Emma's answers to ceremony issues

Deciding you want to get married is easy, but deciding how, when and where is entirely another matter. One of the great concerns for many couples is the marriage ceremony. As this is the part of the wedding that determines whether you are legally married, there are certain rules that have to be adhered to, but that doesn't mean the ceremony can't be fun, unique and memorable.
