Believe it or not, thereโ€™s a few different types of weddings we could be referencing when using that phrase. โฃ โฃ Letโ€™s break it down! โฃ ________________________________โฃ โฃ โ€ข ๐—–๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜†: โฃ This oneโ€™s easy! The wedding ceremony is what โ€œ๐˜ฃ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ด ๐˜ถ๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜บโ€ โ€” name that movie ๐Ÿ˜‰. The ceremony is the official act of uniting two souls in marriage. The ceremony can take different forms, civil or religious, and can be as unique or traditional as what speaks to you, and is the only requirement to having a wedding. โฃ โฃ โ€ข ๐— ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜†: โฃ Minimonies are smaller versions of the ceremony, usually 10 people or fewer, including a photographer and officiant. To host a minimony, gather an officiant, photographer, and your closest loved ones, and head to the location. This can be on the beach or in your backyard, as long as it feels special to yโ€™all. Once youโ€™re there, exchange your vows, take photos, and soak in every second of this special moment with your partner and loved ones. โฃ โฃ โ€ข ๐—˜๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜: โฃ When you think of elopements, images of couples running to city hall or heading to a dreamy mountaintop probably pass through your mind. Elopements are intimate unions, typically between the couple, an officiant, and a witness. If you and your partner want to get married quickly or just prefer to share this special moment in private, this might be the best choice for you!โฃ โฃ โ€ข ๐— ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ผ ๐—ช๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด: โฃ Micro weddings are quite literally smaller versions of traditional weddings, meant for 50 people or fewer. The event timeline will start with the ceremony, followed by a cocktail hour and reception, and will include all of the traditions that are important to the couple. โฃ โฃ โ€ข ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป/๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฒ๐—น ๐—ช๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด:โฃ aka โ€” THE PARTY ๐Ÿ’ƒ Think food, drinks, dancing and fun as we celebrate the newly married couple. Technically, you can still have a wedding without hosting a reception. But looking at Sarahโ€™s face in this final photo, weโ€™re not sure weโ€™d want to! โฃ โฃ Did you catch the movie?!
