How would you like the cake cutting ceremony to proceed ?

1. Traditional cutting of the cake with song & feeding of the Bride & Groom Yes No
2. Non-Traditional music for the cutting of the cake Yes No
3. Low key with little attention Yes No
4. The photographer will coordinate the activity for photographs only Yes No

   The cutting of the cake is a ceremony which is intended to symbolize caring for and sharing with one another. We recommend that forks be used as they make the image more attractive for the photographer and videographer. Forks also minimize the possibility of someone being hurt during the more playful "squashing" that sometimes happens.
   

   7. BRIDE AND GROOM'S DANCE: Yes No
   Song:

   8. BRIDE AND FATHER'S DANCE: Yes No
   Song:

   (Traditionally "Daddy's Little Girl" is used, but "Unforgettable", "Wind Beneath my Wings" or any other song that is special to you is certainly appropriate.)

   If your father is not able to attend, it would be appropriate to have the person who gave you away at the ceremony take your father's place during the dance. If any brothers, grandfathers, uncles, or cousins are present, calling out different male family members to dance with the bride makes for an excellent scene.

   9. GROOM AND MOTHER'S DANCE: Yes No
   Song:

   Any ballad or "slow song" such as "What a Wonderful World" or "Song for My Son" is appropriate. Try to pick a song that is special to the groom or his mother. (Ask your DJ if you would like some suggestions.)
