This weekend I attended the wedding of a high school classmate of mine who has a daughter who’s about to turn five. After the bride and groom exchanged vows, the groom (who is not the girl’s biological father) gave the little girl a necklace and vowed to be a good dad to her. There was barely a dry eye in the church. The wedding contained a lot of other beautiful touches: The bride’s brother officiated. The groom’s brother sang a solo. The reception included an adorable photo slideshow. But the necklace to the little girl really stood out.
My favorite detail from my own wedding was the pillow the ring bearer carried. My maternal grandmother, who died before I was born, made it for my mother’s wedding. I was honored to include it in mine. Another wedding detail I love: My younger sister, who recently was married in a private ceremony on the island of St. Lucia, included Pachelbel’s Canon (the song I used as my processional) in her celebration as her "something borrowed."
What’s the most memorable wedding detail you had at your own wedding or that you’ve seen at another wedding?
