Wedding industry experts estimate that one of the most popular wedding trends in 2020 will be thoughtful and personal weddings ceremonies, perhaps often also with elements of mysticism. There are no couples who don't want to get married in a church adherents of a specific faith, but at the same time want a more peronist approach than in the registry offices, look for alternatives. That is why wedding ceremonies will now become more and more thoughtful, including various mystical ones elements, as well as unleashing good energy for the future successful lifestyle of the young couple.

Don't practice just because it seems interesting

Plant mystic ININ NINI , which offers young couples alternative, magical wedding ceremonies, speaking of the current trend towards such ceremonies, it is considered only natural.

"Our connection with nature, waters, fire, winds, forests, meadows is so strong that without fail in the context of ceremonies we we understand that someone who works with a natural way of life is very consistent with our values. We are children of nature, that is what we believe in, feel deeply for and ask for a blessing for," ININ NINI is convinced.

However, she also points out that in no case should you get carried away with some ritual actions just because they seem interesting, shocking, stylish and shamanic. It is even dangerous - to conduct rituals that we do not really believe in and what we do not practice everyday. "At the end of the day, it's the same as standing in a church whose message we despise and participating in it in the ritual. In the search for an alternative, it is important to really use the opportunity to get to your common values, not to grab the same cancers in another cow.

Therefore, my call when looking for alternative ways of implementing ceremonies is to truly look into each other's eyes, to say step by step what we believe in and what blessing we want to bring into our big event. The marriage ceremony is a moment that you can return to again and again when you need strength, inspiration, remembering your love

Think that later this feeling of return will be strong and support you to be blessed and true a sense that the great moment is not buried under the weight of style, theatricality or institutions.”

The wedding ceremony must be authentic

ININ NINI believes that wedding ceremonies are different. “There is a love ceremony and there is a “hook”, prestige lifting, asserting power over another, acting out a silly illusion, an "everybody's doing it" event. More and more more often people strive for cleaner, warmer togetherness, including at weddings. There is so much institutional around, dictated by society, that in this moment, in their adventure, the couple wants to be themselves.

They stand more honestly for the values they practice everyday and do not want to let into their most intimate event what don't believe They don't want their love to be recognized and blessed by a state bureaucracy or a religion that doesn't have their heart in it. Therefore, they look for alternative ways to experience this event in order to make it authentic for them. But at the same time it is important for me to add that there are people working in each relevant institution for whom these ceremonies are the work of the heart.

I have met employees of the registry office with a wonderful aura and gift, who are also capable of the rigid ceremony of the law turn into a felt event. I have met pastors who have love flowing through them and whose work is ceremonial wonderful. It all depends on the alignment of values with who is leading the ceremony. Not a story of better or worse version, is a story about what we believe in and for our marriage ceremony to reflect that as cleanly as possible," so ININ NINI.

A wedding ceremony does not have to be a protest against something

ININ NINI indicates that alternative wedding ceremonies are not just about not doing like everyone else.

"It is an opportunity for the couple to get closer to what they believe in - individually and together. This common faith will be the sum that will help you go through joys and sorrows, tears and laughter throughout your life. Always for couples on their first date I say - and now go home, discuss among yourselves whether I am really the priest you want present in your heart event.

An honest answer will be your first big answer in finding common ground for what you believe. Your wedding is not about personalities and about institutions, no person or institution from the outside will declare you husband and wife, your real and common experiencing the moment will be what allows you to feel the wonder.

You are the ones among whom the saint will enter, everything else must be 100% supportive. Your ceremony does not to be a protest against something, it must be created as a resource from which you will draw strength for the rest of your life."
