Wedding Etiquette Speeches
How can I organise a bilingual wedding ?
I’m french, and I want to get married in the UK with an English girl. How can I organise the ceremony and reception so that my french family can still enjoy the day (I’m thinking speeches, toasts… as well as the actual ceremony. Is there an “etiquette” to deal with that situation ?
I’m not sure about the ettiquette around this, but I’m faced with the same dilemma – in trying to bring two cultures/two languages together. How I have seen it done before is that the ceremony gets broken up in pieces – say for example one of the readings to be done in French. What was done for the family that didn’t speak French was that in their wedding program they were given the translation of the reading and vice versa.
Then in the actual reception, we have picked two people to do the toast – a good friend of the groom and a good friend of the bride – and they were able to do it in the two languages.
Hope this helps and good luck!!
