Create Peace of Mind on Your Wedding Day, Rev. Judy Winkler
As a minister, I’ve witnessed hundreds of weddings. The scenes surrounding the ceremonies were either masterfully orchestrated events, or disorganized soap operas drenched in tears or slapstick comedy embarrassment. Scientific theory might spout, “stuff” happens, yet outcomes can be predicted based of specific absolutes. Here’s what I know for sure: The most awkward and unhappy weddings are those done without thinking ahead and planning for the desired outcome. That means considering the comfort and ease of guests and vendors. I recall conducting a beach wedding in August or a lovely couple from Minnesota. Their families and friends all flew into town for the event. Guests in high heels had to walk at least 700 yards to a restroom. They looked wilted before the ceremony began. Choose a location that will provide the greatest comfort for your guests. When you save a few dollars by choosing a remote, outdoor location, away from the comforts of electricity, restrooms, and water, but you may create chaos and upsets. Having conducted weddings at popular sites along the beach and in parks on both very hot & cold days, I seen guests faint, shiver, or become so uncomfortable, they couldn’t enjoy the ceremony. Portable sound systems failed, guests fell down embankments or stairs and no back-up plan was in place for inclement weather. Read More Pg. 8 Rev. Judy Winkler  |
