Wedding Ceremony
There are some rules that must be followed when entering the church, at the altar, when leaving the
bride and groom at the reception.
Let's learn?
Church Entrance
For a long time, the first to arrive at the Church was the groom and his family, to
receive your guests. This custom is already outdated, after all the groom also
deserving of some mystery. What usually happens nowadays is something much more
ceremonious and we can say elegant, where the guests are welcomed by the parents,
both from the groom and the bride, as well as by professionals designated as ceremony coordinators.
The groom will arrive almost at the time of the ceremony, to add a certain luxury and also mystery.
which was once reserved only for the bride. As a consequence, only the groomsmen will see it.
before the ceremony.
Bride's delay
What also doesn't happen anymore is the excessive delay of the bride. This delay that has long been
back then it was the best, nowadays they are totally out of style. Besides being embarrassing,
There are some churches that charge additional fees for the bride's delay. The maximum
Allowed by the label and protocol is 15 minutes, more than that would be abusing your
guests as well as the following wedding.
Another habit that has been adopted is to only start the procession when the bride arrives, as this
ensures that the godparents, parents, and the groom do not stay at the altar for a long time, in front of
varied glances. There is nothing more embarrassing for the groom. That's why this was adopted.
change, bringing comfort and elegance to the ceremony.
The bride has arrived, the car parks at a distance, and someone, the driver or the father, goes to her.
spouse or ceremonial and informs that everything is fine, that the ceremony can begin.
Wedding procession
Godparents
1st couple of the bride's witnesses, 2nd couple of the groom's witnesses, and so on.
First, the godparents enter because they are the witnesses of the wedding, so they must
watch the entire ceremony.
Women enter from the left side of the men, to differentiate from the bride, as well as
They should only hold hands with them. It is avoided that men offer their arm to the
women, because with this gesture women's clothes will be semi-covered by the shoulders
masculine, besides leaving the posture crooked.
The order of entrance distribution for the godparents in the Church should be by degree of importance.
in the following manner: the first couple of the bride should be formed by her grandparents, followed by
brother, uncles, cousins, and friends, as well as the groom's couples. This does not mean that the
couples must invite these people and yes, distribute their godparents in front of this
exposed hierarchy.
It is very common to place the godparents in the first pew of the church to prevent the altar from being...
congested. Only the couple, parents, bridesmaids, and pageboys remaining at the altar.
Holding hands, they position themselves on the left side of the altar.
next:
The Lady on the left side of the altar and the Page on the right side - justification: the lady if she has
sufficient age can hold the bride's bouquet when she arrives at the altar and the pageboy stays on the
right side, that is, where the groom is, as he is serving him by carrying the rings.
Bride and father
The bride is the only woman to enter the Church from the right side. Preferably enter with her hand.
faded, never with arms crossed, as it may disappear part of your dress before the shoulder
from your father or companion.
Curiosity
The bride enters on the right and also exits on the right because biblically being on the right means
to be submissive to this person.
Reception
Upon arrival, the couple will have a photo session along with their parents, bridesmaids, and groomsmen.
the pages. thus avoiding them being poorly composed for the photos, if they leave it for later
afternoon.
The Waltz
The couple has dinner, and soon after, while the cake is being served, they dance the waltz: first the
the couple alone, then with the parents, then parents and godparents. The bride dances first with her
husband. After the godparents dance, the newlyweds can alternate pairs with their parents,
first with the bride's parents and then with the groom's parents.
Justification
The bride does not dance with her father first, because he is no longer responsible for her, because
she delivered these vows to the groom at the altar, in front of everyone and with God's blessing. The waltz is
a ritual in which the hosts of the party invite everyone to start the dance, soon it must be among
the bride and groom the first waltz because they are the hosts of the party. Let's analyze that as there has already been the
civil marriage and also the religious one, who becomes the male figure responsible for
the bride is the groom.
The couple invites (through the musicians) the parents, as a hierarchical form of
thanks for the blessing of this union, which they celebrate with the dance.
3rd - In the same waltz as the parents, starting from the middle of the music, the couple invites (through the
musicians) the godparents, as a way of thanks, since they served as witnesses
of this union.
The invitation to the waltz for the parents and godparents should always be made by the musician over the microphone:
Example:
And now the newlyweds invite their parents to the waltz...
And now the bride and groom also invite the groomsmen for the waltz...
• when this waltz ends
and now the newlyweds invite everyone to the waltz ...
Greetings
After the waltz, the newlyweds begin the greetings. This is because according to the number of
it would be unfeasible for the couple to greet the guests first and dance the waltz afterwards,
since on average it takes 1 minute for each greeting, therefore, with 200 guests it would be at
minimum 2 hours of time spent and the guests would have to wait to dance.
So, it was conventional to dance the waltz first, giving the bride the freedom to do her
greetings and take as long as you want with each person.
The Bouquet
The delivery of the bouquet represents the bride's farewell. She should throw it shortly before leaving.
However, you can also give it as a gift to a single friend in particular.
Favors
The memories should be placed on a decorated and special table at the exit, along with the
coffee table, as it can also be distributed by the ceremonial service, along with
the cake. There are those who leave the memories on the table, along with the plates, individually.
Wedding Ceremony
Find out how many songs are in the ceremony: Entrance of the Groomsmen, Page Boys, Brides, etc.
The choice of wedding songs always involves a series of aspects: location (in churches
it is always better to look for a sacred or classical repertoire), number of tickets (some
couples do not have page boys, for example) and choice of formation (the packages with fewer musicians
they limit the choice of songs
Typically, the number of songs played at wedding ceremonies varies according to
with the planning of the couple or the wedding venue.
In some churches, florists are not allowed before the bride, and in others, there is no procession.
of the godparents.
5–Bride's Entrance
Now it's time to perfect the soundtrack! The greater the instrumentation (instruments
the singers of your package) better. Solemn songs, of great impact, pomp and brilliance are
necessary. The traditional wedding march is often played but there are other options as well.
The great moment has arrived and the peak of the wedding is now. If the church can accommodate a good
number of musicians, we suggest a choir, which will bring great sound for your entrance. A
choir with up to 20 voices and solo singers cannot be missing.
8–Signatures
The moment of signing follows the same patterns as the blessing. In many churches, this
the moment does not require music, only a short background music (the moment is
very brief). Meanwhile, some song options can be reserved and the musicians for it
They will play if this moment occurs in your ceremony.
9–Greetings
This is one of the most emotional moments of the ceremony. Tears from parents and relatives are
very common and cheerful and romantic songs are very suitable for this moment.
Duets of solo singers and the choir with customized arrangements can still provide
more emotion.
10–Exit
The time has come to go. The joy of this moment is indescribable. All the musicians must be
used to make the music grand. Like at the bride's entrance, a formation with
coral and orchestra provide a special emotion. The famous 'shiver' is achieved when
The couple hires the Choir and Orchestra for the ceremony.
