A Christian of the Baptist denomination is usually called a Baptist. Baptist is one of the many denominations found in the Christian faith. Baptist wedding ceremonies are most always formal affairs with certain protocol that is followed. The first step in this type of wedding is the ushering in of the VIPs. The VIPs are the parents and grandparents of the bride and groom. The bride's family is seated on the left, and the groom's family is seated on the right. After the VIPs are seated the guests are ushered in. Next, the groom and officiant enters and takes their places at the head of the altar. Tags: Baptist Wedding Ceremonies

Keep things light and playful, when you write your own vows. For example, when Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston got married they vowed to split the difference on the thermostat. You may want to add something similar in your vows. Little touches like this can add a bit of gaiety to a ceremony that is otherwise solemn and serious. If you're really looking for something different you could choose a reading based on Dr. Seuss. Of course, this reading would rhyme from beginning to end, in the style of the famed childrens' book author. Tags: Humorous Wedding Ceremonies
