We will begin with the formal wedding requirements. The concept of a formal wedding is based on the fact that a wedding is actually a very solemn occasion. It is the coming together of two separate individuals to become one. It is a union before God and man that is sanctified and blessed, vows are spoken and a commitment made for a lifetime. In
light of the solemnity of the occasion, tradition and elegance become the cornerstones of the entire affair.
On the other hand the casual wedding has an understated elegance and can be a beautiful affair. You don't have to spend enough money to break the bank; people will be relaxed and will have a really enjoyable time. Casual weddings will have kids running around, noise and a lot of hilarity.
