Ceremony Ritual Ideas
Wedding rituals have been with us since time immemorial. They are used to signify the love and affection a couple have for each other and the commitment they are about to make, and they make a beautiful inclusion in any wedding ceremony.
Some couples prefer to include symbolic rituals that reflect their personalities or represent them as a couple.
In some instances, rituals are included to add a cultural element to a ceremony.
In others, couples simply include a symbolic ritual for no other reason than they want to do something different during their ceremony.
And why not?
The following are some examples of popular rituals often included in modern wedding ceremonies. These can be done in addition to, or as an alternative to the exchanging of wedding rings.
You may well have some ideas of your own for the inclusion of rituals that are significant to you and will make your ceremony even more special to you, your family, and your friends. If you have, please get in touch and I will happily discuss them with you!
My promise to you is a magical, meaningful, and memorable experience for both you and your guests, whatever the occasion.
When should you do your ritual?
It's important to remember that the exact order of your wedding ceremony will depend on your religion, culture, and personal preferences. Most unity rituals are performed after your officiant's remarks, shortly before you exchange vows and wedding rings, which is then followed by the celebratory first kiss.
Who should you include in your ritual?
Certain wedding ceremony ritual/unity ideas will always include family members and loved ones, especially during cultural or religious ceremonies. For secular and non-denominational unity rituals, who you include is entirely up to you. If you and/or your partner have children and you're merging families together, it's common to include your children in the ritual/unity ceremony as well.
