INTRODUCTION

Forward
"It is the bride's family that sets the size and style of the wedding, according to the wishes of the bride herself, unless these seem totally unreasonable.
There are relatively few 'musts' in planning your wedding today, but I believe strongly
that there was never a successful wedding that did not contain at least a momentary
understanding of the importance, seriousness, and solemnity surrounding the joining
of two people in the eyes of God. It is a time for respecting tradition and sacred institutions, not for making a mockery of them. It should not be an occasion for merely
attracting publicity or for breaking records for being amusing, daring, or outrageous."

Excerpt From: The Amy Vanderbilt Complete Book of Etiquette,

by Letitia Baldrige

Dear Bride To Be,

It is a rule at Crenshaw Christian Center that one of you (bride or groom) must be a member of
Crenshaw Christian Center if you plan to have a formal wedding here.
In the time you have been a member, we know you have been made aware of the Ministrys view on
fornication (pre-marital sex). Revelation 19:6-8 states,
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many
waters, and as the voice of mighty thundering, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God
omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was
granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is
the righteousness of saints.
Therefore, it is this Ministrys position that no bride participating in pre-marital sex since becoming a
member of Crenshaw Christian Center, will be permitted to wear a white gown in a covenant service
at this church. She should choose a gown in off-white, ivory, beige or a pale pastel.
All questions or comments concerning this policy should be directed to Mrs. Jennette Fant in the
Executive Office.
In the service of the King,

Suzn E. Thompson
Wedding Coordinator

Selecting the Desired Date

So you and your fiance have decided to get married and now you are
ready to select a date for this most happy occasion.
The first thing that you should do is to call the Wedding Coordinator with your first and second choice
wedding dates, allowing at least four (4) months for planning and preparation.

Selecting a Pastor
In all the excitement of preparations for that special day,
you should now -- at least four (4) months before your
wedding -- select one of the pastors on staff. This should
be a mutual agreement between bride and groom. In
most cases, this selection can be made and confirmed at
your appointment with the Wedding Coordinator.
Now it is time to call for an appointment with the
Wedding Coordinator. When you call, be sure that all
interested persons can be available on that date. This
must be done not less than four (4) months before the
wedding, (All appointment dates are allocated on a firstcome, first-served basis).

-6[

What to expect at the first meeting

Now that you have selected the date for your wedding and have made your appointment
with the Wedding Coordinator, here are some thoughts and discussions you and your
fiance should have prior to your meeting. You should discuss your desires for your wedding.
Traditionally, it is the parents of the bride who assume most of the financial responsibility. However, there are other options, such as:
-

the groom's parents may want to split the bill or assume the reception or
floral arrangement costs.

an uncle or aunt may want to contribute financially.

with most brides and grooms working these days, you may assume your own
expenses.

All of these are perfectly acceptable.

The next thing you should discuss is the number
of attendants (bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower
girl, ring bearer) that you believe will fit into
your plans, because you know your great aunt,
your fifth cousins, their children, and all of your
old high school buddies are planning to be in
your wedding. Decisions! Decisions! Decisions!
One of the thoughts you may have is, what does
a Wedding Coordinator do? This is one question
we can answer for you. A coordinator, according to Webster's Dictionary, is a person who
takes various parts of an event (your wedding)
and puts them together, making them function
as a unit (paraphrased).

List of things to bring

The day has arrived for your appointment with the Wedding Coordinator and you are
excited. You call your fiance to remind him of the time for the appointment and tell him
to be sure to bring the names of the groomsmen. The following complete list of things
to bring will help your appointment with the Coordinator go smoothly.

Wedding Attire Types of Wedding

The following is for your information only. It is not a must,
but may still be helpful as you plan your wedding in detail.
Types of Weddings
There are basically three types of wedding services, which differ only
in attire, not as to the service itself. These three are: formal, informal,
and simple.
Formal Wedding - Women
The bride's gown should be a floor-length simple or elaborate dress and veil, with a short or long
train, and long or short sleeves; if sleeves are short, long white gloves are optional. Bridal bouquet. The bridesmaids' dresses should agree with the bride's gown and type of wedding.
Mothers of the couple should wear a simple floor-length or 3/4-length costume, covered up.
Evening footwear and bag. Matching hat or headpiece are optional. Simple jewelry.
Informal or Simple Wedding - Women
The bride's dress should be street-length or a suit with matching shoes and bag (of one's usual
accessory color). Hat or headpiece. White Bible or prayer book with streamer or small bouquet.
Mother of the couple should wear a covered-up, street-length dress or a suit in simple fabric.
Dressy daytime accessories. Short, white gloves.
Formal Wedding - Men
The degree of the men's dress at the wedding is determined by the type of dress worn by the
bride. All men in the wedding party dress in the same manner. Formal wedding attire is black or
oxford gray cutaway or long jacket (most formal) with gray vest, gray striped trousers. The shirt
is any wing-collar with an ascot. Starched fold collar or the usual broadcloth shirt with cuffs with
the four-in-hand. The tie -- ascot (gray in checks, stripes, solid) with wing collar; or four-in-hand
(styled or check) with fold collar. Shoes are plain black. Jewelry is very simple.
Informal or Simple Wedding - Men
Men should wear single-breasted gray or black stroller, striped trousers, and gray vest; or a business suit in blue, black, or oxford gray.
Colorful wedding attire is popular today. According to etiquette, the traditional black and grays
are more appropriate than the colors. White pants look good with dark jackets in any season
-- all-white tuxedos do not; nor do frilly, ruffly shirts.

Planning Your Honeymoon

Whether it's two days in the mountains or two weeks on a secluded, exotic island, your
honeymoon is a time to enjoy each other's company and dream about the rest of your
lives together! As you plan your trip, consider these suggestions:

accommodations and transportation at the
best price.

to satisfy your interests.
* Ask your travel agent about a newlywed
night package, and treat yourself to a
relaxing evening before you depart for your
honeymoon.

premises, will be coordinated and directed by the Wedding Coordinator on Crenshaw
Christian Center staff assigned to do so.

Some Suggested Dos & Dont's

The Wedding Dress
Do...
*
*
*

Consider restyling your mother's or another relative's wedding dress.

Coordinate all of your accessories with your wedding dress, such as your
nylons, lingerie and jewelry.
Order your dress at least six months before the wedding to ensure that
it will be ready in time.

Don't...
*

Shop for your wedding dress alone if you're insecure about it. Take
someone with you to give you sound advice.

The Photographer
Do...
*

Make a list of specific shots you want the photographer to make. Ask
a friend or relative to point out "important" people to the photographer.

Hire an amateur. You don't want out-of-focus pictures or pictures of

headless relatives.

Don't...

Flowers
Do...
*
*
*
*

Order your flowers as soon as details of your wedding have been

planned, including the date, style, and color of the bridesmaids' dresses.
Select a reputable florist that is well established.
Ask to see a portfolio of the florist's wedding designs. As you review
the book, consider the theme or mood you wish to create.
Request a statement of understanding outlining the goods and services
to be provided.

Don't...
*
*
*

Order flowers for the wedding before checking with the Coordinator
for the rules regarding decorations.
Assume that "wedding packages" are always a bargain. An experienced
florist can work with any budget.
Plan on discussing your wedding flowers without an appointment for
a consultation.

-15[

Music
Do...
*

Make sure that everything regarding your

music is in writing and signed.

Contract a band and singers until you have

received a list of details (hours, breaks, style
of music) in writing.

Don't...

*
Be afraid to use your favorite music if it is in
good taste, even if it is outdated or
traditional.

Reception
Do...
*

Provide non-alcoholic beverages, such as punch, apple cider, and iced tea.

Let the photographer delay your reception by taking too many photos
after the ceremony.

Feel like the hostess of your reception. You are the guest of honor and
should be having fun.

Rent a reception site that seats 150 people when you have invited 200,
hoping many wont show
up.

Don't...

Setup may vary

PLANNING
YOUR
HONEYMOON

Whether its two days in the mountains or two weeks on an exotic

island, your honeymoon is a time to
enjoy each others company and dream
about the rest of your lives together!
As you plan you trip, consider these
tips:
Contact a travel agent early enough to
assure you of the best accommodations and transportation at the best
price.
Choose a destination the two of you
can enjoy.
Select a resort that offers enough
activities to satisfy your interests.
Ask your travel agent about a newlywed night package and treat yourself
to a relaxing evening before you
depart on your honeymoon.
