Meaningful Processionals

Posted by Michelle...

If you saw my last post about the importance of doing a "First Look", you maybe wondering how I feel about the processional. Don't worry I'm not going to post the infamous YouTube video!

I do not believe that seeing each other before the ceremony makes the processional any less meaningful. After all, it is "the" moment when you realize in just minutes you are going to be husband and wife in front of all your family and friends. It's that special moment when the bride is escorted by someone special to her, a parent, step parent or even just a friend. It is one of my favorite parts of weddings. I love it all, the music, the bride's smile and of course the groom beaming with pride for getting to be the one waiting for her at the end of the aisle.

The following are three very special and fun bridal processionals captured by Steven F. Fox Photography along with a brief description of each from Jessica of Steven Fox Photography.

"Bette and Steve had a very special wedding in our minds because they had never kissed until they were husband and wife. They were a very sweet couple and we loved being there."

"Jani and Dejan had a Serbian Orthodox wedding. The grooms family parades up the street and comes to the brides home. They come bringing gifts of food and drink. The groom must "purchase" his bride and the family barters bit by bit. First he pays for a shoe, then a glimpse of her hand and so on until he has paid enough to see her and make her his bride. Steve says this is the most fun he has ever had a a wedding."

"Linnzie and Chris got married in Douglas at his parents vacation home. When Linnzie came down the aisle Chris raised his hands in the air in celebration. Oh, and he won a bet that she would make it down the aisle. LOL"

So cute, I love hearing fun stories about couples, every couple is unique and so is every wedding day.
