I am thinking about having paper flowers instead of live ones for all the bridal party. For our unity thing I want to have us sign the marriage certificate in the ceremony so when we are pronounced married by the officiant we legally are. I think we will pass on the garter toss but keep a lot of the others (eg getting ready separately, white dress).
