My goal is to collaborate with the two of you to create a ceremony that is unique to you… and fun! This is simply an outline to give you an idea of how the ceremony will flow and to give us a starting point. Most ceremonies will last from 15 – 20 minutes, depending on how much content you would like to add.
- Processional:
- Music (if applicable)
- Grandparents seated
- Parents seated
- Brides’ maids and Maid of honor enter
- Ring bearer and flower children enter
- Bride escorted in
- Opening Words of Welcome
- Giving of Bride: “Who is it that brings this woman to this man?” (if applicable)
- Possible Reading by myself or a loved one. You can find examples on the ‘Resources’ page.
- Challenge: “John, will you take this woman to be your wedded wife?” “I do.”
- Vows: Chosen or written by you. You can find examples on the ‘Resources’ page.
