Nowadays, many brides practice another special and touching spiritual ceremony in their weddings, which is honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary.

There are three ways to honor the Blessed Mother who was once a bride herself. One is by incorporating the piece, Ave Maria, in the ceremony rites. Another is by reciting the prayers for the Virgin Mary such as the Hail Holy Queen. Kindly consult with your officiating priest where you could have this in the ceremony.

Lastly, most brides offer a bouquet of flowers, sometimes her bridal bouquet or a part of it, at the statue of the Virgin Mary. This is done before she and her husband leaves the altar.
