10 Modern Wedding Traditions to Try, As Seen on TikTok:
1. Holding a Reception One Year After Officially Getting Married
It used to be that couples would tie the knot and immediately have a grand wedding ceremony. However, a new trend has emerged where couples wait until their first anniversary to host a big celebration. This approach allows them to save up and plan a more elaborate event, giving the couple time to adjust to married life before diving into wedding preparations.
