In the world of weddings, things are changing and for a very good reason. Some of the customs that have been around for a long time are not making sense for everyone any longer. Even though some persons stick to the traditions no matter what, I have found that most of the weddings I assisted to in the last few years are doing things differently instead of stiking to the old wedding traditions. There's nothing wrong with sticking to the old ways, but there is something to be said for adapting.
Wedding traditions took hold because they had a reason to be done that way. The social climate was one of the reason things were done in such or such way in the past. Wedding traditions that don't make a lot of sense any longer are still being used, but slowly, people are trying to do things that make more sense in today's world. When a lot of these customs came along, life was a lot different, and with the modern world changing so fast, some of those old traditions simply don't exist anymore.
One of these wedding traditions is how people are seated in the church. Sometimes, wedding organizers will seat the family of the bride on one side of the church and will seat the groom's family on the other side. Because people move around so much today, the numbers of guests on the sides can be awfully lopsided. This means half of the church is full and half is almost empty. That can look awkward. When this happens, some are changing the wedding traditions and seating guests as they arrive, not according to family.
Other wedding traditions that are changing could be the colors chosen for the bride's dress and the ceremony. The groom may choose a woman to stand as his attendant of honor, or you may decide to have two people make speeches instead of just one. Wedding traditions are nice, but they really have to make sense. If you decide to plan a wedding, you do not have to follow the rules set forth by someone else in the past. If you want to change something, go ahead and do it. You'll be happier on your special day, and that is all that counts in the end. onkeyup="cntWords(this,document.postform.c)">
