Romantic Wedding Ideas |

A MINISTER'S PERSPECTIVE Submitted by: Stephen A H Wright My suggestion for romance and "specialness" in a wedding comes from my professional experience as a minister watching couples (and their families!) bicker toward their big moment. The advice I give to as many as possible: keep it low-key and debt free. Save your money, and forget most of the bridal magazine scenarios. The romance is between you and your fiancee/spouse. So, concentrate on each other. Maybe a late morning wedding (which is old-fashioned, and rather formal, after all--and unusual these days); followed by a luncheon reception (could even be garden salads and sandwiches outdoors in the summertime); and then--just the two of you off to start a honeymoon and a new life when you have some energy. What do 250 people at a pricey sit-down dinner add to the romance of your relationship? Save your money--and your eager energy--for yourselves.
And--a morning wedding gives you most of your first married day together to
savor the fact that you are already hitched!
