Personalize your wedding: Saying "I do"

Depending on your venue, you may be able to incorporate some non-traditional ideas into your ceremony (some churches and religions may have restrictions and requirements that you will need to follow. Other locations may have site restrictions as well). Choose a contemporary song to walk down the aisle, something that has meaning to both of you. Pick a different unity ceremony—instead of candles, some couples use sand or wine. For the reading, write a poem about you and your soon to be spouse (or, have someone else write it). If you can, write your own vows for the ultimate personal touch. What can be more personal than making the ultimate promise of love in your own words?
