Anyway, it was so interesting to hear about the similarities and differences involved in preparing for and executing the Grecian wedding day, well days. The event lasted four days. Not four hours...four celebrate-til- the-break-of-dawn days. The final reception hosted a mere 530 people, including entire villages located in Crete.
Is there a right and wrong way to do a wedding? Are there traditions that must always be present because of the history and meaning behind them? Or, are there traditions that should be done away with because they are just not relevant in this day and age?
We want to hear your opinions. We'd love to open up a discussion about this topic. We are hoping to generate as many different responses as there are people. Allebach Photography is all about being true to who you are....before, during and after the wedding day. It would benefit us and hopefully others to hear your nitty-gritty thoughts on the wild, wacky world of wedding traditions. We will also be sharing a variety of photos from our past clients and how they played-out their spin on classic traditions.
Keep a look out on our Facebook page and right here on our blog for a different topic each day during the week. We will begin on Monday with....Wedding Parties: Bridesmaids and Groomsmen.
Wedding brings happiness and leaves memories and the most remembered thing after wedding is the venue.
ReplyDeleteDo exactly what you want to do. Screw tradition, unless it's what will make you happy. Hopefully, you will only be doing this once in your life and you will have years together to remember it. You want it to be happy memories.
ReplyDeleteOur wedding day was a lovely September day, a lot like this one. And we did it just the way we wanted it. Outside in our backyard with only those friends and family we wanted to be with. All the beer and wine you could ask for, great Italian fare and blues on the piano - singing catered was just a bonus.
The memories are the best part!!
DeleteThere's no right or wrong way to get married, tie the knot, get hitched, or whatever else you want to call it. There is only what we have learned through whatever society has shown us. Traditions are learned, then practiced, then universally accepted. Then, finally, they are expected. Over the years, the traditions have been less and less expected and more optional. Most couples decide which traditions, if any, they choose to have in their wedding. No matter what type of wedding a couple chooses, they should be sure it's what THEY want.
