When I got engaged I thought my wedding would be one of the least traditional weddings out there. I had all these plans for what I thought would be a cool take on the ceremony and reception and was so excited to share them with James! That is, until James turned out to be the most traditional groom. Which I'm sure you can imagine was kind of a shock although I'm not sure why. His family is very traditional Christian and so it makes sense that he would want to copy that because that's what he is comfortable with. Below you will find wedding traditions that we did and didn't do. This doesn't mean that I felt like it was better to do or not do specific traditions, there are just what we ended up compromising on to create a day that felt special and unique to both of us!
