I know this term means different things to different people. Which is awesome! My Dad is the officiant (more free-spirited ceremony) and we all know I won’t be “given away”, etc. but I’m personally still looking forward to wearing white and taking my partner’s last name.

I’m curious about traditional wedding aspects you’re maybe planning on switching up/have switched up to better represent your views on partnership/this union?

Skipping the garter toss because it's awwwkward, and most likely not doing the bouquet toss. I'm also not wearing a veil, and want to find a off white wedding dress! Flower girl isn't carrying a basket or throwing petals either! Our friend is also getting ordained online so he can marry us!

I don’t even need to know the past behind the garter toss to skip it. It’s always been cringy without knowing why it’s done!

We are having a non-religious ceremony. We are skipping bouquet toss and garter toss. I will also walk down the aisle myself and will not have anyone “give me away”. I am not walking in to “Here comes the bride”, it will be a different song. As far as names go, I actually would be happy to take my FH’s name however I am a single mom and have been for all 9 years of my daughter’s life so her and I having the same last name is very important to us (she has my maiden name/last name). I am still deciding if I want to keep my name and just add FH’s or not. I haven’t fully decided.
