incorporating customs...
Every family has its own meaningful traditions, and the celebration of your marriage presents a perfect opportunity to explore them. Even if they're not considered the "norm" you may find that incorporating them into your ceremony and reception adds a very special significance to your day.
Invite your parents, grandparents, minister and/or rabbi to share the vast information they hold on family and cultural traditions, customs and wedding celebrations. Perhaps someone has a song that's important in your family. Maybe there's a dish that's always served at weddings.
Your family's traditions for weddings may vary from an other's in ritual, ceremony, food, dance and music. Do not hesitate to thoroughly explain your wishes to the caterer, coordinator, photographer, bandleader and other wedding professionals who will be providing services. They will more than likely be very willing to accommodate your desires.
Discuss in detail the wedding celebration you envision. Request that your catering director and chef be involved in planning your reception, especially if you're serving a family favorite dish or a special dessert.
Your wedding coordinator also needs to be aware of any traditions you want to incorporate into your wedding. An experienced coordinator will be familiar with the many religious and cultural customs, but do not assume that he or she knows exactly how your family carries out tradition.
