There are so many distinctive approaches for wedding ceremonies. Our family looks to buck the trends and skip the custom in favor of personalizing our wedding ceremonies. When my partner and I got married we were very youthful – not even out of our teens when we determined to try to make a go of it. Being a little rebel didn’t aid much in creating the event passable to grandparents and older friends of the family. But, we did it our way, and I had my short wedding dress that I had to have (I had just gotten my personal trainer certification and wanted to show off my legs!), and my partner only trimmed his hair, leaving it long, but slicked back for the big day. At the time, we didn’t see the point of me varying my last name either, since we both worked in the same office and couldn’t be bothered with the hassle and confusion. So too, I wasn’t a big fan of his family, and seeing as my parents had quickly come to adopt him in a sense, it seemed like if any name changing might be done, he’d be the more likely party to change – not me!! So now, twelve years and two children later, I’m still the odd-man-out. We every now and then joke that it’s about time I joined the family, but that notion never looks to last.

I have two younger sisters. They are both officially single, although 1 is approaching the big day rather quickly. Both girls unquestionably have big ideas for wedding ceremonies. Although neither 1 needs anything over-the-top or ultra-extravagant, both are still sticking to our 1 family custom: bucking the trends! For starters, my sis is insisting on pink sapphires for her engagement ring. She’s a dermatologist that helps people with how to get rid of cold sores and figures her job is conventional enough, she doesn’t want her ring to be! The 1 ring that she looks pretty stuck on does have a diamond in the center. However, this stone is flanked by two very well-known pink sapphires that my sis swears she’s stick with forever. That’s just the beginning of her jaunt from custom. The other sister is into boxer dog training. I’m not sure when she’ll get married.

So many girls these days try to mime their plans for wedding ceremonies like paper dolls. These days each girl looks to need a solitaire diamond, and most of these diamonds simply must be princess cut. I personally prefer that particular cut, or even the emerald cut has a nice look to it, but what’s the point of everybody deciding on the exact same ring? It looks like when it comes to plans for wedding ceremonies, our world is made up of conformists with no ideas of their own. A wedding is supposed to be 1 of the most important, distinct days of your life – a time to flaunt your individuality and an chance to add personal flourishes each step of the way. Hopefully this notion will take root and none of us will be subjected to monotonous, plain white dresses, 1 mimicked after another, monotonous wedding speeches and conventional last songs. Here’s to a new revolution for wedding ceremonies and enough of this copycat business!
