10 ways to personalise your ceremony
  • 10 ways to personalise your ceremony

  • Think about introducing some personal touches with ten ways to do more than just say ‘I do’…

  • Write your own vows. If you're having a civil rather than church ceremony you'll be able to write vows that are special to you.

  • Are any of your friends singers? Ask them to sing ‘your song' during the service.

  • Include special pictures of you both on the order of service, complete with captions.

  • Swap the traditional wedding march for a piece of music meaningful to you both.

  • Add a memorable touch to your ceremony that you and your groom can do together, such as lighting a candle.

  • Play a soundtrack to your romance by using songs special to you both for walking up and down the aisle and during the ceremony.

  • Write a song and have it sung during the ceremony.

  • Ask one of your readers to write a short poem to read on the day.

  • Have photos of you and your family as you enter the room. Perhaps you could have pictures of both of your parents' wedding day, or pictures of you and the groom as children.

  • Book a gospel choir to serenade you and your guests with your specially selected music. There won't be a dry eye in the house!
