Poll - Your Wedding

The roll call is rarely used and I was thinking it may be time for an update anyway.  So please tell us:

Are you not yet engaged, engaged or married?

When is/was your wedding date (or if not yet engaged, what year do you hope to get married)?

Did you/will you have special music during your ceremony?  If so, what?

Edit - What I meant was either someone singing during the ceremony or a song that the guests sing - like a hymn or chorus.  Or possibly you are having an instrumental piece played during the ceremony.

Did you/will you have scriptures or other readings in your ceremony?  If so, what?

What is one thing from your wedding day that you remember best?  Or if not yet married, what is the one thing on your day that you are most excited about (besides being married)?

If you had to describe a theme for your wedding, what would it be?  (E.g. traditional, elegant, casual, formal, spring, fall, destination, etc.)

    Happily married!

    When is/was your wedding date?

    August 13, 2011

    Did you/will you have special music during your ceremony?  If so, what?

    If you mean singers and musicians then no. But we didn't really have traditional music either.

    Did you/will you have scriptures or other readings in your ceremony?  If so, what?

    Yes, but I forget exactly what verses we used. The pastor read them as part of the ceremony

    What is one thing from your wedding day that you remember best?  Or if not yet married, what is the one thing on your day that you are most excited about (besides being married)?

    Seeing H's face when I walked down the aisle. We had a first look, but his expression was still priceless.

    Traditional.. summer.. fun?

    Engaged!

    When is/was your wedding date (or if not yet engaged, what year do you hope to get married)?
    11/26/11.

    Did you/will you have special music during your ceremony?  If so, what?
    Uhh, if you mean like a musician or string quartet, then no. But we're going to have specific songs (not instrumentals) for certain parts of the ceremony. Not 100% on them yet though.

    Did you/will you have scriptures or other readings in your ceremony?  If so, what?
    We probably won't...or if we do, maybe one or two short ones.

    What is one thing from your wedding day that you remember best?  Or if not yet married, what is the one thing on your day that you are most excited about (besides being married)?
    I'm probably most excited about a few things: getting ready with my BMs, putting the dress on for the real deal, seeing FI's face when I walk down the aisle, and hearing my new name announced! I can't wait to be Mrs. FI's last name lol.

    If you had to describe a theme for your wedding, what would it be?  (E.g. traditional, elegant, casual, formal, spring, fall, destination, etc.)
    Probably vintagey fall, if that makes sense. It's not really a "fall" theme, with leaves and acorns or anything. But we're incorporating the colors and the feeling of fall, if that makes sense. And the house we're getting married at is a restored house from the early 1900s.

    Did you/will you have special music during your ceremony?  If so, what? We are still in the process of choosing all this right now.

    Did you/will you have scriptures or other readings in your ceremony?  If so, what?
    We do plan to have two or three but are still deciding. We really like:
    1 John 4:7-17
    "Let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us."



    What is one thing from your wedding day that you remember best?  Or if not yet married, what is the one thing on your day that you are most excited about (besides being married)? I'm sooo excited to see FI's face when I walk down the aisle. I'm hoping for tears :) haha.

    If you had to describe a theme for your wedding, what would it be?  (E.g. traditional, elegant, casual, formal, spring, fall, destination, etc.) I would say rustic elegance, semi-formal, summer....

    When is/was your wedding date (or if not yet engaged, what year do you hope to get married)? June 26th, 2010

    Did you/will you have special music during your ceremony?  If so, what? No

    Did you/will you have scriptures or other readings in your ceremony?  If so, what? My cousin did a reading from the book we used in our marriage study with our officiant and his wife and our officiant also did a short sermon on marriage and what the Bible meant it to be.

    What is one thing from your wedding day that you remember best?  Or if not yet married, what is the one thing on your day that you are most excited about (besides being married)? Dancing and having fun with our family and friends. It was so amazing to just see everyone we love all in the same place. The day is pretty much a blur, but those memories are the best part. This is why I highly suggest getting a videographer. If we didn't have our wedding video, we would have missed out on so much.

    If you had to describe a theme for your wedding, what would it be?  (E.g. traditional, elegant, casual, formal, spring, fall, destination, etc.) Ours was a traditional/elegant/summer wedding. We had the ceremony and cocktail hour outside on the water and moved inside for the reception. We had a slight theme of butterflies and I called it "He gives me butterflies" but we definitely didn't overdo it.

    I remember just being so beyond ready to marry the amazing man God has placed in my life.  Neither of us had cold feet at all throughout the entire "courdating"/engagement/wedding week process.  We were just ready to enter into the covenant and start our life together.

    We were both really nervous about our first kiss ever being in front of 300 people.

    Song of Solomon 2:10-14,16a;8:6-7a
    My beloved spoke and said to me, “Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me. 
 See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone.  Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, 
the cooing of doves is heard in our land. The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. 
Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.” My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places on the mountainside, 
show me your face, let me hear your voice; 
for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely. Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; 
for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. 
It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away.
    1 Peter 3 1-7  Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear. Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.And the Canticle of Love

    We've decided to do a lot of fun, non-traditional songs. We're using Colbie Calliet's songs "I Do" and "You Got Me" for different parts. We're also using an instrumental version of "Don't Stop Believing"
    Did you/will you have scriptures or other readings in your ceremony?  If so, what?
    We haven't planned this. My dad and best friend's dad is marrying us, so we're working with them to fingure out the structure we want and then my dad asked if he could fill in scriptures and things he wants to use for us.

    Did you/will you have special music during your ceremony?  If so, what?

    Yes but I don’t know what it is called.  All Orthodox weddings have certain songs that go with it.  Generally just the choir sings it but anyone can if they know it.

     

    Did you/will you have scriptures or other readings in your ceremony?  If so, what?

    There will be but I am not sure which ones yet.

    Seeing FI’s face as I come towards him, our first dance, and taking pictures with him.

    DH's Honor Attendant sang "When You Say You Love Me" during communion for the two of us.

    Yes. Jeremiah 29:11-13, and a passage by Beuchner about what the vows mean.

    There are lots of little things that still make me grin foolishly when I think back on them. But I think the best memory was just how much fun we had the entire day, goofing off while taking pictures and doing silly dances at the reception.

    If you had to describe a theme for your wedding, what would it be?  (E.g. traditional, elegant, casual, formal, spring, fall, destination, etc.)
    Simple elegance. I'd say winter, too, but in AZ it doesn't mean much. ;)

    Did you/will you have special music during your ceremony?  If so, what?Edit - What I meant was either someone singing during the ceremony or a song that the guests sing - like a hymn or chorus.  Or possibly you are having an instrumental piece played during the ceremony.Yes.  We had a ton.  My cousin sang the song the H and our pastor processed to (Doubly Good to You), and she and her husband dueted on the candlelighting song (The Wedding Song - There is Love).  They also sang our unity candle song (I Will be Here).  Our recessional was Take Me Out to the Ball Game and our guests spontaneously joined in.

    Did you/will you have scriptures or other readings in your ceremony?  If so, what?
    Oh - more music!  We had a song called "Love" sung in lieu of a scripture reading.  It was 1 Cor 13 done in song.

    What is one thing from your wedding day that you remember best?  Or if not yet married, what is the one thing on your day that you are most excited about (besides being married)?Oy, so many things.  my dad telling me to slow down as we walked down the aisle, my SILs being late because SIL fried her hair and other SIL couldn't figure out what to do with it, my best friend falling over when she was swing dancing at the reception!, dancing to Barbara Ann with my dad...So many great memories of that day!

    If you had to describe a theme for your wedding, what would it be?  (E.g. traditional, elegant, casual, formal, spring, fall, destination, etc.)Christmas with a baseball twist

    Thanks joesgurl, I've been looking for a good time to come back to TK/this board after my wedding/honeymoon break.  This will serve as a good introduction!

    When is/was your wedding date? August 20 2011

    Did you/will you have special music during your ceremony?  If so, what?

    Yes - a violin and singer and pianist did Laudate Dominum, Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, and Come What May.  Hymns during the service were Blest Are They and Beautiful Savior.  Our processional was Happy Together by the Turtles and the congregation/guests sang along.

    Did you/will you have scriptures or other readings in your ceremony? Yes, we had three: Romans 12:1-2, 9-18, Matthew 5:14-16, and the Apache Wedding Prayer.

    What is one thing from your wedding day that you remember best?  Walking down the aisle to meet my H.  And hearing all the wonderful speeches from our family and close friends.

    There are so many things I remember, but my favorite moment was when I got to the altar and stood next to my husband, he whispered "I love you".
