No, we're not talking about a Harvest theme or a Hawaiian theme or anything like that. (You can still build in that kind of theme if you like -- not a problem.) To us, the important theme of a wedding is the group of family and friends that you have invited and your acknowledgment of their importance in your lives. We want to help you express to them that they are your "circle of family and friends" -- these are the people who have been important in your lives until now, and who will be important to the two of you in the years to come. Therefore it is important to acknowledge the importance of their presence here on your wedding day.
For the sake of a clear, consistent message to your guests, your wedding ceremony should not be a conglomeration of pieces that don't fit in with this theme, or which express some other theme.
For this reason, almost every part that we suggest including in your ceremony will make reference to your "circle of family and friends" and remind your guests in all sorts of subtle ways how important they are in this ceremony.
And we will try to help you tailor other parts you choose to include in your ceremony so that they too support this all-important message to those you care most about.
