An air of mystery

Setting up a silhouette for your entrance can be classy
yet mysterious. It would also check off your boxes
for a dramatic and impactful way to arrive. Start by
standing behind a screen with only your shadows
visible. The audience does not get to see what you both
look like initially, letting their imagination and sense of
wonderment come in to play. This would, however, require
a flawless set-up and rehearsal. Talk to your light and

sound team as well as wedding planners to see what is
2 2
possible for your stage and venue.

You both are sporty and competitive, so a casual
entrance for a smaller audience is perfect. Make history
by running hand-in-hand at a manageable slow-pace
through a red ribbon, impersonating athletes that just
won a race. This could even represent crossing the
finishing line of a hectic wedding preparation period

that built up over the last few months. Just imagine how
cathartic and euphoric that would be!
