Multicultural Weddings 2 - Wedding Ceremonies

We plan lots of weddings where the bride and groom are from different cultures/backgrounds. One of the main things to consider is which type of ceremony or ceremonies to have and to get the right balance of the two cultures. It is possible to combine a civil ceremony with a religious or cultural wedding ceremony by doing both events on one day or by splitting the events over two weekends. If you are trying to reduce costs, I would suggest having the civil ceremony in the morning with just close friends and family attending and then inviting all the other guests to the religious ceremony in the afternoon. The religious ceremony can also be shortened if you require and most priests are happy to accommodate such requests.
