Don’t you love when a wedding shows the daily life of the couple? Next, three couples share how they made their weddings feel personal for them …
Falina + Billy
London
Felina: “The pressure around weddings is real. Every day, you are bombarded with inspiration in social networks, Pinterest and television programs. Trying to filter it and stay faithful to what you want can feel overwhelming. Choosing to go with a humanist celebrant was one of the best decisions we made. It meant that the ceremony could be adapted to us and be completely free of religious connotations.”
“We also wanted to weave in cultural touches that seemed deeply personal to us. A lovely tradition was to have confetti in red envelopes. In the Chinese family and friends Singapureninos give red envelopes to the couple on their wedding day to wish them good fortune.”
“My uncle started Yam Seng’s toast, which was really overwhelming in the best possible way! Longa, La Longa, and the fertization “, and the February”.
“Listening to the words that resonated in the room, with so many loved ones intervening, repeatedly, was simply incredible. We felt that everyone’s joy and blessings were physically filling the space that surrounds us.”
Eillie + Derek
Oakland, California
Eillie: “We had our wedding ceremony in its entire Heights Park, which dominates the Pacific Ocean and the bathrooms of Sutro. When we hooked Sunset Reservoir Brewing Company for the reception, we realized that there were bicycle stations right next to both places. Derek raised the idea of some of the two miles between the two miles.”
“We told the guests in advance. No one was surprised, given our enthusiasm for the bicycles, we had even gone to a bicycle ride for our first date, and 20 people ended up riding with us.”
“The attire of my wedding was two pieces. After the ceremony, I changed my skirt to white pants for the trip, and then I returned to the skirt in the brewery. From the weekend of the day of the fallen in San Francisco it is not exactly tropical, I asked my mother if I could use her harvest!”
“The journey itself was cheerful. The cars played the horn and people greeted while we rode the great road. Take a time to spend time in nature and move our bodies was actually such A relief. There is so much adrenaline and emotion around the ceremony, so doing something that felt so familiar and fun just after it was an excellent way to free energy and return to earth before reception. “
Mia + Artur
Portland, Oregon
Mia: “Artur and I met at the School of Art in Minneapolis. Our wedding was such a good opportunity to show our families the type of work we love to do. We design the invitations and the” wedding brand “, for lack of a better term. But we struggled to find an idea of altar that we talked about. We wanted to let the natural beauty of the place shine, but it would also do it to our own.”
“A few months before our wedding, Artur went to a work trip. I had a gallon of spare orange paint in our house and ended up painting all our inner orange doors. It was a bit too Artur, when he turns back, whatever out of the outbreak.
“Our house does not have any walls large enough to show the orange background, so it is bent for now. I hope we will have a wall that fits perfect. I loved the bottom, but I was so focused on Artur at the end of the hall that vanished.
