your ceremony

Of course the main part is the  I Do's, but you can personalise your ceremony  to make it just right for the two of you - and if you'd like to include some special touches, go ahead . Perhaps you'd like to honour someone who  can't be there?  Are there guests who would love to read something meaningful?  Is your nephew excited to carry your rings?!

Other elements you might consider: 

• A sand ceremony is a lovely visual way of linking a couple. While the officiant speaks you both pour different coloured sand from conch shells into a bottle, or an hourglass. The sand mixes and can never be separated. You could include children in this too, celebrating the bond of two families.
• Depending on how many guests you have, it might be a good idea to have a microphone and sound system so everyone can hear your words. That’s why they brought their tissues!
• Music while your guests gather and playing as you walk down the aisle makes a lovely addition to the ceremony. Think tropical, with a steel pan player… Or gentle acoustic guitar sounds might be more your style? Or perhaps the notes of saxophone music drifting across the beach?

These are just some of the additions we suggest. If you have other ideas let us know - your Nila Destinations wedding planner can make it happen!
