It was easily solved for me because I'm having a Jewish ceremony, which means I need four chuppah holders. I see no reason why a non-Jewish wedding couldn't still use a wedding canopy held up by people who mean a lot to the couple. One "offbeat" thing I'm thinking about doing with my holders is, when the groom and I start kissing, have them give a disapproving look to the audience, and then lift the canopy off the poles and hold it in front of us so that we can make out in private for a moment before peaking around the edges and making our escape backstage (yeah, my Temple is big enough that the pulpit has a backstage area).

The only decision left is who has to twirl the baton. ps: I really have witnessed wedding parades before. Anytime there's more than five or six people it's a perfect excuse for a parade!!!

Each will have a flower and will give it to me...those flowers will make my bouquet. When they give me their flowers, they'll go sit down. So that's another idea. :) I'm not having any bridesmaids or groomsmen…but instead, am having the people important to me stand at the front at the very beginning (and no one will be wearing ANYTHING matching).

This is also a great chance to have the guys form up to do an "arch of whatever" for the B&G to walk under. You know, an arch of fishing poles, golf clubs, light sabers ... I love the palanquin too!
