I had a request for a wedding recently with a specific request: please no cheese.
What constitutes cheese? It surely is in the taste of the beholder. Admittedly there are a few rituals that officiants repeat so many times that we may feel like ENOUGH already. There are readings I include that are exactly what I had for my wedding 36 years ago. How many Pachelbel's Canons are too many? How many times do the cynical guests wiggle around when we say: love is patient; love is kind?
But individual taste dictates much of our ceremony design, and we then must be our best at that which is no longer exciting for us, but must be recreated freshly to serve the needs of the ceremony.
Is cheese the trendy? Is cheese the soupy sentimental?
