You may now kiss each other
Every once in a while, a couple comes up with a wedding alternative I’ve just never thought of before. Lo and behold, Dagny and Charlie came up with this super simple twist to a traditional ceremony script:
“It was also important to me that our first kiss as a married couple was something that both of us entered into. Traditionally, people say, ‘You may now kiss the bride.’ We opted instead for, ‘You may now kiss each other.’ For many, it seemed like a silly, small thing, but for me it was a big deal.”
Break a watch to stop time during your wedding + TIMESTOP DnD wedding ideas!
What sci-fi-loving kid (or adult. I am certainly not one to judge) has not dreamed of manipulating time with a broken watch? If you and your partner are of a particularly geeky bent, consider working this broken-watch ceremony into your wedding rituals.
Encourage spontaneous wedding singing as you walk down the aisle
Guests burst into song as Briavael and Nikki danced down the aisle after their ceremony, perfectly capturing the joy and festivity of the day. If spontaneous wedding singing on the way out of your own ceremony sounds like a winning idea, I suggest you follow Briavael and Nikki’s lead and nudge the spontaneity along.
Celebrate your geeky love with a LARPers’ sword arch!
We know we’ve got some Offbeat Brides in here who love to LARP, and have I got an idea for you!
Do what Faye did. Grab your LARP friends and give ’em a whisper when your partner isn’t looking. “Pst. Yo. Bring your fave boffer sword to the ceremony.” Mike was completely surprised when he and Faye’s friends created a foam sword arch for their ceremony exit!
