A beautiful wedding ceremony,Wedding Ceremony Suggestions Articles with the perfect readings and all, will help with the feeling that you are laying a strong foundation for your entire marriage. It goes without saying that marriage isn't something to be taken lightly and it is still considered an important foundation for relationships. Although the wedding is on the surface nothing more than a certain series of social events, it is definitely worth paying attention to some of to finer points.

What is traditional anyway?

What is considered a traditional ceremony vary depending on the culture and many national customs may also have fused over time.

In the classic Persian wedding for example, both the bride and the groom would dress in white with wreaths of flower on their necks, actually somewhat akin to the Hawaiian Lei. These wreaths of flower are still worn in modern wedding ceremonies in Pakistan (once an integral part of the great Persian Empire), but it is no longer present in the Iranian wedding ceremony.

In western countries various readings and exchanges of vows are most often a part of the ceremony. These days couples often add their own vows during a ceremony and music and specially selected readings are considered important.

Many musicians used to playing at weddings will be able to consult you on what music would be best suited for the various phases of the wedding day, and when dealing with professionals you should find that they are very skilled and flexible. Most importantly, the end result of a good musical selection can add a whole new dimension to your wedding - as indeed it can for almost any social event.

Readings that add atmosphere

Assuming you aren't running of to Vegas as soon as you finish reading this you should reserve plenty of time to create a custom ceremony after the vows have been exchanged. Couples can take this opportunity to unite not just their hearts, lives and families, but to unite their very beings. Couples often like to take separate religious vows at each of their given religious houses. Multicultural weddings are often very thorough and last several days in order to incorporate both cultures and events.

As for the wedding readings there is a very rich selection, ranging from classical ones from or more unusual ones. Typical sources are the bible, fiction and poetry.

Or how about this classical poem "My Luve" by Robert Burns:

"My Luve" by Robert Burns

O my luve is like a red, red rose,

That`s newly sprung in June:

O my luve is like the melodie,

That`s sweetly played in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonie lass,

So deep in luve am I;

And I will luve thee still, my dear,

Till a` the seas gang dry.

Till a` the seas gang dry, my dear,

And the rocks melt wi` the sun;

And I will luve thee still my dear,

While the sands o` life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only luve!

And fare thee weel a while!

And I will come again, my luve,

Tho` it were ten thousand mile
