How to Have Intimate Moments At Your Wedding

A wedding is one of the most important days for a couple, but it can also be overwhelming. It's important to find times to relax and take a moment with your spouse. Read on to find some ways to have time for just the two of you at your wedding.

Have a Private Dinner

The first way to find time for just the two of you at your wedding is simply by sharing a private dinner . In a traditional wedding, couples are so busy greeting everyone and catching up that they don't even have time to grab a bite to eat. We promise your guests won’t miss you for those fifteen minutes–especially if this is done during the guests’ dinner.

After wedding portraits are finished , find a private space for the two of you and have the caterers prepare your plates. Be sure to discuss this with your venue, planner/coordinator, and wedding caterer well ahead of time. You can savor the moments that just happened and ensure you get to eat that delicious food! . It's your first dinner as a married couple–dress up the table, with a floral arrangement and candles and make it unforgettable!

Private Vow Reading

Vows are the most meaningful to the two of you, so consider exchanging your vows in private instead of the ceremony. . This is a time to pour your heart out to your soon-to-be spouse (HOT TIP: if you are not having a first look, you can do this blindfolded or with a door/partition separating the two of you This way, you don’t have the pressure of feeling like there are a million eyes watching you–you can react genuinely to your partners’ promises.

Another idea if you go the traditional route and wait until the ceremony to see each other, is to give a sneak peek to your guests. Read a story, share a promise, reveal a dream, or pull a snippet from your vows. Once the ceremony is over, read your vows in private. You have already done the important thing–read with that just-married feeling now that it's real.

Private First Dance

Dancing is so romantic– you get to hold each other and express, without words, how much you love your partner. While it's always fun to think about those wedding dances that turn into a flash mob, it's nice to picture a private moment with your spouse.

Private first dances allow you to breathe and be in the moment with your new spouse. Set the space for an intimate mood with candles and romantic music.. Once the moment is over, you can join your guests for a grand entrance; maybe this is where you can do a fun choreographed routine that ends with a backflip from the best man in front of everyone.

Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life. Time alone makes your wedding even more special. We hope these ideas will help create the wedding day you’ve always dreamed of. It's your special day–make it magical.
