Wedding Ceremonies, and especially the vows, are a reflection of a couple's intention for their relationship and commitment to each other. As a non-denominational minister ordained with both a Christian ministry and a non-Christian ministry, I can lead you through a ceremony that reflects your personal beliefs.
Most Wedding Ceremonies are created from the same basic components. Within these basic components, however, is room to build the ceremony of your dreams. The basics include:
Declaration of Consent (Giving Away the Bride)
Greeting & Welcoming
The Charge (Question of Intent)
Wedding Vows
Exchange of Rings
Benediction (Blessing)
Pronouncement as Husband and Wife
Additional aspects can be added, or an entirely different ceremony can be written. These are limited only by your own love and imagination, but may include:
Civil Ceremony (signing the license)
Sand Ceremony
Rose Ceremony
Unity Candle Ceremony
Wine Ceremony
Hand-fasting Ceremony
Blessing of the Hands
Tying the Knot Ceremony
Specialty Readings
Wedding Poems
Butterfly Release
And many more!
The ceremony is an important part of any wedding, and one that should not be forgotten in the midst of the party. I am an experienced wedding minister, and I have led dozens of couples through the creation of their ceremonies and the pledging of their commitment. I can offer advice and keep the ceremony running smoothly, always keeping the vision and vows of the bride and groom as my focus.
All my couples also receive a copy of my wedding ceremony planning guide. This breaks the ceremony down into simple components, and gives couples options to choose the pieces that are right for them. Together we can use this tool and my large repetoire of writing to create a ceremony that reflects the love you share!
