Tomorrow's my first hippie wedding. I'm officiating two of my friends on an almost spur-of-the-moment thing. But they've been together forever and (I think) love each other very much. I want to make the ceremony as beautiful as possible, so I've been taking seperate ideas from Celtic, Wiccan, Buddhist, and other traditions. Any other ideas? What part of a wedding do think makes it the most beautiful?
The most beautful part of a wedding...that's a toughy. I think it's the whole feel of it. The whole idea of two people being united forever, full of love. That's beautiful. If I was going to get married (which hopefully won't be for a good long while) I'd make it a barefoot wedding in a field in the country-side. Everyone would wear flowers in their hair and long, flowing hippie clothes. Then afterwards I'd hand out bunches of flowers to everyone as they left. Have a great time at the wedding. Peace and love from me.
definately a handfasting start off with a fast, then a sweat lodge then the handfasting the most beautiful part of a wedding is whatever sets it apart from others & makes it truly theyres for mine i'd want theyre dresses to be woven out of white wildflowers sure they may fall apart but thats ok too dont over do it drag it out & make it take forever, boredom destroys beauty make it simple & sweet focused on the love they share not on cerimony & any particular religios practice make it fun, vibrant a true celebration i find typical church weddings hollow agonizing to sit through & totaly devoid of celebration location also is key, a mountain meadow with a cool stream through it, a waterfall, somewhere beautiful & serene really the cerimony is unimportant though, & is more for the benifit of the observers then the ones getting married i met the 2 loves of my life & the 3 of us just concidered ourselves married, no cerimony at al unless u count changing our profile statuses from single to married..lol but we will be having a simple sweet cerimony someday, possibly with no more planning then hey today seems like a good day, wanna get married? spend maybe an hour figuring out what we wanna do & then just do it... the beauty isnt in the cerimony its in whats shared between
