Family Issues

Let’s face it, weddings are boring. Most of us only go to weddings due to respect and the chow time. Even though the couple may have cut down on all the speeches and mumbo jumbo part, some people may still get bored. Too make weddings more fun, there are now a different variety of themes that may help change the mood.

Seasonal/Holiday Theme:
Basing the theme of the month of your wedding is what some couples do. For example, if you are set to be married in February, the theme will be Valentine’s. If you are to marry on a December the theme may either be Christmas or New Year. You may even want to set your theme to Mardi Gras if the wedding month is set in that day. Maybe a bikini wedding will do if the wedding is set on summers.

Time Period/ Era Wedding:
This theme is mostly a vintage era theme. The concept of the wedding is to bring out the dust from the old stuff. It can be renaissance, mediaeval, etc, as long as you can be able to find the resources. However it might be very demanding for your guests especially if you ask them to wear a knight’s armor. If you really want something old school, maybe a cave man themed wedding will be right for you.

Western/Cowboy/Country Style:
Some people live in the country side, so it might be to their delight to have a wedding them that helps reminisce their old life. The attire and supplies are easy to find. You don’t need to be too realistic by actually getting real horses; you can actually have a donkey to save you some trouble in finding a horse. A band playing country music is also easy to find. If you can’t find a country playing band, just dress up some band into cowboys and Indians and that might do. Do remember that a red neck wedding is different from a country themed wedding.

Cultural/Ethnic Style:
Show the best about both your culture. Mix and match both your culture and you might have an interesting wedding. Let your relatives and friends share their ides. If you have watched, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”, this is how a cultural and ethnic style wedding will turn out. If you are marrying a person who has head hunter heritage, maybe it’s best to do a traditional wedding instead.

Movie Themes:
You can base your wedding on popular movies like those done during prom or high school dances. Some movies may be considered to cheesy and your wedding may end up cheesy too. The best movie theme probably is to do a Shrek or a Godzilla movie. It will be cool if you dress up like monsters.

No matter the theme you get for your wedding, always remember that a wedding is only a symbolism of your love. What matters most is that you be able to enter the world of marriage with fewer problems and have a long and lasting marriage.
