Getting Married
Please check our pages for great deals and tips.
Your wedding can be an occasion of great ceremony and
tradition, or it can make a dramatic statement about you, the
wedding couple. Or it can be a more casual, intimate affair.
It can reflect your lifestyle - and be an unusual, individual, or
even bizarre event or one with a huge element of fun - after all
it will be one of the happiest days of your life.
Newlyweds have been known to skydive out of a hot air
balloon. Weddings have been performed under water, on
horseback or in mid air - with theatricality or in plain clothes
in a registry office.
Many couples plan theme weddings or even fantasy weddings.
Traditional weddings such as a full nuptial mass are being
overtaken by less formal weddings.
But the one thing that characterises even the most
contemporary of wedding ceremonies is the old fashioned
concept of marriage. And of course, the celebration of a great
love.
People are thinking more seriously of the commitment
involved in marriage. Couples wait longer before tying the
knot, women are older before starting a family.
The day of the wedding is a cause for universal excitement
and unforgettable happiness. It is a day to unashamedly take
centre stage and enjoy yourself to the utmost. A day when
the atmosphere is electric and the emotion is overwhelming.
A day that’s perfect in every detail.
A contemporary wedding is often a mix of elements - tailored
to the couple’s requirements. For example a religious wedding
can still be performed in a less formal garden setting.
Couples nowadays routinely omit the old fashioned ‘obey’ from
their vows and family or spiritual traditions can be woven into
an individually designed ceremony.
Rarely is tradition completely dispensed with. It’s rare to
find a wedding lacking the words ‘I do’ or a bride who freely
discards the superstition of ‘something old, something new,
something borrowed, something blue’.
A bride still usually wears white or cream. There’s always a
ring. There’s always a kiss. And it’s a rare wedding in which
‘Here Comes the Bride’ is not heard.
A highlight of any wedding is always the tossing of the bride’s
bouquet and it’s hard to find a wedding that doesn’t have a
traditional wedding cake.
And there are other constants. Mothers of the bride always
shed a tear and single best friends always wonder if they will
be next to marry.
If you haven’t already done so, announce your wedding to the
world with an advertisement in your local or metropolitan
newspaper. You should be able to find the relevant forms at
your local newsagency. Traditionally the bride’s parents pay
for the engagement notice although couples may choose to pay
for this themselves.
