As a single person, Marni adopted Sun-lee from China.  Sun-lee was three when Marni and her boyfriend Michael decided to marry.  Marni and Michael exchanged rings during their ceremony, and then we conducted a special ceremony-within-the-ceremony at which Marni and Michael presented Sun-lee with a necklace they'd chosen to represent their love for her, their respect for her heritage (Marni and Michael are Anglo American) and to affirm their joint commitment to parenting her.  The necklace features a charm with the Chinese symbol for double happiness on it.  Mom Marni is now keeping the necklace safe and sound for Sun-lee until she's old enough to fully appreciate and wear it.  And when she's old enough, mom will give her both the necklace and a written copy of the ceremony created just for her.  What a story that necklace will possess.  What a true "family wedding" it was.

Boy meets girl, they fall in love, boy proposes, girl says yes, girl goes crazy planning the wedding. Thats usually how the story goes, notwithstanding the fact that it is the golden age of wedding planners.

I think this may be my craziest idea yet -- for the artsy brides and crafters . . .

Under each seat, provide a small pad of paper and a fine point pen for your guests.  Ask your officiant to invite your guests to sketch a picture of you at your wedding ceremony.  "Take no more than a minute to do it, and stick figures are welcome."  They can sign their sketch (or not) and place it on a display table at your party for everyone to gasp or giggle at while sipping their champagne. 

You can't even begin to predict the outcome!  Now that's a way to treasure your memories.

Besides informing about who, what, where and when wedding invitations set the tone of the event. Everything matters in a wedding invitation. From the way it is addressed on the outside to the font used for the message inside, an invitation informs about the style of the event - traditional, casual, formal, intimate, grand, themed, or something entirely different. You should follow the generally-accepted etiquette of sending wedding invitations. A wedding invitation should provide the details, set the tone and convey what's allowed and what is not.

Do you have a favorite Aunt and Uncle whose marriage serves as a shining example for your own?  Invite them to answer this question as part of your ceremony:

"What is it you see in us that tells you we can successfully do this thing called marriage, just as you have all these years?"

Their words will offer you a beautiful reflection of your strengths as a couple and they will support your aim to live in wedding bliss.
