    Types on Weddings

    Types of wedding


    A double wedding is a single ceremony where two affianced couples rendezvous for two separate weddings. Typically, a fiancé with a sibling might plan a double wedding with that sibling.

    A destination wedding is any wedding in which the engaged couple and/or a majority of their guests travel to attend the ceremony. Whether this happens for an intimate beach ceremony in the Caribbean, extravagant nuptials in Las Vegas or for a simple ceremony in someone's back yard, chances are it qualifies as a destination wedding.

    A weekend wedding is a wedding in which couples and their guests celebrate over the course of a weekend. Special activities, such as spa treatments and golf tournaments, are scheduled into the wedding itinerary for guests' enjoyment throughout the weekend. Lodging usually is at the same facility as the wedding and couples often host a Sunday brunch for the weekend's finale.

    A white wedding is a formal or semi-formal wedding in the United Kingdom, Ireland and United States, as well as Commonwealth, traditions.

    A military wedding is a ceremony conducted in a military chapel.

    An online wedding is a wedding that is either conducted on the internet, or is an event that resembles a standard wedding when two people who wish their avatars, or characters, to be married. Many couples are using the internet to meet and share their vows. Planning is made easy, with online wedding guides (see references) where reliable and friendly vendors are listed. Weddings that are broadcast live online are also referred to as online weddings.

    A same-sex wedding is a ceremony in which two people of the same sex are married or, more commonly, civilly united. This may be an official and legally recognized event, or (in places that do not allow same-sex marriage) it may simply be an opportunity to make the same pledges and have the same celebration with friends and family as at a heterosexual wedding.

    A civil wedding is a ceremony presided over by a local civil authority, such as an elected or appointed judge, justice of the peace or the mayor of a locality. Civil wedding ceremonies may use references to God, but generally no references to a particular religion or denomination. They can be either elaborate or simple. Many civil wedding ceremonies take place in local town or city halls or courthouses in judge's chambers.

    A church wedding is a ceremony presided over by a christian priest. Ceremonies are based on reference to God, are frequently embodied into other church ceremonies like Holy Mass.

    A Jewish wedding is a ceremony presided over by a rabbi at a synagoge. The famous tradtion is when the groom breaks a wine glass under a red cloth. The bride and groom are alsao carried in by chairs.

    Small Weddings

    Why Small Weddings Rock

    Intimate nuptials with double digit guest lists—a la Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds’ ceremony two weeks ago—are becoming a trend in Hollywood. Here, why these scaled-down celebrations are the next big, make that small, thing—and why you should consider following suit.




    It’s all about you.“When there are 25-50 guests, everyone’s eyes will be on you,” says Samantha Goldberg, celebrity event planner. “But when there are 200 or 300, it’s just not possible for the focus to always be on the bride.” And let’s be honest here, this is your day to be the center of attention.

    You can have your dream wedding.
    Designer dress. Jaw-dropping location. Stunning flowers. Amazing band. Yep, even on a modest budget, a Hollywood-style wedding is possible when you keep the numbers down. The less you have to spend feeding throngs of people, the more you can splurge on the things that matter to you.

    Your fiance will thank you.
    The bigger the bash, the higher the stress level, according to Goldberg, who says she’s seen women break down from exhaustion, go on anti-depressants, and blow up at their guy when planning huge weddings. “Plus, when brides-to-be get stressed or anxious, they tend to micromanage,” she adds. “And no man wants to be micromanaged.” So do yourself—and your fiance—a favor and limit the guest list.

    You’ll have more fun.
    The post-ceremony party is just that—a party. But when you have a ton of guests, it can start to feel more like an obligation. “With hundreds of people there, women start to feel like they need to host, and forget to have a good time,” explains Goldberg. “In fact, at 75% of the large weddings, the bride walks into the reception hall, turns to me, and says, ‘I can’t wait for this to be over.’” Keeping it intimate enables you to relax and focus on your happiness as a couple.

    It gives you an excuse to invite only those you love.
    Instead of feeling bad about not including your entire sorority or being pressured in to send a Save-the-Date to your dad’s golf buddies, you can just say, “I’m so sorry, but we’re having a small wedding and really have to limit it to immediate family and close friends.” No hurt feelings. No guilt. Just a group of people you really want to be with.
