Writing Your Own Wedding Vow
The wedding vow is a very important part in your wedding in a sense that it is one of the things that makes your wedding official. Many couples will choose to write their own vow nowadays instead adopting the traditional ones.
Renewing it!
You may also renew your vow after some years. Of course the write the renewal one may be even more difficult. You have already married for maybe 25 years and you may think that you can just tell him / her and you really do not know what you should write. In fact, you can put some poems into the vow and it can be very sweet and romantic. And you can also find a lot of samples of Poems for Wedding Vow Renewal.
Of course I will not suggest you to copy and paste all this samples. But I think it is still good to read these Poems for Wedding Vow Renewal thoroughly so that you can start write your own.
You can get some samples of the poems from:

A UK (London) Based Photographer
Today, I found the website of Mark Anderson Photographer when I was surfing on the web. Similar to other photographers, Mark does nearly everything kind of photography. And without any surprise, one section of his porfolio is about wedding photography.
Wedding Photography - A Stylish Approach
From Mark’s website, I found the following sentences, “We believe that successful wedding photography involves not simply portraying the main events of the day but capturing the mood and spirit of the occasion.” I think it is very true and I quite agree with this statement. In your wedding, what is really lively is not the settings or decorations. It is the guests, as well as you, that make the whole event become something lively and human.
I think Mark can really do what he believes. From the samples of photos from his website, I have a feeling that he captures the mood of the event very well. And this is the essence of what wedding photography should be. If you are also living in UK, I think Mark should be one of your options.

A special Wedding
I read a piece of news a few days ago on a special wedding in Hong Kong. The wedding was taken place in a wet market, in front of a stall which sells poultry. The parents of the groom have been running the little stall for 40 years. They earn their living from this stall until the groom finished his Ph.D. degree.
The meaning is always the most important
Every couple would like to make their wedding as unique as possible. This wedding in front of a poultry stall is undoubtedly very unique and special. However, what I think is that such a wedding will become meaningless without the story behind. In this wedding the ceremony is certainly very meaningful since it tells the story of the groom.
Everyone of us will have a different story. Our weddings will automatically become special if there is a meaning behind. After 50 years, maybe all your guests have forgotten what had happened on your big day. But the meaning and memories will still be with you. And that’s why meaning is always more important.

A Red Colored Gown
Traditionally, Chinese wedding dresses are in red color. With the patterns of dragon and pheonix on it. Personally I think it can be somehow more sophisticated than a traditaional western wedding gown.
The Most Expensive Chinese wedding Gown
Most people have an impression that the most expensive Chinese wedding dress is not red in color. In fact, it is still red basically. However, the patterns are made with gold and silver strings and this will nearly cover the whole dress. And this makes the gown look like a gold and silver one.
If you are interested, you may also try to wear a Chinese wedding gown on your big day. It can certainly impress your guests a lot.

Hong Kong Weddings
In Hong Kong, it is very interesting that people will adopt both “Chinese wedding” and “Western Wedding”. In fact, I will define the wedding in Hong Kong as “Hong Kong wedding” rather than a Chinese or a Western one. This is because couples in Hong Kong nowadays have combine both traditions for their weddings.
Chinese Wedding Traditions
Couples in Hong Kong will normally follow the Chinese traditions in the morning of the wedding day. Of course they may not strictly follow all the rituals. However, they will still have the Tea Ceremony and worship the ancestors. Then they may have a more “western” ceremony to exchange vows.
When East Meets West
Sometimes the Chinese and Western traditions will be combined. Taking the wedding reception as an example. Most couples will follow the Western tradition of cake cutting. Interestingly, the cake is usually a fake which will be used for different couples. On the other hand, guests will follows the Chinese tradition to give the couples money instead of wedding gifts.
Of course some couples will prefer a simpler approach such as holding a small gathering with friends and relatives after exchanging vows. However, due to the pressures from the parents. Some of these couples will still take this “Chinese-Western” approach.

About this wedding
On 28 August 2007 there was a couple in KunMing, China who had their wedding in the air. They had their wedding in the air and also exchanged the wedding bands in the air. The reason for this special air wedding is that both Tie Guangju and Jiang Dezhang (the bride and the groom) are working as high-rise building cleaners for the same company.
Planning for your own unique wedding
The wedding is certainly very interesting. I think it is really romantic and perfect for the couple. Their wedding is tied to their lives (in this case the couple tied their wedding to their careers). Not many couples are able to connect their weddings to their lives.
All of us are thinking of and want to plan for a unique and special wedding. In fact the most unique wedding is a wedding really about you. It should be able say something about you and your partner. If you have any idea to connect your wedding to your lives, you should go ahead and forget all the etiquette and traditions. In this way I am sure that you can create a unique and special wedding of your own.
