Pretty Poetry For Your Wedding
Poetry can be a great addition to any wedding ceremony. There are all sorts of different kinds of poems, and they are all meaningful in some way. Perhaps they have a special meaning to the couple tying the knot, or maybe the poem is meant to send a special message to the audience. Whatever the case, the poetry at your wedding is sure to bring about a touching moment at any wedding ceremony.
Picking The Proper Poem
There are many different routes you could go with your choice of poetry for your wedding. Like the flowers, cake, and dress, there are many choices of poems, but only one is the right one for your wedding. Your choice of wedding poem could be romantic, inspirational, or comical - but whatever the mood of the poem, it should be meaningful to the married couple.
Another important thing to remember when selecting wedding poetry is that the poem should not be sad. Weddings are happy occasions, and selecting a sad poem would ruin the atmosphere of the event. Wedding poetry should add to the ambiance, not take away from it.
Tradition And Creativity
While many couples decide to go the traditional route when choosing wedding poetry, others get creative with their selection. There are some poems that are a common part of wedding ceremonies, such as "To Be One With Each Other" and "She Walks in Beauty." Other couples opt to be more creative, perhaps by using their favorite song lyrics or by writing their own wedding poetry!
Presentation Is Everything!
After you select the wedding poetry you want to feature at your wedding, the next thing to consider is how you will present it. Will you have it read aloud? If so, by whom? Many couples choose to read wedding poetry out loud to one another at the ceremony. Others choose to have the poetry read by the minister, or by a close friend.
Another presentation option is not to read it at all, but to print it. It is common for couples who are getting married to print a special poem on the wedding program or wedding favor. Wedding poetry makes a great keepsake that guests will treasure for long afterward.
I Now Pronounce You…
Looking back on your wedding day, you might not remember the poem that was recited word for word. However, the emotion in the room that was inspired by the poem will remained etched in your mind for the rest of your days.
