Wedding Woes

eh?

  Ceremony Do's and Don'tsProper EtiquetteThe processional - when walking into the church or venue, it is proper not to greet your guests. So there should be no waving, hugging, or blowing kisses. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging them with a nod of recognition.Giggling a lot is seriously offensive to the minister. Your pastor may think that you are not ready for marriage. Therefore, he/she may be stopped the wedding or may chastise you on the seriousness of your commitment, before continuing.Readers or wedding singers should face you during the ceremony and not your guests. Your wedding is not a time for them to showcase their talents. It is a time for you to be serenaded, while basting in the spotlight of change. It is advisable that your guests not applaud them at the end of their performance (no matter how fantastic they are). You are the only ones to be applauded on your special day. The vocalist and the readers can be thanked by the minister.Best Man & Maid of Honor Toast - During the reception (this is off topic), your best man and maid/matron of honor should face you when making their toast. It is offensive when they toast you and all you see are their backs. So provide them with some guidance.

    Basting in the spotlight?  That could be dirty and no appropriate for a wedding.

    I had a g/f who got married yrs ago that laughed/cried throughout the whole ceremony.  The minister did chastised her for 'giggling' & not taking the situation serious. I (along with other guests) were taken aback at the minister.

    This falls under the best wedding I ever went to. The brides mom made her use her 2nd cousin as the minister. He had a tiny church in some small La town. He couldn't pronounce any words that started with J. Yes, the bride and Grooms names started with J. The entire wedding party including the bride and groom were cracking up the entire time. Oh! He also felt the name to read the program to the guests. The entire program. My mom kept hitting me in the side to make me stop laughing. Classic.
