From the Spring In Style Weddings:

Make Your Own
Traditions
Want a wedding like no other?
Reinvent convention with ideas as unique as you are


IN THE SIMPLEST SENSE, all weddings adhere to the same script: an exchange of vows, a white dress, a first dance, good cheer. Indeed, there are a few moments in our lives in which tradition is as expected, or plays as prominent a role. Yet, great weddings don't stand on ceremony alone. In fact, the true personality of any wedding—large, small, simple or sumptuous—comes from only one source: the two of you. By sharing something of yourselves on your special day, you create a mix of heart, soul, affection and warmth. From those ingredients, ordinary weddings become extraordinary weddings. So what do you need to do to find your personal best? Just look inward for inspiration.


"No one was there but us. We had our ceremony in the front yard of a bed-and-breakfast. We hadn't told anyone. When we came back, we sent family and friends a videotape of the ceremony." VANESSA WILLIAMS, SHOWTIME'S SOUL FOOD


How's this for unique: I know a guy who before his bride walked down the aisle, walked down the aisle himself to the theme from Rocky. Gauche, but certainly unique.
