Wedding Witnesses

"Best man"

Witnesses
The witness: a major role, both in terms of legal and emotional, the central figure around which rotates the celebration of marriage. It is usually a close relative, a brother or a sister, a dear friend, in short, a person who plays a key role in your lives as individuals and as a couple, and you want to be present on your way to marital life. Yes .. in fact the witnesses are called to be the guarantors of moral and legal soundness of your union and marriage, to be practical and spiritual guides of the future family.
Whether for civil marriage for the religious ceremony, the number required by law is two, one for the groom and one for the bride, but can be increased at will if you want to focus on more people with this honor. Usually, there is a ritual with two or three witnesses on each side, if the priest who celebrates the ceremony has nothing to object.
Institutional tasks of a witness are:

• signature of the end of the rite, in testimony to the authenticity and regularity of the celebration took place;
• Keep the faiths during the ceremony and then go to the priest, in the case of Catholic ritual or mixed, or the spouse, if a civil ceremony, when required;
• Deliver an offer to the priest, at the end of the ceremony.
Witnesses will also be responsible for assisting in the preparation and assist the couple also morally and, not least when it comes to friends take over organizing the stag or hen parties.
The choice of witnesses is an important and delicate than the formal invitation, you must provide a meeting to officially ask the people chosen to fill this role. This should happen well in advance of the wedding date in order to allow time for them to think and possibly you the choice of shifting to another dear.
It 'important to keep in mind that some people, combined with the bride and groom by a very strong bond during the ceremony might be too affected by the event with the ease required to fill an official role: choosing and then force them to hide their emotion to be adapted to circumstances.
Whoever is chosen should be proud of the honor received and, if accepted, will make a commitment that is not only the formal, but above all the assumption of responsibility to help the couple in the growth and life, giving the first example . In cases where the witnesses are younger or age of the spouses, the decision to testify is a way to bind them to the couple in an indissoluble way.
Traditionally, the witnesses must make the wedding couple a gift important, distinguishing it from other guests. This could possibly embarrass the person chosen: If you know in financial difficulties, talk openly clear that having him there in front of the priest or the registrar with you is more important than any gift. E 'usual, too, that one of the witnesses to the couple wedding gifts faiths, whose choice is still the future spouses.
Especially in the past, most chose the witnesses based opportunity and the form that the bonds of affection: a witness "important" gave prestige to marry and, if optional, always meant a substantial wedding gift. This was also a way to publicly recognize the authority, then use him in the future, if you need help. 

The wedding reception: choice of place and style

"Wedding reception: choice of place and style"

Wedding reception


The wedding reception is in effect part of the marriage ceremony, and is a convivial moment of considerable importance.
For simple or lavish that they choose to do the marriage in fact, this may not be complete without the offering of food: the ritual of sharing a meal has ancient roots, and it is customary in many religious ceremonies, such as Christian, Jewish, which food intake is a symbol of communion and brotherhood.
Even in ancient Roman times, the wedding reception was an indispensable symbol, the ritual was in fact not considered legal until the bride and groom not broke and ate the bread with their guests.

Factors to consider in the organization of the wedding reception
The place of receipt will primarily reflect the style, tone and atmosphere you have given to the whole wedding, then in harmony with the ceremony, the flowers, the dress of the bride and the groom wore the dress.
Unlike other choices, been guided solely by their taste, style and way of being, the choice of place of receipt is also influenced by other factors.
Established the budget, in fact, you must also consider:

• Distance from the place of the ceremony. The advice is to stay not far from the place where the ritual of marriage takes place, as a route to get to the wedding reception longer than 30-40 minutes may tire and discourage many of the guests.
• Number of guests. This will impact the budget available for first person, and then the size of the place you choose.
• Type of guests. The wedding reception is in fact a party and as such must be organized keeping in mind that all guests must be at ease. If, for example, there is a predominance of young, our advice is to provide musical entertainment, the place chosen will need, therefore, a great structure but without forgetting an oasis of tranquility for the grandparents. If they are instead the elderly to predominate, you prefer a more quiet and a place easily accessible to exclude, for example, a dance party on a beach or rooms connected by long stairways. It should also be given the number of children who will attend the reception, if numerous, for example, in this case it will be important to facilitate sale to be achieved (for easy movement of wheelchairs and strollers) and even an area dedicated to them with appropriate a baby sitter.
• Place where they come from the guests. If there will be many guests who arrive from other cities, it will be important to choose a place for the wedding party near the facilities where they can stay after the reception. Especially in case of afternoon ceremony, in fact, be taken into consideration that the guests entertained for the night.
• Date of marriage. An outdoor wedding reception will be held only in the months when you are sure to have good weather, taking into account, however, that if you're in the middle of summer it will be necessary to provide a cover for the hottest hours.
• Time of marriage. That the wedding reception is a buffet, lunch or dinner it depends on the where the ceremony takes place. If you are in summer and afternoon, for example, is very trendy at the informal dejuner sur l'herbe ".
Choice of wedding location
Once the wedding reception was held at the house of the bride's family.
Today the different spaces of homes and modern habits make this solution not very accessible, even if it remains one of the choices more full of emotional ties to the newlyweds.
The options for choosing the location of the wedding are therefore:

• The house of one of two spouses or made available by a relative or friend. City, sea, countryside, mountain, in short we need a home that has spaces that lend themselves well to accommodate a considerable number of people. Given the opportunity, this remains one of the solutions that allows for a more intimate atmosphere and personalized
• A historic castle. Inside a room of one of these wonderful castles, towers and battlements, you can relive a princely marriage, fabulous, beautiful and magical atmosphere. Here the decoration of the tables will be precious and elegant. And if the wedding reception takes place at night, you can impress your guests with beautiful lighting effects, like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes did in the Castle Odescalchi. Another castle known for a wedding is that of VIP Crescenza, near Rome, chosen by Francesco Totti and Ilari Blasi.
• A former palace. Sober, elegant, an ancient building is certainly a refined solution that goes to the eldest. Emanuele Filiberto and Clotilde Courau chose such Palazzo Ruspoli in Rome to make their wedding dinner.
• An ancient villa. The villa is ideal for a wedding reception at the same time formal and romantic. The great advantage of these structures is the ability to leverage the extensive outdoor spaces, large lawns, where a good caterer can set up curtains, pavilions, pagodas, "sails" supported by pillars. An outdoor wedding reception is a choice of effects and evocative are legendary wedding of Zeus and Hera in the famous garden of the Hesperides, the seat of heaven and eternal spring.
• A country house, a farm or a farm. These beautiful structures, often with pools, have the breadth of outdoor spaces analogous to the villa, allowing them even a garden party, freeing of formalities, but who wants to make a wedding reception without too much opulence and label.
• Restaurants and hotels. Have always been the place where to play the most classic wedding reception. Depending on the tone that you will give the event, you can tour the luxurious restaurant that sophisticated feature of the restaurant, a clubhouse, a room of a club which has members. Many of these restaurants are located in beautiful and unforgettable places, like the sea or a lake.
All these classic choices are complemented by more original: a party on a beach near the sea, a barbecue in a park, a festival on a cruise ship, an intimate reception in a cabin in the mountains.
The rage today are also the weddings on the beaches of tropical islands, with typical dances and celebrations.

Some couples prefer a marriage rite for personal and private, reserved for friends and family very close, and then celebrated with great pomp in total freedom, even a few days later with a big party open to a large number of people.
Some, in contrast, prefers to have many present and participating in the ceremony, then take a rather more intimate wedding reception, for a few.
Some couples, finally, choosing instead a compromise solution between the two: the ceremony will involve several invited, but, while not participating in the wedding banquet will be restricted to a few intimates, he rejoins the spouses in the evening for a party open to all friends.
