The celebrant explains that the box will be opened and that the letters will be read at a later date, often on their first wedding anniversary or tenth wedding anniversary. We love the idea of these time capsule-type rituals, which are a great excuse to celebrate your marriage long after the wedding day has passed.

If the order of the wedding ceremony is a bit overwhelming and you have some doubts about what rites to include and when, that's completely normal. The type of wedding ceremony you choose will determine many of your subsequent decisions: what rituals you'll include in your ceremony, where you'll exchange vows, and who will officiate. This is based on an old Irish custom dating back to Penal Times (1695 to 182), when church weddings were prohibited in Ireland.
The groom enters followed by the best man, the groomsmen, the bridesmaid, the bridesmaids, the ringbearer, the florist and the bride escorted by their father. Civil ceremonies are usually small, although a civil authority often organizes a large wedding in a public hall.

All members of the wedding party return to the aisle in the opposite order from which they entered, usually while the guests continue to cheer them on and offer them blessings.

Personalized ceremonies can be completely original or include classic and modern wedding elements in the couple's chosen narrative. While most people think of the wedding reception, the wedding ceremony is what makes the union of two people symbolic and meaningful. .
