SPRING is the most popular wedding season and it’s no surprise really as the gorgeous wedding themes, beautiful flowers and a desire to get out and enjoy the warmth after winter are in abundance.
October is the most popular choice within the season and these days there are many options for where and what your day will look like whether you have an intimate gathering or a huge party for your wedding, vow renewal, commitment ceremony or something in between.
Events of the past couple of years have seen an increase in people wanting to renew their vows now that family and friends can get together again and share the commitment the couple made to each other.
Vow renewal ceremonies are not legally binding and you can renew your vows as many times as you like.
Doing so often makes couples feel closer and gives them a sense of togetherness as it is a celebration of marriage and a reinforcement of the union and promise made on their original wedding day.
For some couples, there is no better way to commemorate a milestone wedding anniversary such as the first, 10th, 25th or even 50th, than with a vow renewal ceremony.
Wedding registries while less popular now than in the past, newlyweds may nominate a website or retail store their guests can choose to purchase a gift from.
Often noted on the wedding invitation will be the store where the register is offered or a copy will be mailed with the invitation. There is no requirement to choose something from the couple’s registry specifically, although for some couples they might request it specifically.
Giving the perfect wedding speech you will need about three months to prepare for a speech, eight minutes for the ideal length and 25 practises of saying it out loud.
The perfect wedding speech has around 960 words and ‘experts’ say that 45 seconds is the longest
time you should spend on one story or anecdote while two is the maximum number of toasts you should give.
Of course the number and type of jokes you include will depend entirely on the couple, the audience and how well you think you can tell the punchline.
