We want to be original, but not tacky or way out there-no star trek themes- anyone have any good ideas for poems that aren't cheesy, ceremony ideas...and especially ideas to include our two year old son in the ceremony, in a bigger way than ring bearer. We don't belong to a church or really practice any relegion, but we're deeply devoted to each other and want to have a meaningful, personal ceremony, not just all the "do you take this man..." stuff. Thanks.

I am also planning a fall wedding! I don't think p;inks and blues are good colors for fall but it's your day so it's really what you want. I haven't decided on my colors. I am leaning toward a burnt orange or dark gold or something...I think I'm stuck too!
My fiance and I aren't religious either so we are going to write our own vows.
I think it's great you want your son to be more involved besides being the ring bearer but at two...I can't think of a lot he would be able to do but entertain the guests! Who doesn't love kids! He will probably have a lot of fun on the dance floor! It will be a very big day for him too.
Have fun with it. Fall weddings are very beautiful if you have extravegant centerpieces or not...just chose your colors and work from there. Michaels craft store has some amazing things you can work with and not expensive at all!
Have fun and congratulations!

Write your own vows, express your feeling towards one another at the ceremony. Have a outdoor wedding, and local minister/preist. Or you also could get a good friend to get their licence to marry yous instead.
Have you son like you said as the ring bearer, hes really still to young to do much, if he's talking a bit, get him to say a few words in the mic at the end of the ceremony like, I love you daddy and mommy or somthing like that.
Have bright colours in the wedding like pinks, blues and whites. Have bubbles for people to blow when announced husband and wife and while dancing. Have it near dark time for the reception so you can have the glow of the stars and moonlight, making it really romantic. Have tents set up so incase it rains.

In regards to your 2 year old son, at my wedding my husbands son stood up with the groom for the ceremony and was included in the vows as well. For myself this was his son from a previous relationship. I am assuming this is your son too from what you wrote. It really made him feel a part of everything instead of the ring bearer thing.

September is a Great! time for a wedding. Our wedding anniversary is in October and it is great fun.
One thing that we did (actually our friends did for us) was to have a football themed "Tailgate" bridal shower. Both guys and girls were invited and everyone wore something from their favorite team. Everyone brought gifts that had something to do with Tailgating / picnic stuff / kitchen stuff - to prepare snacks. It was great party and low pressure for our friends. Everyone was able to participate and give us a wedding gift (some people gave us big gifts but the theme also was easy for people to give a very inexpensive but fun gift and it wasn't any pressure).
Football may not be your thing - but whatever your thing is make it fun! Don't get too worried about doing everything by the book. This is the start of a great adventure - start it out with some fun. Fun for you, fun for your future husband, and fun for your friends and family.
PS the pictures turned out great! I almost looked like I was glowing in my white dress with the oranges and browns and reds from the changing colors of the trees outside the church. It was a bonus.

Well I took the unity candle and the sand ceremony mixed them together and viola! We both and my 4 year old at the time, picked crystallized wax in our wedding colors, we then poured them into a deep candle holder and lit it. We still have it and I like it better than the unity candles that are out there. Be creative, have fun

Use colours which you like, you are the single doing the adorning and watching the pictures interior the destiny! I attended a deep pink and yellow September wedding ceremony, a fall wedding ceremony the place each and each bridesmaid wore a various coloration (sage, mild yellow, burnt orange and lilac), a fall wedding ceremony with latte colored accents and one with blue. you are able to surprisingly lots do something you like!

My wedding is in September too.
You could have a harvest/fall themed wedding. Use fall reds, oranges and browns as your colors, serve a harvest style dinner, etc.
Your son could walk you down the aisle, stand up there with you both or light a unity candle with you symbolizing you family bond.

There's a great song that I'm including, that no one seems to know..."What are you doing the rest of your life?" It's by Michel LeGrand, from Happy Endings. It's done by Sting on Chris Botti's latest live album (available at JCPenney and supports Dr. Phil's afterschool initiative).
