UNIVERSAL WEDDING ETIQUETTE

Right Time to Marry

"Choose not alone a proper mate, but a proper time to marry" If you don't need to contemplate practical considerations as part of choosing the month you will marry, there is folklore, myth, and tradition to guide you.
The Victorians loved attributing meaning to everything and many paid close attention to wedding rhymes that suggested certain results from certain wedding dates.

January- Marry when the year is new, he'll be loving, kind and true.
February- When February birds do mate, you wed nor dread your fate.
March- If you wed when March winds blow, joy and sorrow both you'll know.
April- Marry in April if you can, joy for maiden and for man.
May- Marry in the month of May, you will surely rue the day.
June- Marry when June roses grow and over land and sea you'll go.
July - Those who in July do wed must labor for there daily bread.
August - Whoever wed in August be, many a change is sure to see,
September- Marry in September's shine so that your life is rich and fine.
October - If in October you do marry, love will come but riches tarry.
November - If you wed in bleak November, only joys will come, remember!
December- When December's snows fall fast, marry, and your love will last.

Ceremony Location

You need to decide whether to marry in a house of worship or ata secular location. If you plan to marry in a house of worship , try to brieftly reserve a few dates pending your final decision to be sure the church or synogogue will be available when you confirm your reception location.

Otherwise you will want to consider alternative possibilities, whether indoors or outdoors, in a hotel or a wedding hall, at home or at the city hall. Do you want a private ceremony with only a few close friends and family members attending?

 The wedding reception  is not just a celebration party; it's your chance to share your good fortune with the family and friends who form the most important relationships in your life. Whether you plan a grand affair with elegant food and service or prefer a barefoot clambake under the stars, the reception should be a reflection of your personality. Combining personal and traditional touches is an homage of sorts to the people and influences who formed you- and an introduction to the person you have become.
