Yes, it's true there are a lot of traditions when it comes to weddings, but things have changed too.
I combined 5 of the norms you can do without, check them out!


1. Having a Seating Split During the Ceremony
Let your Guests choose to sit wherever they want!
It used to be that guests of the bride sat on the left side at the ceremony and guests of the groom sat on the right. But if your partner's family is huge and yours is tiny, your ceremony will look a little weird if most people are seated on the right side. You can make provisions for VIPs, parents, grandparents and the like to prime seats and instruct other guests to sit in any open seat. You no longer have to have the bride's family sit on one side and the groom's family sit on the other. Mixed seating is okay to do and even makes the newly fused together families feel more comfortable at the ceremony.


2. Walking Down the Aisle
If walking down the aisle is something that makes you feel jittery, you can skip that tradition altogether. You don't have to do a long straight walk. You can have the ceremony start with both of you up there together or even walking down the aisle together.


3.walking down the aisle with your Father.
This is a tradition that needs to be checked, if the dad is not around, nothing stops the mother from walking down the aisle with you, rather than giving the privilege to any relative.


4. The first time you see your groom on your wedding day should be at your ceremony.
OK! its not a crime to have a little chat before the wedding starts. Catch a glimpse of your partner in her/his gown/suit. reassure yourselves of being sure of the journey you are about to start, some prayer won't hurt too.


5. Wedding outfit must be white gowns and suit.
Yes! white gown is attached to purity, but you may opt for something informal. like your favourite club jersey or a blue wedding gown, be ready for criticisms though.
