Ceremonies
Traditional Ceremony
Generally a "traditional" wedding is associated with following the customary wedding activites as dictated by the religious beliefs of the couple. It is common for different religions to have wedding ceremony tradtions that are a reflection and symbol of their faith.
A traditional ceremony usually begins with a wedding processional down the aisle including the groom, bridesmaides, groomsmen, ring bearer, flower girl, and ending with the bride and her companion(s).
Simple Ceremony
Simple ceremonies are designed for the couples that don't want to go through the stress of planning a big wedding and would prefer to avoid getting caught up in all the details. A simple wedding offers the opportunity to share their commitment to each other and legally wed without organizing a massive party.
A simple Ceremony boils down only to the Declaration of Intent with the witness present.
​
Contemporary/ Modern
With a contemporary or Modern wedding ceremony, you may include many of the same elements of the traditional wedding ceremony. These contemporary ceremonies aren't focused on the religious messages, and may be held in uniqe locations.
Contemporary or Modern ceremonies are often shorter than certin types of religious or traditional ceremonies. Contemporary or Modern are usually theme related ("Star Wars"); and others use the opportunity to craft a ceremony combining their faiths (Judism and Catholicism).
Vow Renewals
Vow renewals are not legal ceremonies; however, it allows the couples to recommit to each other and publicly share their love and devotion.
Vow renewals are usually held around the marriage anniversary. Sometimes vow renewals are centered around notable anniversaries: five-year, ten-year, twenty-year, or fifty-year anniversary.
