Alpha Delta Pi Wedding Traditions

[honeychile]

I love that garter idea! Especially since our colors are on the traditional blue & white garter!

If there are going to be more than a couple ADPis there, two sisters can stand at the doorway, and hand a silk violet with blue & white ribbons out to the sisters - but be sure to have some extras! You never know when you'll find some more "mature" sisters!

Every ADPi wedding I've ever been to has had the circle with a serenade. We usually use "When you love an Alpha Delta" and "Remember". At mine, the ADPi tables had blue decorations, instead of the other colors. I wore my pin (with sapphire points) as the something old & something blue.

And one last item I just heard of was taking pictures "thru" the < > fingers of two sisters. You can see the fingers and the newly married couple, and also of a sister with them. It looked really cute!

Okay, so now I really wanna get married

We also do one in addition to serenading the bride - we serenade the groom. We form a circle - bride included in the circle - and put him in the middle and sing "Put Him in a Corner" (what we sing during candle passings - well, before they were outlawed). One by one we go around the circle and step in to kiss the cheek of the groom - or hug him if we don't know him that well. The last one to go to the middle is the bride, who gives him a good kiss.

The boys seem to like it.

Man I wish I would have thought of some of this when I got married!

I am going to an ADPi wedding soon and I LOVE the idea of doing this - except for the part where I never learned the "Put Him in a Corner" song!

Would this be on the ADPi song CD or does anyone have the lyrics?

Thanks Ladies!

I don't know this song either! Would someone send me the lyrics and tune??

Thanks!

Thanks!

Oh, there are more than a few versions of it! Maybe I'll let someone else start - but if no one comes through, PM me!
