New Video from Cierra & Jeremie

I recently received a video from a bride that I just had to share with you!

I get asked a lot of questions about setting up the grand exit, how the guests are supposed to line up, and what is a safe distance to stand away from the bride and groom when they are making their grand exit.  When I saw this video I thought it illustrated a proper exit.

When gathering guests together, have them make the 2 lines and have their sparkler in hand.  Be sure to have a couple of designated "stagers" that have BBQ lighters ready (regular lighters and matches are not strong enough to light the sparklers) and have one stager at the front of the line and one stager at the end of the line.  Once the first sparkler is lit, have guests dip their unlit sparkler into a lit one to ensure that the lighting goes quickly.

Tell guests to hold their sparklers out away from them and high in the air so that the bride and groom can walk / run through the tunnel without having to bend over or crouch down.  This is not only safer, but also makes better photos.

Thank you to Cierra and Jeremie for sending in this great video!!
