June 8, 2009 by Francina
One of the first choices you will have to make if you are planning your second wedding will be if you want a traditional, religious or civil ceremony. There are many ideas and etiquette for second weddings nowadays and any of these will be acceptable.
In this fourth post in the series on Second Weddings, we’ll focus on The Ceremony. The first was about Planning a Second Wedding, the second on Announcing the Engagement, and the third about The Invitations.
Although the person conducting the ceremony will play an important role in putting the ceremony together you will be able to put your own personal spin on it. Perhaps you do not want a traditional wedding but want to make a few subtle changes. It is often refreshing to change things a bit. It will keep your guests interested and prevent them from becoming bored.
These are some things you will have to think about regarding The Ceremony:
1. Music
2. Literature, poetry or readings from the Bible
3. The processional or entrance of the bride and groom or bridal party
4. Wedding vows (more about this in the next post)
5. Exchanging of rings or gifts
6. Attendants to sign the marriage register
7. Lighting the unity candle or similar ceremony
8. That first kiss 
9. The recessional or leaving the church
Remember that this is only a guide. You can mix things up and add your personal touch. It is your wedding and you certainly do not have to repeat what has been done before. Collect etiquette and ideas for second weddings from different sources to provide more options.
