Q.
We
are exchanging our nuptials under a beautiful
gazebo in a public garden. We expect 40 - 50
family and friends to be in attendance. We are
only allowed a maximum of 10 chairs for our
elderly and/or disabled guests. Thus, we are
having a "standing-wedding". Our wedding date
is June 10. With weather conditions in mind,
what is an appropriate duration for our standing
ceremony?--Sumter, SC |
|
A.
I also had a
standing wedding ceremony in a Gazebo in
Charleston on The Battery....our ceremony was
around 20 - 30 minutes. We had a breeze and it
was in mid 80s (May) but you are in June...HOT
so I would not go over 20 - -25 minutes. Good
luck! Maybe order some Wedding Fans...that
would be a nice touch and keepsake! |

Q. Do
you know of any restrictions that I need to know
about for a wedding in a church? --Newberry, SC
|
| A. You
need to discuss with your church...but you need
to ask about: flash photography,
videography, can you use a aisle runner, can you
do the lighting of the candle, can you throw
rice, birdseed, petals or blow bubbles on the
church grounds. There maybe a few more
restrictions but ask if they have a
handout. You certainly do not need any
surprised on your wedding day |
|
|
Q. I
get the words mixed up...what it the
processional and recessional? --Elgin, SC
|
| A. The
Processional is the music that is played during
the entrance of the wedding party and
bride. The Recessional is the music played
for the exit of the bride and groom and their
wedding party. |

|
Q. My
father died 4 years ago, who else can I have
escorting me down the aisle? -- Pageland, SC
|
| A. Many
brides go down the aisle holding their mother's
hand. That is an option. Some even
go down the aisle by themselves. If you
are wanting a man, ask an uncle or even a friend
of the family that you are close to. |
|
|
Q. I
would like to include some our our family
members in our ceremony...do you have any
suggestions? --Winnsboro, SC
|
| A. You
can ask someone to do a reading or sing a
song. You could get them to participate in
the Lighting of the Unity Candle. |
|
|
Q. Where
can we get some help in writing our vows?
--Columbia, SC
|
| A.
First you
need to discuss with your officiant to find out
what must be kept in for legal purposes.
Then try buying a book on writing vows, get on
the Internet and put in a search of "Vow
writing" see what comes up.
Discuss together what you want to stay the same
and what you want to add. |
