Mixed traditions

Camille , on May 19, 2018 at 3:09 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 5
We are not having a religious wedding but we would still like to incorporate some wedding traditions. I wanted to use the cord without using the veil or the coins. He wanted to break the glass as another symbolism of marriage. Has anyone else done tha type of ceremony ? Any suggestions ?

    My FH was raised Jewish but is now secular and I was raised vaguely Catholic. For his side we are breaking the glass and considered having a canopy and some some traditional Jewish wedding music played by a harpist to walk down the aisle. We also planned kosher friendly options for the dinner.

    I guess it depends on what your looking for. I did some research into Irish and German wedding traditions and found some I liked there. Maybe you could do some research into your backgrounds and see what you find there?

    I wanted to incorporate a ring warming/blessing.

    Our wedding is outside and done by an officiant, not a pastor or priest. We are still having some religion in the ceremony through speeches and in our vows. Then before dinner we will say grace.

    There are lots of beautiful options for unity ceremonies you could consider if you'd like something with some history and tradition but that is not religious, would something like that appeal to you? I found a few articles that might interest you -
