different types

voyey

I want to incorporate the lazo ceremony, because I'm hispanic, I also want to have the rose ceremony, i just think its neat & different. Should I still have the candle ceremony, would it be too much? If I don't do it, would it be wrong. I'm not sure I'm against it, I just like the idea of being different.

I'm thinking it might be too much, I would time it all out to see.  Personally, I hate a really long wedding ceremony, and full mass is over the top for me, but that's me.  If those are the only things you're doing, with a ring exchange and vows, and you're not Catholic and doing the full mass, communion, etc. you might be OK.  Also, if these things are really, really important to you, then you should include them.  The unity candle is a tradition that is, from what I know, about 50 to 100 years old, but not "required."  And some churches don't encourage it because it's not a Christian tradition. There's also a Latino Weddings board, and those ladies might be more well versed in how long this would take.

I say if you want it in there then do it! If your guest don't like it oh well it is your and your FI's ceremony and it should have all the meaning in it that you want.
