When a man and a woman decide to tie the knot, they have to solve many questions.
The most enjoyable and exciting moment is the wedding. I want this day to be remembered for the rest of my life, so that he would be happy.
Unfortunately, in fact, a wedding celebration is not a celebration for newlyweds, but for 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 balls, a wedding procession, a photo shoot in the park, a cafe or restaurant, a host, annoying 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 Although these traditions have long been outdated.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 the wedding.
10. Wedding is impossible without a registry office
Registration at the registry office is a rather boring event. A foreign woman is giving you a speech, and guests are yawning on the sidelines. In addition, no one canceled the queue.
You have to while away in the lobby, and if the summer is hot, then you definitely will not get pleasure. There is a solution - exit registration. True, you still have to come to the registry office and register a marriage.
Some people call exit registration a performance for guests, but it’s very beautiful and original. Recently, more and more newlyweds give her preference.
9. The newlyweds walk
After the newlyweds registered their marriage, they usually conduct a photo shoot.
The bride and groom are invited to proceed to memorable places, city attractions. The photographer begins to shoot.
Have you ever thought that yesterday he also photographed other newlyweds in the same way? And a week ago too? Surely all of your acquaintances have similar photos.
Depart from these rules. Organize your unforgettable photo shoot. Spend it in the studio or in the place where you met. Most likely, there are many more places in your city where you can make great photos.
In general, a photo shoot can be held on any other day. It takes too much strength and nerves. In addition, guests do not know what to do while the photographer is engaged in honeymooners.
8. Buyback required
What is a ransom-free wedding? This opinion is shared by older relatives. If you want to please them and do not mind having a little fun yourself, then feel free to agree to the most insane offers of the host.
If the groom does not want to read poems and jokes, push ups, shout about his love and do many more different (strange) actions, then refuse the ransom.
Recently, newlyweds prefer to dress the bride in a hotel. In the room you can arrange an excellent photo shoot. The bride and her friends will be happy to pose a bit.
After all, not every apartment has a suitable interior. Photos on the background of a bookcase or floral wallpaper is not the best option.
7. Celebrate in the restaurant
Yes, most newlyweds choose a cafe or restaurant for the celebration. If you want to make your wedding memorable, come up with something else, 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 to hold a celebration in nature. This is much nicer 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 an expensive pleasure, but you can realize all your wildest dreams.
6. Be sure to invite all relatives and friends
Perhaps this is the most difficult question 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 why you should see at your wedding the granddaughter of your second cousin aunt?
Make a list of the people you want to see at your celebration. Invite only those you know and who will sincerely rejoice for you. Otherwise, you are guaranteed surprises.
Someone will go too far with alcohol and behave obscenely, someone will not like the menu. The mood will be spoiled. Do not try to please all relatives, invite only those who are dear to you.
5. White dress
White wedding dress symbolizes the innocence and purity of the bride. If you want to deviate from tradition and choose an outfit of a different color, this is quite possible.
The wedding dress does not have to be a classic cut. Someone chooses a fluffy skirt, someone “fish”, someone short. There are many options.
Do not 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 pick up two pairs of shoes for the dress: on heels and without them. Walking all day on stilettos is very difficult, so take care of your legs and prepare another (comfortable!) Shoes.
4. Transport - limousine only
Many believe that the best transport for newlyweds is a limousine.
Of course, this is a personal matter of the bride and groom, but the limousine has its drawbacks. This car is not sufficiently maneuverable, it can "get stuck" in a narrow street.
If you have little time, choose something else, limos are very slow.
You should also pay attention to other cars in the wedding procession. If these are old murdered foreign cars and battered Lada cars, the limousine simply won’t fit into this company. Although they can also be a miserable sight.
If the car is old, and its appearance is poor, discard this venture.
3. No toastmaster
Many people perceive the host and leader as one and the same. In fact, the host is invited in order to entertain the guests, the host controls the course of the holiday.
The time of uncomfortable contests and stupid toasts has long passed, the host 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 your own entertainment program.
2. The dance of the newlyweds must be slow
Most newlyweds are sure that at the wedding you need to dance a slow dance, usually a waltz. The bride and groom take lessons, step on each other's feet. Well, if you have the ability, and you move perfectly, and if not?
Dance can be any. Do not be afraid to experiment and surprise your guests.
1. The best gift is money
There are many opinions on this subject. If you want to pay off the wedding, are planning a purchase of a home, then inform the guests that you accept only 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, photograph and send it to guests.
Do not be shy and do not think that it is "uncomfortable." Often, guests puzzle over the question: "What to give?". If you decide to visualize desires, then they will have less headache.
If your expectations are not met, the guests will give you “wrong” gifts, or the wedding will not pay off, do not get upset. You didn’t hold a celebration for this. Forget about money and enjoy your honeymoon.
