not have to be a classic cut. Someone chooses a fluffy skirt, someone “fish”, someone short. Lots of options.
Don’t be afraid to stand out from the crowd of other brides. This is your holiday and you decide which dress to choose. The main thing is that you feel comfortable in it.
Do not forget to match the dress with two pairs of shoes: with and without heels. Walking in high heels all day is very hard, so take care of your feet and prepare one more (comfortable!) shoes.
4. Transport – limousine only
Many believe that the best transport for newlyweds is a limousine.
Of course, this is a personal matter for the bride and groom, but the limousine has its drawbacks. This car is not maneuverable enough, it can get stuck in a narrow street.
If you are short on time choose something else, the limousines are very slow.
You should also pay attention to other cars in the wedding cortege. If these are old dead foreign cars and battered Zhiguli, the limousine simply will not fit into this company. Although they, too, can be a pitiful sight.
If the car is old and its appearance leaves much to be desired, give up this idea.
3. Can’t do without toastmaster
Many people perceive the toastmaster and the host as one and the same. In fact, the toastmaster is invited to entertain guests, the host controls the course of the holiday.
The time of uncomfortable competitions and stupid toasts is long gone, the toastmaster is a relic of the past. It is better to choose a host who will arrange a real holiday for your guests without a hint of vulgarity.
If the wedding is small, you can not invite anyone at all, but organize an entertainment program on your own.
2. The dance of the newlyweds must be slow
Most newlyweds are sure that a slow dance should be danced at the wedding, usually a waltz. The bride and groom take lessons, step on each other’s feet. It’s good if you have the ability and you move great, but what if you don’t?
Dance can be anything. Don’t be afraid to experiment and surprise your guests.
1. The best gift is money
There are many opinions on this matter. If you want to recoup your wedding or are considering buying a home, then let your guests know that you are only accepting money.
If you want every guest to have a memory, make a wish-list. Think about what you would like to receive as a gift, arrange it all on a piece of paper, draw or find suitable pictures, take a picture and send it to guests.
Don’t be shy and don’t think it’s “inconvenient”. Often guests puzzle over the question: “What to give?”. If you decide to visualize desires, then they will have one less headache.
If your expectations are not met, the guests will give you the “wrong” gifts, or the wedding will not pay off, you should not be upset. You did not arrange a celebration for this. Forget money and enjoy your honeymoon.
