Religious Traditions and Wedding Guests

Aurthor: Rabbi Arthur Rosenberg

It is no secret that nowadays interfaith marriages are on the rise. According to the NY Times prior to 1970 interfaith marriages accounted for 13% of all weddings. That number rose to 25% by 2006 and the most recent Pew study has it rising to 36%. These numbers tell us that on your wedding day the entire congregation of guests will represent a mix of religions and spiritual practices to compliment the diversity of today’s societal norms. … Continue Reading

The Moment, The Look.

Author: Rev. Clint Hufft

There is a specific moment during a wedding ceremony that is the number one priority for the groom, known as “The Look”.

It’s the moment when, in his mind, the transition is happening.  His fiancé is becoming his wife.

What’s sad is that most grooms don’t realize that moment is what they really wanted until it’s passed.

He desperately wants her to have that look in her eyes that says,

A. She is the happiest woman on the face of the earth

B. She really does love him and want to marry him

C. There is nothing else on her mind

The bride needs to say exactly what she wants to say and hear exactly what she wants to hear during her ceremony.

Nothing should get in the way of The Look. We don’t want the bride thinking about something that happened that she wish didn’t happen or worried about something about to happen. We want her to have complete peace of mind.

That is why attention to detail in regard to everything connected to the ceremony is so important.

An experienced officiant can help make sure nothing slips through the cracks.

If the planning and creation of the wedding ceremony is done completely and correctly, when the bride is waiting to walk up the aisle she will say to herself, “this is going to be brilliant!“

And the groom will have the treasured memory of The Look in his beloved’s eyes for the rest of his life.
