Have you met the man of your life, and now planning to get married? Why not hire a professional wedding planner to help you?
Planning for your wedding day is an exciting experience, but it can also be stressful. This is one of the reasons many people look for wedding planners. These professionals can help you from choosing the right venue and the perfect attire for your wedding day. This however, does not mean you have to leave everything to them. You should also have your own ideas. The role of the wedding planner is to help you achieve your dream wedding. They may make some suggestions, but you and your partner still call the shots. If you're having problems figuring out what you want, here are some gay wedding ideas that may help you.
Who should marry you?
Your first step is to find the right officiant for the ceremony. You may ask a judge to sanction your union. You may also look for an Ethical Humanist from the American Ethical Union. Some gay couples ask their friends or relatives to do the honor. If you're planning for a religious ceremony, talk to a minister or rabbi from the congregation to which you or your partner belongs. If you can not find one, you may also check the Unitarian Universalist, Universal Life, or Metropolitan church. These communities support same-sex marriage.
How does the ceremony work?
You can make your own flow for the ceremony. You just need to discuss everything to the minister ahead of time. Keep in mind that a wedding ceremony is a binding ritual between two people. Make it as simple as possible. It should be intimate and sincere. You can start with the basic outline of a traditional wedding. To give you more ideas, here are the basic elements of an intimate wedding:
– Blessing of the officiant
This is where the officiant gives his or her blessings. They may also say a few words about you and your relationship.
– Declaration of vows
Having your own vows is the best way to celebrate your commitment to each other. You can do this in many ways. You may draw what you like from traditional religious or secular vows; adapt lines from poems or songs; or start from scratch and express your feelings in your own words.
– Ring exchange
The best way to look for gay man ring is to search online; but if you've already given each other a ring, you may add bands to go with them or re-enact the ring exchange with a few special words. You may choose not to wear your rings on your left hand, as this only suggests you're married the "traditional" way. Most gay and lesbian couples prefer wearing their rings on their right hands.
– Joining rituals
Most gay couples do not include same sex marriage issues on their readings. They usually read about the power of love, friendship, trust, growth, and companionship. You may use candles or anything to symbolize your love and commitment.
These are just some of the things you need to consider when planning for your biggest day. Research online or consult a professional for more tips and suggestions.
