Before I even received the course materials, I knew that unit 1 would be pretty basic. I would be learning what is in the day of a planner, ways to charge a client, different things to talk about with clients at first few meetings. I did not know that we would be diving into different traditions and customs that cultures and religions have, but welcomed the eye opening chapters.
Lesson 3 was based on some etiquette things as well as different cultural customs might take place. I loved that they riches on wedding websites because the Internet is taking over lots of places and when having a wedding where people will be coming from all over, they need a place where all the information is stored. Not only is information that guests might need to know, but some sites have places where you can create polls about things or a quiz about the couple and even having guests add their wishes for songs at band...how cool is that?!?!?! I have to be honest in the fact that I have only really explored theknot.com. But I'm lookin forward to looking into some of the others that were recommended!!!
Lesson 4....I'm not going to lie....I got a bit freaked out! So freaked out I put the book down. Watched some tv and came back to the reading the next day. What freaked me out so much?? You are going to laugh because it was nothing "serious". As I've mentioned before I'm planning a wedding to happen this fall. I've been included in a lot of "family" discussions and the MOB and MOH are on my speed dial:). I've known that the hometown minister said he would travel to conduct the wedding, I've known that the brother will walk her down the aisle, i've known we wanted a harpist and soloist. But in none of these conversations have we talked "ceremony" like the actual marriage part! Aaaaahhhhh! The beginning on lesson 4 gives a great rundown on different religious ceremonies. They even go so far to break down a bunch of Christian ceremonies. Here is where I freak out...."I know it's Christian...but what sect?!?".
Luckily the MOB calls me and saves me from my freak out...Episcopalian ceremony...look in Book of Prayer....ceremony is scripted there. Okay.....now the Internet saves me again....I find a copy online and read through it....this is easy I think. Now..we need to talk processional and recessional. But that is for another day and another conversation with the bride herself. Have a great week and keep reading!:)
