My name is Barbara Esses and I do events for a living. I'm Ruthie Hecht; I'm an event planner
and I work with and for my mother. We're going to teach you the do's and don'ts for the perfect
wedding. In order to make your wedding ceremony the best it could possibly be, the important
thing to do is hold a rehearsal. Many times it's held the day before the wedding, two
days before the wedding, or even the day of the wedding. Because you want everybody to
walk down in some sort of uniform manner and you want them to know exactly where they're
standing. You want them to have their marks so that when they get up to wherever it is
the ceremony's being done that everything looks beautiful. Many, many people pick their
own music to walk down the aisle to. There's no such thing anymore as having to walk down
to "Here Comes the Bride" or "Pachelbel Canon." They take different moods from music and different
styles of music and therefore you want to rehearse it so that the bride and groom know
exactly what the wedding party's going to look like. It's extremely important to be
familiar with the music, to have the people who are walking down the aisle familiar with
the music and familiar with the space where they're walking down the aisle. Then you can
tell them if you want them to walk a little faster, a little slower, if you want it extremely
solemn or if you want a YouTube dancing event. All these things are things that the bride
and groom can choose but it's important to do a rehearsal so that everybody who walks
down the aisle with you is on the same page.
