ELEMENTS: Purple and Yellow Los Angeles Lakers Colors Inspire Wedding or Party Décor

You can incorporate a sports or other theme into the text of your wedding ceremony...just ask and we can make it happen!  www.ceremonyceremony.com

Whether you call yourself a fanboy / fangirl, obsessive, geek or otherwise, you can take your love of something to the next level, and express it in your ceremony!  If you love gaming, chess, Jeopardy and/or surfing for example, or if you both share an interest in books, a sports team or MMA/UFC fighter, you can make your celebration all your own. 

Consider how deep or actively involved you want your theme to be.  Do you want the overlying scheme to be incorporated into every aspect of the day?  Or, do you prefer a more indirect approach?

Above, photographer CAROLINE TRAN shared images from a 40th birthday party in early 2010 with a Los Angeles Lakers theme and colour scheme. The event was designed by THE SPECIAL DAY.  And, OneWed ran a variation of the birthday party photos for weddings.

EXPLAINER: Custom-Written vs. Personalized

What IS the difference between a custom-written and a personalized ceremony, if any?

A personalized ceremony is adjusted to fit an individual or occasion. It should reflect the honoree(s) in personality, mood and energy. All elements of a typical ceremony are present, and all legal requirements are met. Participants, readings or rituals of your choice can be included. Some officiants offer you a few different selections of ceremony segments to choose from, and put them all together for you. It's like a sandwich where you choose the ingredients.

A custom-written (or bespoke) ceremony is not only personalized, but it is one-of-a-kind. It is uniquely created for you, according to the exact specifications of the individual client or couple. The text is written on a per client, made-to-order basis, and there are no two ceremonies that are alike. Think of a custom tailored shirt or an original cocktail...there has never been anything like it before.

You CAN have a custom-written, personalized ceremony! It's about more than having the freedom to write your own vows. It's about whether you want a simple or an elabourate ceremony, or a brief ceremony vs. a lengthier one. And it's about the way you want to acknowledge the people, topics and things that are important to you.

Having an individualized ceremony also means leaving out the stuff you or the honoree does NOT want! You have the choice to not include socially or culturally insensitive material, religious or spiritual doctrine, arcane and obsolete words and references, etc.
