- Is having a religious ceremony important to you?
- Do you want to get married in a house of worship?
- Do you share the same religious faith?
- Are there specific religious or cultural traditions that you want your fiancée to participate in?
- Is your partner comfortable with your ideas?
If you both answered "yes" to all of the above questions, you’re having a classic ceremony and the
detailsshould be easy to plan for. Start by contacting your religious officiant of choice as soon as
you announce your engagement.
If you both answered "no" to questions number one and two, than you’re having a personalized
ceremony that’s more casual or alternative than classic, and you’ll want to explore what each of
you is envisioning.
If however, your answers to the questions above uncover some incompatible desires, you’ll want
to finda way to honor your differences before you spread your big news. Should conflicts arise,
remember to keep an open mind and open heart, and seek professional counsel if necessary.
