• Get an Officiant Who Knows You – If your state allows, why not get an officiant who knows you and your partner well? Having an officiant who knows you means it will be their joy and honor to unite you and they will be able to add personalized moments to the ceremony that an unknown officiant couldn’t. You can ask your childhood pastor, a family member, friend, or a mentor. 
  
• Add Family Heirlooms – Your family’s heirlooms are unique to your family, and will therefore help make your ceremony unique. Try wearing your grandma’s necklace, adding part of your mother’s wedding lace into your bouquet, or reading from the family Bible. No matter where you decide to incorporate family heirlooms or special trinkets, it always adds a special meaning to your wedding day. 
  
• Remember Lost Loved Ones – Many couples will be missing deceased loved ones at their wedding. But it is possible to honor and remember them by making them part of the ceremony. You can add framed photos of them to a small table at the ceremony site, reserve seats in the front row, or simply mention them in your wedding program. 
  
• Invite Your Furry Friends – Why not bring your pets along to your wedding? Whether that means having your dog walk down the aisle as a flower girl or bringing your cat along to act as the ring bearer, many couples have a wonderful time making their pets part of their wedding ceremony. Just be sure you have a plan for what to do with them after the ceremony is over. 
  
• Choose Meaningful Music – Music is very powerful and can easily communicate what makes you, your partner, and your relationship special. Traditional music is always a good choice, but consider picking other song that hold special meaning for you and your future spouse, whether that means the song you first danced to or a hit from a favorite artist. 
  
• Display Childhood Photos – If there’s an area to display photos in the wedding venue, it’s a great idea to show childhood photos of you and your fiancé. This way, people who might not know both of you will get fun background of the both of you. If there isn’t a good place to display childhood photos, try including them in your program.
