Not all lovers dream of organizing their wedding day according to the classic scenario: with a ransom, toastmaster, competitions, an incredible number of guests, and so on. Many couples want to spend their celebration just the two of them, without guests and a magnificent feast. If you are one of them, then this material is definitely for you. We will tell you about various options for how a wedding for two can take place, as well as its pros and cons.
1) A wedding in limbo is the most unusual wedding
Piercing fans looking to get married have decided to make their wedding memorable by
hanging themselves during their wedding vows using hooks
that hook into their skin.
This unusual wedding took place on April 20, 2007 in New Orleans, USA. The newlyweds, as it turned out, had a passion not only for each other, but also for manipulating their bodies.
Those who are frightened by such manipulations with the body can celebrate their triumph without shocking ceremonies, for example, by heading to some nearby suspension bridge:
Ideas for entertaining guests
Use non-trivial ready-made ideas for a creative wedding or come up with your own!
Sommelier
Let guests not just drink wine, but taste it. In the future, they will be able to tell which drink they liked best and discuss with refined sophistication the notes in a particular wine bouquet.
If the wedding is taking place in a flower conservatory or garden, hire a plant specialist to teach interested guests about the growing flowers and the wedding legends associated with them.
Illusionist or comedian
Call an illusionist or magician to entertain your guests. Everyone loves magic tricks , so this is a win-win option for holding an unusual celebration.
Instead of a toastmaster, you can invite a professional comedian who will fill the pauses and make guests laugh at witty jokes.
Instant photo device
The beauty of an instant photo machine installed at a wedding is that each guest will be able to immediately print out the photo and take it as a souvenir . This innovation appeared quite recently, so any of the invitees can then tell what fashionable and modern wedding they attended.
Spa
If space allows, turn your bathroom into a spa where guests can get a quick manicure, get their hair done, or even relax with a massage . This idea for a creative wedding will appeal to everyone, because it will give you the opportunity to spend quality time.
Artist
Let a cartoonist draw caricatures of each of the invitees. Find a specialist who does this professionally and funny, but in a way that is not offensive. All guests will be satisfied and grateful, and they will have funny cartoons as a memory of your day.
2) TJ Maxx store is the most original place for a wedding
Lisa Satayuth's dream was to get married in the shoe department of TJ Maxx.
Moreover, this dream appeared in her childhood. She called this place happy, and, oddly enough, the groom had nothing against it.
They were declared husband and wife between the shelves of shoes in the TJ Maxx store in Mount Pleasant (Michigan, USA), which was open to customers at that time. The wedding took place on July 24, 2010.
And here is another no less original wedding at McDonald's:

3) Wedding in zero gravity - wedding in space?
The bride dressed up for the ceremony, as expected, in a white outfit and chose earrings with figurines of planets, the groom was dressed in a tuxedo, and his cufflinks were made in the shape of a spaceship.
A couple from New York - Erin Finnegan and Noah Fulmore - got married several thousand meters above the Gulf of Mexico
. It was the world's first zero-gravity wedding, according to organizers.
The couple exchanged vows of love and fidelity (however, experiencing some difficulties) and sealed them with an upside-down kiss while on board a Boeing 727-200 on June 20, 2009. Anyone can make this kind of flight thanks to the ZERO-G company.

4) Wedding underwater
216 divers took part in the celebration of an unusual underwater wedding, which broke all records for the number of guests present at an underwater wedding.

Many people dream of getting married underwater, and this has not been a problem for a long time:
Leading
Ideas for a small wedding for 20 people do not exclude an entertainment program, because guests should not get bored. Yaranov Artyom
Small wedding - how to hold it in order to successfully implement the ideas of the newlyweds? First of all, you need to choose the format of the celebration: perhaps it will be a theme party, an off-site registration or a wedding on the seashore. The bride and groom will not go wrong if they decide to hold the ceremony in the open air and organize a family dinner under the shade of trees.
But the classic version with painting in the registry office and celebration in a restaurant is also excellent. However, regardless of the venue, you must try to make sure that the atmosphere is joyful, cozy, romantic and does not create the feeling that this is an ordinary family dinner and not a wedding. Every guest should feel comfortable and not bored.
If the celebration will take place in a restaurant, then you can choose an establishment with a homely atmosphere, where instead of the usual strict chairs there are soft sofas. Guests will not sit at separate tables, but at one large one. This will allow you to sit comfortably and feel at ease throughout the evening.
But it is important to consider that even a small company will need a platform for dances and competitions, as well as photo zones , congratulation zones, where those present can leave their messages and parting words to the newly-made spouses in a special book.
If the newlyweds are not fans of the classics, they can choose unusual places for the ceremony and gala dinner, for example, a forest clearing, a river bank or the sea. The main thing is to prepare in advance: set up a table, chairs, armchairs, get pillows and blankets, take care of canopies.
For a winter wedding, the best venue for the celebration is a country house with a fireplace. A real winter fairy tale and magic: guests can be treated to delicious mulled wine and a home-cooked dinner. Each of those present will definitely take with them a piece of warm memories associated with gatherings by the fireplace, an extraordinary photo shoot in the winter forest.
As for the menu for a small wedding held in a restaurant, the list of dishes must be discussed in advance with the chef. If the feast is organized outdoors, then it makes sense to use a catering service. Of course, the menu is also discussed with the company in advance, and it should be thought out taking into account the chosen style. Thus, a Russian wedding would not be complete without caviar on the table, dumplings, mushrooms and cucumbers. A “sea” wedding will be reflected in fish dishes, seafood delicacies, etc.
The variety and size of dishes depends on the number of guests. It is much easier to organize a feast for a narrow family circle, because, knowing the taste preferences of your loved ones, you can accurately choose appetizers, main courses, and drinks that your guests will definitely like.
5) Hovering above the ground on ropes - an original idea for a wedding
This couple of newlyweds decided to marry legally in the air, hanging on ropes, but unlike fans of piercings, without harming themselves in any way.
As professional high-altitude builders, they descended using industrial climbing equipment
from a multi-story building in China in front of amazed guests.
By the way, groom Jiang Dezang, 27, and his fiancee Tai Guanju, 26, work as high-rise window cleaners in Kunming, China, so they are not afraid of heights
. Apparently, they love their work so much that they even decided to get married, so to speak, “on the job.”
Other couples decided to follow their example:
6) Roller skating wedding
Who said that a bride's wedding dress has to be traditional? What if the bride, groom and all the guests suddenly decide to roller skate?
This is a party that everyone will definitely remember!
7) Glacier wedding - a beautiful wedding in the mountains
The bride and groom say "I do"
in the icy mountains near Juneau, Alaska.
The temperature at the mountain top is usually 10-15 degrees lower than at the foot. One can only hope that a cold wedding does not promise a cold marriage for the young
.
And this wedding took place in southeastern Iceland among the snow and ice:
Bridal outfits
There are no rules regulating the dress code for a wedding without guests. It is difficult to surprise employees of the registry office and other institutions that the newly-minted spouses plan to visit. Therefore, clothes can be anything.
For the groom
- Classic suit.
- Jeans and a shirt, or straight trousers with a pullover or sweater.
- In the summer, you may prefer light linen trousers and a T-shirt.
For the bride
- Long white dress with a simple silhouette, mini dress.
- Cocktail dress, evening dress.
- A skirt with a blouse or a classic two-piece with a jacket or vest.
- Pantsuit or versatile jeans with a blouse or T-shirt.
- Sundress from any fabric, favorite dress.
The main rule in choosing clothes for lovers is that they should be in the same style and not shock others too much. Beach shorts or a radically revealing outfit are not a good idea for a formal event. It would also look ridiculous to see a girl in a T-shirt and jeans next to a young man in a classic suit, or a guy in informal attire next to a dressed-up beauty in an evening dress. If you are planning a photo shoot, themed costumes are appropriate, which will add an interesting twist to the ceremony - prince and princess, pirates, elves, dudes, etc.
A hot air balloon wedding is the most romantic wedding
Mike Kijak has been traveling in hot air balloons for about 15 years. He organized a business and helps people get married right in the air, traveling in a balloon
over the Sonoma Valley in California.
Very few people can fit in one basket, so the wedding ceremony will be quite modest - the closest people can be present at the “painting”. However, if they agree to fly in a hot air balloon.
9) Wedding in the rain - a romantic holiday for two
There is a sign that if it rains on your wedding day, the marriage will be happy.
. If this is so, then Hernil Roisol and Rem Campo from the Philippines will be the happiest couple in the world, since on their wedding day there was not just a downpour, but a real flood.
Photos from this “wet wedding” spread all over the Internet. The couple got married in the flooded church of St. Antonia de Palua Parish in the city of Manila in the Philippines is in the midst of a monsoon downpour.
Just before the big day, the bride, a primary school teacher, prayed to God that the rain would stop on her wedding day. Obviously, her prayers were not heard by heaven, but the wedding took place anyway, and the newlyweds look very happy in the photo
. They decided that they would be as adamant as the rains.
Bad ideas for your wedding day
If you have come up with something very original and are sure that no one has done this before, take a look at this list, advises the portal svadbagolik.ru. Will your idea for a wedding turn out to be too original, or, on the contrary, terribly hackneyed:
- White bridesmaid dress. Couturiers from all over the world have long shown brides how beautiful wedding dresses can be in other colors: beige, powder, soft blue. Why not take their advice?!
- Pigeons. They have long been considered an “echo” from the past.
- Toastmaster with many banal competitions comes from the USSR. It is better for the wedding to be led by a tactful host who will come up with a variety of different types of entertainment for the guests.
- Photo shoot not suitable for weather. If it’s bitterly cold outside, and you want to pose for a long time and painfully against the backdrop of a winter forest with bare shoulders and stiletto heels, then believe me, the photographer will get tired of masking your red nose and blue lips later. And you won’t look the most festive after just a couple of minutes; you won’t have time to figure out how to beautifully photograph a wedding dress, or rather, yourself in it. In winter, it’s definitely better to go to the studio, especially if a banquet awaits you after the photo shoot.
Didn't like anything? Come up with something of your own, and perhaps your idea will become very popular in the field of organizing and holding weddings!
